If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

LET’S TELL YOU MORE

In this newly created role, working as the Technology Capacity and Monitoring Analyst will see you support the management and optimisation of all our monitoring systems and management tools across the IT estate. This will see you focus on the operational upkeep (“feeding and watering”) of monitoring platforms, ensuring accurate alerts, maintaining data quality, and producing clear, actionable reports for engineers and managers.

You will contribute to capacity forecasting and technical debt reporting, working closely with the Tech Ops Capacity and Monitoring Manager to ensure the IT estate is proactively monitored and managed. This role offers excellent exposure to modern IT Operations tools and practices, providing a pathway to develop into a senior specialist or management role.

In this role, you’ll be at the heart of keeping our monitoring systems reliable and insightful. You’ll take ownership of maintaining and configuring tools, ensuring alerts and dashboards are accurate and actionable. Your ability to turn data into meaningful reports and dynamic dashboards using Power BI will help drive smarter decisions across the business. You’ll forecast capacity needs, spot risks, and support the rollout of new platforms, all while collaborating with infrastructure, application, and operations teams. If you’re passionate about problem-solving, improving performance, and sharing knowledge through clear documentation, this is your chance to make a real impact.

That’s why, we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you'll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

To succeed in this role we’ll be looking for you to have practical knowledge of monitoring platforms and management tools as well as a familiarity with Azure Monitoring and SCOM (System Center Operations Manager). Strong skills in reporting and dashboarding tools, particularly Power BI will definitely be useful as will an Understanding of capacity management principles and reporting.

We’d love you to have an ability to analyse and present data clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, while being able to bring enthusiasm for learning and supporting enterprise-scale monitoring solutions will take you a long way.

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
