More:
We are seeking a Head of IT for our brand-new global role based in Manchester. This position requires strong operational IT experience across various areas, particularly in IT infrastructure and cloud-based applications in AWS. This role is very much hands-on and focuses on daily operational tasks, rather than strategic planning, so a solid foundational knowledge of AWS, Cisco, and the Microsoft stack is essential.
Our ideal candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with our Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and support the execution of our signed IT strategy on a global scale. The successful candidate will lead a team of 10 IT specialists in the UK while also managing global IT experts across regions including America, Australia, Asia, and Europe. The role is based in our central Manchester office, and we expect the successful candidate to be on-site most of the time.
We are offering a competitive starting salary between £65,000 - £75,000 along with excellent benefits. If you are interested in joining our dynamic team, please submit your CV for consideration.
