We’ve partnered with a fast-growing technology leader at the forefront of cloud and IP solutions in the broadcast and media space.

The Opportunity:

As IT Manager, you’ll lead and deliver all aspects of internal IT — from infrastructure design and maintenance to security enforcement and user support. This role is fully onsite at their Bracknell HQ and offers real scope to shape and modernise systems while introducing best practice across the business.

You’ll work closely with the Finance & Operations team and the Technical Director, with responsibilities including:

• Leading the management and implementation of Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO27001 standards
• Overseeing network, firewall, and VPN configuration and support
• Managing inventory and procurement for laptops, mobiles, AV, printers, and VOIP
• Supporting the lab environment and internal server infrastructure (on-prem and cloud)
• Handling SharePoint Online, Active Directory/Entra, and Microsoft 365 administration
• Responding to internal IT support tickets and troubleshooting complex issues
• Delivering user onboarding and training, including infrastructure guidance for new starters
• Managing security audits, system patching, database administration (MySQL, MSSQL, Influx), and customer server builds

What You’ll Bring:

• Essential Skills & Experience:
• Proficient Linux server administration
• Firewall and VPN configuration and troubleshooting
• Strong network management experience (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs etc.)
• Experience with Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online
• Active Directory/Entra, Azure AD, and user access management
• Hands-on experience with systems administration, database support, and virtualisation platforms (e.g., VMWare ESX, Proxmox)
• Clear and proactive communicator with excellent interpersonal skills

Desirable:

• Firewall experience with Cisco ASA and Firepower
• Site-to-site VPN management
• Exposure to K3, backup solutions, and disaster recovery
• Experience implementing ISO and Cyber Essentials standards

Why Join?

You’ll be joining at a pivotal time in the company’s journey — with significant backing, a technically strong leadership team, and a genuine appetite to evolve and modernise systems and processes. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership, drive improvement, and play a key role in shaping the IT function within a scaling technology business.
