Responsibilities
Lead the technical response for large-scale government and enterprise tenders. Produce detailed Statements of Work (SoW) and accurate pricing models for Azure services, ensuring commercial viability.
Expertly navigate Azure licensing and tier pricing to provide accurate cost-benefit analysis for clients, clearly justifying why specific tiers and services (e.g., Premium vs Standard App Plans) are required.

Actively identify opportunities within client projects to harvest repeatable code or components. Influence the roadmap for Codec’s proprietary "Accelerator" library to drive future delivery efficiencies.

Work closely with customer teams to understand their needs and ensure the proposed solution aligns with their expectations and business processes.
Requirements
Proven experience writing detailed proposals, SoWs, and presenting technical vision to non-technical boards or senior stakeholders.
Deep understanding of Azure PaaS/Serverless architectures (Web Apps, Functions, Service Bus, Dataverse) and their associated costs.
Ability to "get your hands dirty" coding MVPs/PoCs (C#, .NET, Azure) when required.
Experience in productising services or identifying reusable IP in a consulting environment.
Excellent English language communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to commercial audiences.
Candidates must be currently located in Ireland or the UK with existing Right to Work approval.
