• Sector: Healthcare / Diagnostics Technology


• Role Type: Permanent, Full-Time

About My Client My client is a premier provider of pathology and diagnostic services, delivering vital clinical insights that support healthcare networks across the UK. To support a major digital transformation, they are building out a dedicated cloud delivery team to build and scale a brand-new, greenfield platform from the ground up.

They are looking for a Cloud Team Lead who bridges the gap between high-level Azure delivery and people leadership.

You will have full ownership of driving end-to-end delivery within a modern cloud ecosystem and shaping the team culture.

What You'll Do • Line Management & Mentorship: Take direct responsibility for line managing, coaching, and developing a talented team of cloud and platform engineers, fostering a high-performance culture.

• End-to-End Cloud Delivery: Own the entire product lifecycle of a brand-new, greenfield cloud product, steering it from initial architectural concepts through to live production.


• Cross-Team Collaboration: Act as the technical and delivery bridge for your team, actively negotiating endpoint contracts and integration boundaries with Tech Leads from other business domains.


• Cloud Operations & Governance: Oversee and optimise delivery within a modern, enterprise Microsoft cloud estate, ensuring robust security, identity management, and container orchestration.

What My Client Is Looking ForEssential Experience • Explicit Leadership: Proven experience in a dedicated Team Lead or Engineering Manager role, with direct line management responsibilities and a track record of driving delivery teams end-to-end.

• Greenfield Shipping: A proven history of successfully shipping a brand-new (greenfield) cloud product all the way into a live production environment.


• Microsoft Cloud Estate: Robust experience leading teams and running workloads within a Microsoft ecosystem, specifically utilising Azure, Entra, AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), and Azure DevOps.


• Contract Negotiation: Strong technical communication skills with specific experience negotiating endpoint and API contracts with external or adjacent technical teams.

Highly Desirable • Regulated Domains: Experience working within highly regulated sectors such as Medical, Pharma, or Finance is strongly preferred.

Why Apply? This is a rare opportunity to leave your thumbprint on a major greenfield cloud build that will directly impact the healthcare sector, offering a competitive salary of up to £80,000 depending on experience. You will get the autonomy to run your team your way, backed by the stability and resources of an established industry leader.
