•  The role focuses on understanding the current-state implementation, identifying risks and improvement opportunities, and providing clear, pragmatic recommendations. Once decisions are approved, the role supports execution through configuration changes, selective automation, integrations, and change management communication. 
•  This is a hands-on role. The individual is expected to apply sound judgment and provide defensible options rather than defaulting to tool or feature implementation.

Scenario-Based Solutioning 

• Provide expert guidance on real-world ADO scenarios 
• Help avoid decisions that create long-term platform debt  

Change Management & Knowledge Transfer 

• Support communication and adoption of approved changes 
• Enable sustainable ownership post-contract 

What We Value Most in This Role 

• Judgment over tool enthusiasm 
• Simplicity over over-engineering 
• Willingness to recommend, not enabling features 
• Focus on long-term maintainability and clarity 

Required Skills & Experience 

Azure DevOps Platform Expertise 

• Deep, hands-on experience administering Azure DevOps as a platform 
• Strong understanding of how configuration impacts planning, delivery, and reporting 
• Experience enforcing consistency through workflows, automation, validation, and templates

• Strong communication and documentation skills 

What Success Looks Like

• Intentional, documented platform decisions
