We are seeking a senior Azure DevOps (ADO) Platform & Solutions Administrator to assess, advise on, and help evolve how Azure DevOps is configured and used across the enterprise, starting with one of our premier programs.
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.

Automation & Integration Guidance

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