Data Solutions Architect – Microsoft Purview / Azure
Employment: Permanent, Full-Time
YourCode Recruitment is recruiting an experienced Data Solutions Architect for an established IT Managed Service Provider (MSP) based in Leeds.
This is a hands-on, client-facing role combining Microsoft Purview, Azure Data Architecture, technical consultancy, pre-sales and project delivery.
You’ll work with a varied portfolio of customers, helping them design, implement and improve their Microsoft data environments, with particular emphasis on data governance, security and Microsoft Purview.
Unlike a purely strategic architecture position, this role offers genuine ownership of customer projects, from initial discovery and technical scoping through to hands-on implementation and delivery.
The role is approximately 70% customer project delivery and 30% pre-sales, technical scoping and consultancy.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and deliver Microsoft Purview and Azure data solutions for customers.
- Lead technical discovery sessions, customer workshops and requirements gathering.
- Scope projects, recommend solutions and produce technical designs.
- Take ownership of projects from initial scoping through to successful delivery.
- Implement Microsoft Purview solutions across data governance, classification, cataloguing and lineage.
- Work directly with customers, remotely and on-site, to deliver scoped technical work.
- Support pre-sales discussions, technical proposals and solution recommendations.
- Collaborate with internal engineering and delivery teams.
- Advise customers on Microsoft cloud technologies, data governance and information security.
- Build strong customer relationships and act as a trusted technical consultant.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience as a Solutions Architect, Data Architect, Azure Architect or Technical Consultant.
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Purview.
- Good knowledge of Microsoft Azure and cloud data architecture.
- Experience designing, scoping and delivering technical projects for external customers.
- Understanding of data governance, classification, metadata and data lineage.
- Strong customer-facing communication and consultancy skills.
- Ability to combine solution design with hands-on technical implementation.
- Comfortable participating in pre-sales, scoping calls and technical workshops.
Highly Desirable:
- Previous MSP, Microsoft Partner or IT consultancy experience.
- Knowledge of Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake or Azure SQL.
- Experience with Microsoft Purview Information Protection, DLP or sensitivity labels.
What’s on Offer?
- Hybrid working from a Leeds-based office.
- A varied mix of customer projects and technical challenges.
- Approximately 70% project delivery and 30% pre-sales/scoping.
- Genuine ownership of customer solutions from design through to delivery.
- Opportunities for career progression and professional development.
