WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN AZURE SOLUTIONS LEADER BASED IN AUCKLAND NOT JUST A JOURNEYMAN!!

A leading NZ company is looking for an experienced client facing Azure Consultant to join their company on a permanent basis.

It is essential that you have fluent and precise communication skills both verbal and written.

Senior Azure Data Consultant

My NZ clients look for team members with the grit necessary to forge paths where none previously exist, to get back up when circumstances knock you down, adapt to the changing needs of the client even when it is uncomfortable, and to deliver on our commitments.

You respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than your own predispositions.

You understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients.

You are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than you were yesterday.

What You Will Do

My Consulting client is actively seeking a Senior Azure Data Engineer who is an expert in the field and a powerhouse on the keyboard.

In this role, you will partner with clients, taking them from “napkin to production.” You will listen to their challenges with empathy while using your unique problem-solving skills to discover the right approach and deliver value throughout the engagement.
