Contract: Inside IR35 Day rate contract or 6 month fixed term contract
Platform Manager with expertise in the MS tech stack is sought by leading global investment banking group. This role will act as the Business Applications Manager and main point of contact between IT and the business areas it supports. This is a business-facing role first: you’ll own the relationship, understand what each area needs, and make sure the applications they rely on are supported, improved and well run.
What you’ll be doing
- Acting as the go-to IT contact for your business areas, building strong working relationships with users and senior stakeholders
- Gathering requirements, agreeing priorities and managing expectations so the business knows what’s coming and when
- Owning a portfolio of business applications through their full lifecycle: support, changes, upgrades, testing and retirement
- Working with vendors and suppliers on service, roadmaps, issues and renewals
- Managing application licensing, including annual licence reporting
- Stepping into business analyst or project manager duties on projects when needed
- Looking after the Microsoft 365 side of the estate, including SharePoint, Teams and Power Platform, and helping the business get more value from it
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience as a BRM, application owner, business applications specialist or similar business-facing IT role
- A track record of owning and supporting line-of-business applications, not only Microsoft tools
- Confidence working with senior, non-technical stakeholders and turning what they ask for into clear, workable plans
- Hands-on experience with vendor management and licensing
- Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Power Platform
- Business analysis or project delivery experience
- Financial services or another regulated environment is a plus, not essential
