Senior IT Manager (Permanent)

Location : London – 2 days a week in the office Salary : £75,000 – Fixed term contract with potential for perm. You’ll be stepping into a business mid-transformation—cloud migration, AI integration, ripping out legacy systems, the works. The roadmap’s drafted, the projects are live, and they need someone who knows how to get things delivered without needing their hand held. This is maternity cover, but it’s not a holding role—you’ll have your hands full keeping big projects moving while helping reset the longer-term IT direction. Priorities will shift. Projects will evolve. There’s no one sitting behind you steering, you’ll be expected to keep delivery on track while balancing business demands and regulatory pressures. If you’re looking for a neat, predictable IT environment, this isn’t it. Someone who\’s led big IT projects—cloud migration, platform rollouts, system integrations. Experience juggling budgets, suppliers, risk logs, and change controls without losing sight of delivery. Keep cloud migration and transformation projects alive and moving. Handle governance, reporting, risk tracking, and stakeholder updates without turning it into a drama. Work closely with senior leadership to keep the IT roadmap realistic and aligned. If you’ve been around long enough to know that no project ever goes exactly to plan — you’ll probably fit right in.
