Active Directory Architect – 3-month contract

My customer is seeking a highly skilled Senior Active Directory Architect to lead the transformation and modernisation of their Active Directory (AD) environment, ensuring it aligns with their business goals and security requirements.

The Active Directory Architect would work alongside the existing Technical Engineers to continue the delivery of a wider AD remediation project. The Architect will be responsible for documenting the current environment and then designing a solution to create a new OU/Group Policy structure. Everything needs to be well documented and allocated to 1 of 2 more hands on Engineers to implement and must be designed with Tier Security in mind.

Primary day to day responsibilities for the Active Directory Architect will include:

  • AD Design & Modernisation: Develop both high-level and detailed designs to enhance our Active Directory OU structure, with a strong focus on cloud modernisation, business segmentation, and defining business-centric processes for asset management.
  • Migration Planning: Define and manage migration paths to implement new AD designs, ensuring minimal disruption to existing services.
  • Security Review & Enhancement: Review privileged access paths and AD delegation to ensure secure control over lateral movement and privilege elevation within the environment.
  • Group Policy Management: Assess existing Group Policy deployments, delivering updates to simplify, harden, and optimise controls according to best practices and emerging vulnerabilities.
  • Operational Risk Management: Lead efforts to improve the health and hygiene of Active Directory domains, addressing critical platform obsolescence through DFL/FFL upgrades
  • IAM Modernisation: Support the strategic vision to modernise Identity and Access Management (IAM) within the business.
  • Subject Matter Expertise: Serve as the go-to expert for all aspects of Active Directory, including both on-premises AD and Entra ID, guiding the design, implementation, and maintenance of the infrastructure.
  • Documentation & Compliance: Produce detailed documentation of the existing AD environment, including forest structure, trust relationships, sites, services, configurations, and procedures.

The Active Directory Architect would be predominantly remote but will require ad hoc travel to London for meetings and workshops with the team.
