We're working with a growing, Apple-first Managed Service Provider on a newly created senior technical role. This isn't a service-desk management job - it's a hands-on, senior individual contributor position for someone who wants to shape the technical direction of the business.
The role:
- Final escalation point for complex technical issues (Apple, Microsoft 365, networking, identity/MDM) - but the real value-add is upstream of that.
- Own and evolve the internal technical stack: identity management, MDM, RMM - challenge what's being used, why, and whether it still makes sense for cost and service quality.
- Lead delivery of complex client projects end-to-end, from scoping through to BAU handover.
- Mentor and upskill L1/L2 engineers - informal training, knowledge-sharing, raising the technical bar across the team.
- Get involved in pre-sales and client-facing work: site visits, proposals, and helping define the tech stack the business presents to clients.
- Genuine influence over technical roadmap and vendor decisions - this is a business that will back well-argued change.
About you:
- 5+ years working with Apple (macOS/iOS) in a business environment, plus solid Windows Desktop/Server knowledge.
- The kind of person with a home lab, an opinion on every MDM platform, and a compulsive need to go and research something the moment you don't know it.
- Experience leading technical projects end-to-end, not just running a service desk.
- Comfortable in front of clients - able to translate technical work into outcomes non-technical stakeholders care about.
- ITIL exposure and familiarity with a compliance framework (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, SOC 2) a plus.
- Previous MSP experience is a bonus, not a requirement - what matters more is genuine curiosity about the space and the ability to reason your way through unfamiliar tools and platforms.
Why this role:
This is a business that's actively investing in doing things properly - modernising its stack, professionalising its team, and giving technical staff real input into direction. You'd be joining as the technical authority in the room, with the backing to make (and own) decisions.
