They are looking for someone who has both hands‑on capabilities, as well as a strategic mindset and excellent stakeholder communication.

Although the bulk of the work within will be carried out by trusted MSP partners, you should be hands‑on enough to be able to course correct and provide clear instruction. The ability to carry out the work yourself is important when guiding others on decisions and configurations.

You will need to carry out some high level, hands‑on support when needed.

This is a hands‑on IT Manager role, needed to support the continued growth as well as the integration of businesses that have been acquired.

You'll be the technical guru within the business covering a wide range of responsibilities.

You will have no direct reports, you will be managing the delivery from third‑party, and vendors.

The ideal candidate will have come from a large company, with experience influencing others, engaging internal and external stakeholders, working alongside MSP support, and vendors, whilst keeping your skills up to date in a hands‑on capacity.

You will be visiting multiple sites across various locations and can expect to travel on average 3 days per week to either your base location office, or other site locations.

Responsibilities

• Architectural Decision Making - Design, Oversee, and implement the Technology roadmap
• Hands on delivery when needed
• Oversight of Cyber Security delivery
• Stakeholder Management
• Project Delivery - working closely with IT project managers
• Vendor and 3p Management
• Introduction and oversight of Governance, Risk and Compliance

Experience required

• Microsoft 365
• Experience with on prem to cloud migration
• Organisational transformation experience - e.g. new systems implementation, integration of systems, optimisation of data
• Vendor management
• Stakeholder Management - internal and external
• Driver's licence is required

Desirable experience

• Experience with work management software such as JobLogic, Jobber, SimPRO or similar – implementation, enhancement, and rollout
