Team Lead – Azure Cloud

Looking for your next challenge in cloud leadership? I’m hiring for a Team Lead – Azure Cloud to join a high-trust, high-impact environment right in the middle of a large-scale Azure transformation.

The setup? A solid team of six (mix of ops, infra, dev, DB, architecture), a business that’s highly regulated (so compliance is key), and a clear roadmap that needs someone to help steer the ship technically and culturally. If you’re equally at home writing infrastructure-as-code and mentoring engineers, this might be the one.

The Role:

It’s a 50/50 split between leadership and engineering, hands-on enough to stay sharp, strategic enough to shape the direction. You’ll be driving a multi-phase Azure migration, with a team that knows what they’re doing but needs someone to bring cohesion, clarity, and momentum.

The migration has already started and runs through to the end of Q3/Q4. It includes:

• Rehosting APIs into Azure-native services (already underway)
• Lifting and shifting workloads from on-prem
• Moving everything in-house on Azure, ending the current third-party cloud contract
• Building out a proper internal platform for dev tools, governance, and scalability

You’ll have space to own this and bring structure, but it’s not a greenfield environment—there are guardrails and audits, so you’ll need to be comfortable working with a bit less flexibility in tooling and process than a typical scale-up.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong technical leadership in Azure cloud environments
• Background in engineering (infra, ops, automation, IAC, etc.)
• Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy sectors (finance, health, insurance, etc.)
• Calm, clear communicator—able to align teams and stakeholders without the drama
• Comfortable in a hybrid setup (3 days in-office, 2 remote)
• Bonus: experience working with multinational teams

Monies:

• 💰 €7,000 – €8,000/month (€103K–€105K annually)
• 📅 Contract: 7 or 12 months (happy to advise on what works best)
• 🌍 Multinational team – no Dutch required, but being in NL is

If this one sounds like a good match, or close to it, drop me a message. Happy to share more about the team, roadmap, and setup.
