We’re partnering with a university that is going through an exciting period in their digital journey. We're hiring an Enterprise Systems Manager in a player‑coach role for someone who wants to lead a team, shape systems, and stay close to the technical detail.

- You’ll take ownership of business‑critical integrations and live production systems, shaping how they evolve and improve.

- And importantly, there’s a clear progression path into senior leadership, giving you room to grow beyond the role.
Qualifications
- A background in .NET / C# and Azure environments
- Experience working with APIs, integrations, or complex systems
- Exposure to live/production environments or application support
