What You'll Be Doing
• Working closely with potential clients to understand their needs and shape effective solutions.
• Supporting commercial efforts, including scoping work and shaping pricing.
• Bringing your technical expertise to guide both clients and colleagues.
• Leading on delivery for client engagements - offering advice, designing solutions, and getting stuck into execution.

What We're Looking For
Someone with strong DevOps experience who's transitioned into architecture, wants to continue developing in that direction, and is still happy to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with DevOps when needed.

• Previous consultancy experience is helpful, but not essential.

What You'll Get
• The chance to work on varied, interesting projects.
• A flexible, supportive working environment in a recognised Sunday Times Best Places to Work organisation.
• A choice of where you work from based on our hybrid model that involves coming together to collaborate rather than a set number of days a week in our offices. (Note: this could change based on client expectations).
• Opportunities to shape and grow your role as the business grows.
• A team that values honesty, passion and partnership whilst working in your own way.
• A salary range of £55k - £70k with a competitive benefits package (see https://perform-partners.com/careers/benefits/ for more details).
