• Collaborate with managed service providers (MSPs) and vendors to maintain high service levels and ensure systems meet agreed performance and security standards.
• Manage escalations from the Service Desk, providing advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
• Support the planning and delivery of infrastructure and security projects, ensuring alignment with business requirements, budgets, and timelines.
• Proactively monitor system performance, capacity, and security posture; identify and implement improvements.
• Maintain and update infrastructure documentation, standards, and operating procedures.
• Participate in security and risk management activities, including maintaining risk registers, patch management, and vulnerability remediation.
• Work with stakeholders across IT and the business to ensure successful service transitions into BAU support.
• Support supplier selection and tender processes where required.
• Provide out-of-hours support on a rota basis for critical system incidents.
• Travel for on-site hardware support as required.
