• Security and compliance: Help maintain access permissions, support policy implementation (e.g. Intune), and ensure cloud-based services adhere to technical and security standards.
• Infrastructure monitoring: Support monitoring of both cloud and remaining legacy infrastructure, contributing to performance checks, availability tracking, and troubleshooting.
• Collaboration and delivery: Work closely with the Security and Cloud Lead, the wider IT team, and third-party providers to deliver projects and support the ongoing evolution of our technology landscape.
• Documentation and support: Maintain clear and accurate technical documentation and provide hands‑on assistance to internal teams for cloud-related services and change activities.

Qualifications and Desired Skills

• Awareness or working knowledge of access management, device management tools (such as Intune), and cloud governance principles.
• Interest in or exposure to cloud-based file sharing and collaboration tools such as SharePoint and Azure Blob Storage.
• A logical thinker with strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn through hands‑on experience.
• Basic knowledge of bespoke business systems or databases hosted in the cloud is an advantage.
• Familiarity with Windows and/or Mac systems and cloud-connected devices.
• A team player who communicates clearly and works well with internal and external stakeholders.
• Experience or interest in the retail, hospitality, or QSR (quick‑service restaurant) sector would be beneficial.
• A proactive, self‑motivated individual with a passion for technology and customer service.
• Eager to grow and develop a career in cloud infrastructure and IT operation.
