Are you a VMware NSX Architect ready to lead network and security design on a large-scale enterprise infrastructure transformation? Our client is undertaking a major multi-year modernisation programme, migrating thousands of servers onto a new cloud platform, and needs an experienced architect to design the software-defined networking and micro-segmentation foundations before the migration wave begins in earnest.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the target-state network architecture for an enterprise-scale environment from the ground up, working at the intersection of cloud platform strategy, security, and infrastructure modernisation.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and lead the implementation of VMware NSX architecture across a large-scale, multi-thousand-server environment.
  • Define micro-segmentation, security zoning, and connectivity patterns to underpin a modern, resilient cloud platform.
  • Partner with cloud platform and implementation teams to ensure network design aligns with broader migration and modernisation timelines.
  • Provide technical leadership on software-defined networking best practice, ensuring designs are scalable, secure, and future-proofed.
  • Collaborate with security, infrastructure, and delivery stakeholders to embed the architecture into the wider transformation programme.
  • Produce architecture documentation, standards, and design artefacts to guide implementation partners.
What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience as an NSX Architect or Senior Network Architect on enterprise-scale infrastructure or cloud transformation programmes.
  • Deep hands-on expertise with VMware NSX, including micro-segmentation and software-defined networking design.
  • Track record designing network architecture for large, complex, multi-site or multi-thousand-server environments.
  • Strong understanding of cloud platform migration and modernisation programmes (public and private cloud).
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work across security, infrastructure, and delivery teams.
  • Experience in regulated or high-governance environments (advantageous).
