IT Manager

We're looking for an IT Manager to own the day-to-day IT that keeps the company running smoothly and securely as we grow. This covers our people's devices, the office network, the tools everyone uses, and the support they rely on. It's a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving practical problems and making everyday IT work well, reporting into the CIO and based in London.

A big part of the job is security in a practical, operational sense. You'll keep devices patched and well configured, control who has access to what, bring order to the software and accounts that build up as a company grows, and make joining and leaving smooth and secure. You'll operate the controls and standards that the security team sets, and you'll be the person who makes them real in day-to-day work.

You'll work across the whole company, so you'll need to balance keeping people productive with keeping them secure, and be comfortable being the go-to person for anything IT.
