• Pre-Sales Support: Assist commercial teams when required by scoping new opportunities and providing product demonstrations.

• Proven track record delivering complex infrastructure and Software-Defined Data Centre (SDDC) engagements within technical consultancy or senior enterprise delivery environments, managing projects from initial discovery and design through to implementation and completion.
• Strong hands-on expertise in the design, deployment, configuration, and optimisation of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), VMware vSphere, and core SDDC infrastructure technologies.
• Practical experience implementing, configuring, and supporting VMware Aria Operations (vRealize Operations) for performance monitoring, capacity management, and operational visibility.
• Deep understanding of infrastructure architecture, enterprise platforms, virtualisation, and datacentre transformation programmes.
• Experience performing lifecycle management activities across VMware environments, including platform upgrades, patching, certificate replacement, credential rotation, and operational maintenance of VCF estates.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with technical teams, project stakeholders, and senior leadership while producing clear, high-quality technical documentation and solution designs.
• Knowledge of the wider VMware ecosystem, including:
• Networking & Security: VMware NSX, Avi Advanced Load Balancer (Avi Networks), and VMware Advanced Network & Security Services.
• Resilience & Disaster Recovery: VMware HCX, VMware Live Recovery, Site Recovery Manager (SRM), and vSphere Replication.
• Cloud & Modern Applications: vSphere with Tanzu, VMware Cloud Director (vCD), and Private AI with NVIDIA.
• Experience supporting hybrid cloud, migration, modernisation, and business continuity initiatives within enterprise-scale environments.
• Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and technical leadership capabilities across complex virtualised infrastructure platforms.

Requirements

• Primary location is our HQ in Pocklington (YO42) but this role can be remote with occasional visits to the HQ and to customers.
• Following a screen with the Recruitment Team you can expect a two-stage interview process, one online and one in-person.
• As part of our recruitment process due to the nature of the work we do, all employees are required to undertake a Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS) check. While some employees require further security clearance, the BPSS check is a must-have requirement and all offers of employment are conditional pending the passing of this check.

Benefits

• A culture built on trust and belonging, set out clearly in our Culture Blueprint, lived day-to-day, and reflected in our consistently strong colleague feedback.
• Real investment in your development: structured learning pathways, funded industry certifications, mentoring, and the encouragement to stretch into new areas.
• A workplace that takes wellbeing seriously: from mental health support and flexible working to active employee networks and a leadership team that listens.
• A commitment to equity and inclusion: where we actively work to make Phoenix a brilliant place to build a career, whoever you are.
• Work that matters: supporting the public sector organisations that keep the UK running, from government and healthcare to defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charities serving the most vulnerable in our communities.
• Working with the best of the industry: alongside genuine experts, and with strategic partnerships across the world's leading technology providers, you'll be at the front of the conversations shaping how UK public services modernise.
