Applications Packager – Windows 11 / Intune / Active Directory
Gloucestershire (on-site requirement)
£500 per day
NPPV3 Clearance Required

A Gloucestershire-based public sector organisation is seeking an experienced Applications Packager to support the controlled release, testing and deployment of software across a secure enterprise environment.

This role sits within a highly regulated setting where governance, security compliance and structured release processes are critical. You will take ownership of packaging, validating and deploying applications aligned to defined Active Directory security groups and organisational access controls.

The Role

You will be responsible for:

• Packaging applications for a Windows 11 estate in line with enterprise standards
• Testing software releases to ensure stability, compatibility and compliance
• Deploying applications using Microsoft Intune within a secure, managed environment
• Managing releases based on assigned Active Directory security levels and group structures
• Ensuring appropriate documentation, version control and change governance
• Supporting troubleshooting and remediation of deployment issues

The environment demands a methodical, security-aware approach with a clear understanding of working within structured public sector change and release frameworks.

Essential Experience

• Extensive experience packaging applications within Windows 11 environments
• Strong hands-on expertise with Microsoft Intune for deployment and device/application management
• Deep understanding of Active Directory, including security groups and role-based access
• Experience operating within secure or compliance-driven environments
• Proven ability to manage testing, release and deployment cycles end-to-end

Security Requirement

Active NPPV3 clearance is essential. Candidates without current clearance cannot be considered.

The Opportunity

This is a contract opportunity within a Gloucestershire-based public sector organisation offering a day rate of £500 – £600, dependent on experience.

You will play a key role in ensuring secure, reliable software delivery across a sensitive operational estate where precision and governance matter.

Please apply at your earliest opportunity if you hold active NPPV3 clearance and bring strong Windows 11, Intune and Active Directory packaging expertise. 

I think they’ve historically leaned into senior Product Directors, but what they actually need is someone who sits slightly differently — more portfolio finance and investment discipline, rather than hands-on product ownership.

Civica are looking for someone to bring financial structure and investment discipline across their product estate. It’s less about owning a product roadmap and more about owning the portfolio view — building P&Ls, modelling ROI and payback, supporting M&A business cases, and creating governance frameworks so product investment decisions stand up commercially, particularly in a PE-backed environment.

How I’d Explain It to a Candidate (Clean, Confident Version)

This is an Enterprise Architect role working for Civica, aligned to a major long-term Army programme.
You’d sit within their Central Government architecture capability and effectively act as the senior EA helping shape technology roadmaps and architectural strategy for a secure Defence environment.

Then break it down:

What they’ll actually be doing

• Translating Army business strategy into technology roadmaps

• Owning enterprise-level “as-is / to-be” architecture views

• Setting architectural standards and governance

• Advising on security, data, and technology decisions

• Working across multiple programmes rather than one project

It’s less “hands-on solution design” and more:

Strategic, cross-portfolio architecture leadership in a secure government setting.

What Makes It Different

This isn’t a generic consultancy EA role.

It’s:

• Long-term Defence client (Army)

• Secure environment (SC)

• Enterprise-level thinking, not just domain architecture

• Strong governance and assurance focus

• Hybrid with Andover presence (so likely near Army HQ / defence estate)

How to Position the Level (Important)

This is SFIA Level 6 — so you can say:

It’s aimed at someone already operating at enterprise level — influencing senior stakeholders, setting architectural direction, and owning strategy rather than just contributing to it.

That avoids junior Solution Architects applying.

What Kind of Person This Suits

You can frame it like this:

It would suit someone currently operating as a Lead / Principal Architect in a regulated or secure environment who wants enterprise-level ownership and stakeholder influence.

Or:

• Existing Enterprise Architect

• Lead Domain Architect stepping up

• Principal Solution Architect with governance experience

What Candidates Will Ask (So Pre-Empt It)

They will ask:

1. Is it delivery or governance heavy?
   → It’s governance + roadmap + strategic alignment.

2. Is it greenfield or legacy?
   → Likely legacy modernisation within secure constraints.

3. Is it embedded with the client?
   → Yes — closely aligned with Army stakeholders.

4. How much travel?
   → Hybrid, regular Andover travel (clarify % if you can).

The 30-Second Recruiter Pitch

Here’s a tight version you can literally read:

It’s an Enterprise Architect role aligned to a major Army programme. You’d be responsible for shaping enterprise-wide technology roadmaps, ensuring architectural governance and security best practice, and advising senior stakeholders across business, data and technology domains. It’s strategic rather than hands-on build, operating at SFIA 6 level in a secure Central Government environment.

That sounds informed and avoids waffle.
