That includes our own cloud governance platform (Intwo Cloud Insight) and new agent-based AIOps and SRE-led services. What makes this role different: Your work does not stop at an advisory report. You design the solution, prove it with the customer, and stay close as it is built, so you see your decisions hold up in production and feed what you learn back into the next engagement. You design, and a strong delivery team builds. That loop, together with the freedom to shape the offers themselves, is what sets this role apart from a pure design or pure presales seat. What you’ll do: Shape and win the work Join sales from the first conversation: qualify opportunities, uncover the real business drivers and decide what’s worth pursuing Lead discovery workshops and cloud health checks as a trusted advisor to customer decision-makers Own the technical proposal, business case and scope, and build and run proofs of concept Design the solution Design target architectures and landing zones based on the Well-Architected and Cloud Adoption Frameworks, including hybrid scenarios with Azure Arc Build the platform foundations that data, analytics and AI workloads run on: identity, networking, security and Azure AI enablement Bake security, governance and FinOps into every design from day one, with NIS2 and ISO 27001 in mind Build the practice Turn capabilities and lessons learned into repeatable, clearly scoped offers Help define our approach to AI-readiness and agent-based, SRE-led operations Act as a technical authority and mentor, raising the design bar across the team What you bring: 8+ years of experience in Azure architecture and 5+ years in a pre-sales or solution-selling role Senior Azure depth: landing zone design, migration, governance, and strong command of the services behind modern data, analytics and AI workloads Commercial fluency and presence: you’re as comfortable building a business case and advising a decision-maker as you are drawing an architecture A builder’s instinct: you’ve productised or scaled services in a growing practice, and you create structure where little exists A view on where the frontier is heading: agentic AI, and how to design SRE-based and AIOps services such as observability, automation and reliability engineering A collaborative, low-ego style: you own the end-to-end architecture while working well with specialist teams Professional working proficiency in Dutch and English Nice to have: AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect Expert). If you don’t have it yet, we’ll support you in getting there. Why Intwo? High ownership and autonomy: real influence over the technical direction, the growing Azure portfolio, and the shape of our offers. The chance to help build new capabilities, from our own Azure IP to agent-based AIOps and SRE-led services. Access to Microsoft co-sell, resources and roadmap insight through our close Microsoft partnership.
