Infrastructure Manager

Infrastructure Manager

Do you want to take ownership of a growing, evolving technology estate at a pivotal point in its journey?

This is a role with real substance. The foundations are in place, but there’s a clear opportunity to shape, mature and lead across infrastructure, cloud migration, security, and supplier management.

The Opportunity

You’ll be stepping into an established team to provide technical guidance and leadership.

Alongside leading a small team of engineers, you’ll play a key role in:

  • Strengthening current technology environment and making better use of existing tooling
  • Bringing structure to infrastructure and starting migration towards cloud operations
  • Improving resilience, documentation, and disaster recovery capability
  • Working with the Head of Operations to take back control from suppliers and ensuring quality service and better value for money
  • Contributing to cloud and platform strategy (Azure-focused)

The environment has a need for someone who can simplify, stabilise, and modernise.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading day-to-day infrastructure and platform operations (Azure, M365)
  • Managing and developing a team of 3 engineers - bringing structure, coaching, and accountability to bring the skills inline with modern technology we are moving towards
  • Owning operational security (patching, vulnerabilities, access controls, audits) alongside support from an external SOC
  • Driving improvements in monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery
  • Working closely with external suppliers
  • Supporting cloud journey decisions with technical knowledge
  • Bringing greater visibility, documentation, and operational discipline

This is a hands-on role, so you’ll need to be comfortable being close to the tech while also stepping up as a leader.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong infrastructure background with exposure to on-premise, Azure, Microsoft and O365 stack
  • Experience leading or mentoring engineers in a hands-on environment
  • A people-focused leader who can bring a team with them
  • Solid understanding of security fundamentals in an operational setting
  • Experience working in B2C multi-site environments
  • Exposure to Azure services Logic Apps / Data Factory, or low/no-code tooling (desirable)

This role is part of an on-call rota which is currently 1 in 10 for P1 incidents*

*This rota may be subject to change frequency given seniority.
