Role: Head of Cloud (Azure) Reports To: Liam Bennett, Director of Technology Contract Type: Full Time, permanent Location: Richmond UK, Hybrid About the role: A senior leadership role owning the strategy, reliability, and evolution of our entire Azure estate — infrastructure, networking, cloud security, budget management, and platform engineering. You'll report to the Director of Technology, manage a team of Cloud Engineers, and own the platform underpinning our consumer-facing products, data platform, and internal tooling. The estate runs a hub-and-spoke landing zone, AKS-hosted microservices, event-driven architectures, and a growing Databricks data platform, and we're migrating off a legacy VM estate toward cloud-native services. You'll balance perfection against expediency to meet business needs, embedding yourself across technology, product, and commercial — setting expectations, building trust, and striking the right balance between short- and long-term goals. Note from Liam Bennett, Director of Technology: The automotive classifieds market has stagnated — prices keep rising, innovation has slowed, and the consumer experience hasn't evolved in over a decade. Dealers want alternatives and consumers deserve better. We acquired Cazoo in 2024 for one reason: brand. Cazoo spent £100M+ building 60% consumer awareness and genuine trust, and that brand equity is irreplaceable. But we didn't buy it to repeat old mistakes — we rebuilt from scratch: new tech stack, new business model, new approach. Since relaunching in May 2025 we've seen early traction. Now we need a Head of Cloud to ensure our platform is secure, resilient, and ready to scale. Our Azure estate is the backbone of everything — a modern hub-and-spoke landing zone, AKS-hosted microservices, event-driven architectures, and a growing Databricks data platform. We're migrating off a legacy VM estate toward cloud-native services, and we need a leader who can drive that transformation while keeping production rock-solid. If you've led cloud teams through significant modernisation programmes, built secure and scalable Azure platforms, and can turn infrastructure into a competitive advantage, this is the most impactful cloud leadership role in UK automotive. What we ideally looking for; Strategy & Leadership: Define and own a 3–5 year cloud strategy for Cazoo across infrastructure, networking, security, and platform engineering. Drive migration from the legacy VM estate to a cloud-native platform (AKS, Azure Functions, managed services). Design and maintain the Azure Landing Zone — hub-and-spoke topology, subscription management, and governance policies. Partner with Product, Commercial, and Engineering leadership so cloud accelerates business outcomes; represent Cloud & Security on the Technology Management Team, shaping strategy, culture, and ways of working. Manage cloud budgets, drive FinOps, and oversee third-party vendor relationships. Drive adoption of AI-assisted engineering, automation, and self-service platform capabilities that improve developer productivity and operational efficiency. Platform & Infrastructure: Deep expertise designing and operating secure Azure networking architectures, incl
