Our client is undertaking a major multi-year modernisation programme, migrating thousands of servers onto a new cloud platform, and needs an experienced architect to design the software-defined networking and micro-segmentation foundations before the migration wave begins in earnest. This is a rare opportunity to shape the target-state network architecture for an enterprise-scale environment from the ground up, working at the intersection of cloud platform strategy, security, and infrastructure modernisation. Key Responsibilities Design and lead the implementation of VMware NSX architecture across a large-scale, multi-thousand-server environment.

Partner with cloud platform and implementation teams to ensure network design aligns with broader migration and modernisation timelines. Provide technical leadership on software-defined networking best practice, ensuring designs are scalable, secure, and future-proofed. Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and delivery stakeholders to embed the architecture into the wider transformation programme. Produce architecture documentation, standards, and design artefacts to guide implementation partners. What We're Looking For Proven experience as an NSX Architect or Senior Network Architect on enterprise-scale infrastructure or cloud transformation programmes. Deep hands-on expertise with VMware NSX, including micro-segmentation and software-defined networking design.

Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work across security, infrastructure, and delivery teams.
