• Lead and support cloud migration initiatives, ensuring smooth adoption of new systems and ways of working with strong experience in project management skills
• Act as a key stakeholder partner, building strong relationships across the business to ensure IT changes are understood, adopted, and embedded
• Strengthen cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management to protect business operations
• Develop and maintain IT documentation, processes, and reporting to continuously improve service delivery

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary: depending on experience
• Annual bonus scheme linked to performance
• Holidays: 25 days plus bank holidays, with the option to buy/sell additional days
• Wellbeing benefits: Optical/healthcare support with cashback options
• Monthly product allowance: to spend in our Beer Hall or shop
• Pension: Employer contributions up to 5%

• Proven track record leading IT operations or support teams.
• A degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or similar would be desirable
