Senior / Lead Azure Cloud Architect

We are looking for more than just technical expertise — we’re seeking a driven, self-motivated leader who brings passion, ownership, and a proactive mindset to everything they do. As a Senior / Lead Azure Cloud Architect, you will not only shape cutting-edge cloud solutions, but also inspire teams and clients alike with your energy, attitude, and ability to turn challenges into progress.This is a role for someone who thrives on accountability, takes initiative without waiting to be asked, and leads with a combination of confidence and humility. You’ll be at the forefront of our Azure practice, guiding customers through transformation journeys and building high-trust relationships that last.
What You'll Do:

• Lead by example in driving Azure architecture, strategy, and implementation across client engagements.
• Take ownership of technical vision and delivery — you don’t just execute, you drive.
• Work closely with customers to understand their needs, anticipate challenges, and craft practical, forward-looking solutions.
• Motivate and mentor a small to medium-sized team, fostering a high-performance, high-accountability culture.
• Act as a change agent — challenging the status quo, encouraging innovation, and pushing for excellence in everything you touch.
• Host design sessions, architecture reviews, and workshops, confidently communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Stay ahead of Azure developments and be a champion for continuous improvement — for yourself, your team, and your customers.

What You Bring:

• Relentless drive and initiative — you don’t wait for problems to come to you; you go out and solve them.
• 8+ years in IT, with at least 5 years focused on Azure cloud architecture and delivery.
• Experience leading or mentoring small-to-medium engineering teams.
• Strong customer-facing presence; you can confidently engage, challenge, and align diverse stakeholders.
• Deep knowledge of Azure core services, infrastructure as code, DevOps practices, and security patterns.
• A growth mindset — you’re always learning, always improving, and you bring others along with you.
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and collaboration skills.
• Microsoft certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect Expert) are a plus.

Who You Are:

• A natural leader who lifts others up and leads from the front.
• Self-aware, self-driven, and unapologetically passionate about technology and people.
• Not afraid of the unknown — you thrive in ambiguity and see it as an opportunity to lead.
• You show up with a can-do attitude, a bias for action, and the resilience to move projects forward no matter what.
• You take pride in your work, but more importantly, you take responsibility.

What do we offer in return?

• Flexible working hours and remote working model
• Company laptop and needed equipment
• Local package such as six weeks of vacation, a pension package, private health care through EuroAccident, wellness benefits (Friskvårdsbidrag), and you can also pick more benefits from benify.se
