  • Windows 11 Enterprise Delivery : Proven at-scale delivery through AVD.
  • Image Management & Automation : Skilled in automation for image creation and deployment (Nerdio a plus).
  • End-to-End Delivery : Track record of 10+ month enterprise projects vs. short sprints.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Nerdio Management Suite experience
  • Citrix migration background
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
  • Enterprise monitoring with Azure-native tools
  • Disaster recovery planning and enterprise architecture experience
  • Certifications (Highly Valued)

  • Azure : AZ-140 (most relevant), AZ-305, AZ-104, AZ-801, AZ-303 / AZ-304 (legacy)
  • Microsoft 365 Certified : Modern Desktop Administrator Associate
  • Citrix CCP-V or CCE-V
  • Key Responsibilities

    Strategic Leadership

  • Define and execute the global AVD deployment strategy
  • Provide modernization and optimization thought leadership
  • Develop reference architectures and blue / green deployment processes
  • Technical Architecture & Implementation

  • Design and implement image automation workflows
  • Deploy Infrastructure as Code solutions (Terraform, Ansible)
  • Establish enterprise-grade monitoring, alerting, and DR strategies
  • Advanced Support & Optimization

  • Provide Level 2 / 3 support for complex performance issues
  • Optimize AVD for scale, efficiency, and global performance
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Broad experience across multiple client environments and industries
  • Skilled at balancing executive-level strategy with technical execution
  • Comfortable presenting to C-suite and troubleshooting at the engineering level
  • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • TSG is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
