Client Technology Director - Microsoft Infrastructure & Cloud
Sydney | Hybrid | Circa $180K + super + performance incentives

You probably don't need another Solution Architect or Principal Consultant role.
But if you're a senior technologist in an MSP or systems integrator, you might want more ownership, more influence with customers, less focus on billable hours - and the opportunity to become the trusted technology authority rather than just deliver another project.

That's the opportunity here.

All the interesting action in IT is happening in the mid-market. Speed, agility and the ability to actually get things done matter.
This established Microsoft technology provider has a premium customer base, consistent year-on-year growth and the technical capability to recommend the strategy - then actually deliver it. Founder-led, profitable and focused.

Move from technical expert to strategic authority
You've probably spent years being brought in for the difficult technical decisions. Here, you'll have a broader mandate.
You'll work directly with IT Managers, CIOs, CEOs and senior executives, helping customers determine where their technology needs to go over the next 12-36 months.
You'll own the roadmap - connecting business priorities, infrastructure, risk, lifecycle and budget into technology investments customers understand and will fund.

Stay technical - without living on the utilisation clock
This isn't another billable Solution Architect role.
There's no ticket queue and no utilisation target. You're measured by the quality of your judgement, the trust you build and your ability to turn technology strategy into real outcomes.
You'll remain close enough to delivery to see your recommendations become reality,



without becoming the project delivery owner.

Work across serious Microsoft infrastructure environments
The environment spans Datacenter, Network, Azure, Microsoft 365, security, cloud, endpoint and infrastructure lifecycle.

You don't need to be the deepest hands-on specialist in every technology. You do need the architectural judgement and breadth to assess an workplace, challenge an approach and know when specialist depth is required.
Mid-market means more influence
In a large consultancy or global SI, even very senior architects can become one specialist inside a much bigger account structure. Here, you'll have direct access to customers, senior technical leaders and company leadership, with the autonomy to make decisions, shape client strategy and influence how the business works with its most important customers.

Who will this appeal to?
Someone already succeeding as a Solution Architect, Principal Consultant, Senior Technical Consultant or senior technology advisor within an MSP, systems integrator or IT services business.
You've got strong infrastructure foundations, architect-level Microsoft knowledge and the executive presence to move comfortably from a technical workshop into a C-suite strategy conversation.
Most importantly, you're ready for your technical credibility to drive strategy rather than just billable delivery.
Circa $180K + super + performance incentives. Australian Citizen/PR preferred, with NV1/NV2 advantageous but not mandatory.

You don't need to be actively looking. If you're doing well where you are but want more strategic ownership, executive influence and less delivery bureaucracy, let's have a confidential conversation.
