Job description

IT Manager - Magento 2 | £60K | 5 Days Onsite Greater Manchester

I'm working with an extremely down-to-earth, well-established company that specialises in wholesale distribution.

We're on the lookout for a confident, capable IT Manager to join their team-someone who can lead, deliver, and keep things running like clockwork.

You'll be the go-to person for all things tech: owning their systems, infrastructure, and websites, while leading a hybrid team of internal staff and outsourced partners.

This role is perfect for an IT Manager who thrives in hands-on environments, someone who can balance strategic thinking with rolling up their sleeves for the day-to-day challenges.

Responsibilities

• Leading and managing a team of internal IT staff, plus coordinating with an outsourced development team.
• Overseeing major digital projects, including a website migration and an upcoming data transformation initiative.
• Managing the health, security, and development of our Magento 2 ecommerce platform. (Magento experience is a MUST)
• Keeping our internal infrastructure secure, modern, and reliable, with a strong focus on cybersecurity and compliance (ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.).
• Providing hands-on support and high-level guidance on everything from ERP systems (ideally you will have exposure to Sage 200) to futureproofing our IT strategy.
• Leading with a project-first mindset, ensuring key deliverables are completed on time, while empowering your team.

What We're Looking For

Solid experience in a similar IT leadership role (ideally 3+ years).
Strong background in development with knowledge of infrastructure and systems.
Magento 2 experience is a must-have.
ERP experience-Sage 200, SAP, Oracle, or similar.
Confident people manager and project leader-you'll be overseeing multiple moving parts.
Good understanding of cybersecurity best practices and governance frameworks.
Great communication skills-you'll be working closely with various teams, suppliers, and stakeholders.

Overview:

• Salary up to £60,000.
• A key leadership role within a well-established business.
• Full ownership of digital transformation and IT strategy.
• A close-knit, collaborative team environment with real influence and visibility.
• A chance to make a genuine impact on how they work and grow.

Location

This is a full-time, permanent role based onsite in Greater Manchester (Monday to Friday).

If you're a hands-on IT Manager with a sharp eye for strategy and a passion for delivering projects, I would love to hear from you.
