IT Manager
+ BenefitsLondon, EnglandPermanentIT Manager LondonWe're exclusively supporting a highly respected London based organisation in the search for a hands on IT Manager to lead their internal technology function.
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit in meetings all day. It's for an IT Manager who enjoys leading people, owning technology operations and remaining technically involved across a modern Microsoft environment. You'll manage a small team, take ownership, lead critical technology projects and act as the senior technical escalation point across the business.
If you're someone who still enjoys getting into Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune or Defender whilst leading a team and driving improvements, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.
