Application Manager - 7 month Contract Inside IR35 - Manchester Hybrid 2 days in office
TechOhana have partnered with a global professional services organisation to appoint an Interim Applications Manager on a 7-month engagement, based in Manchester on a hybrid basis.
This is a hands‑on leadership role. You’ll run an Application Platforms team of around 30, with two team leads reporting directly to you, and you’ll be close to the day‑to‑day work: prioritising workloads, getting involved when an application goes down, and keeping business‑critical systems stable while the estate moves forward.
You’ll manage the team leads, engineers and third‑party suppliers who support the application estate, owning incident, problem and change and handling major incidents directly when they happen. Alongside running the service, you’ll drive practical improvements: identifying and delivering AI, automation and low-code workflow opportunities that reduce manual effort, supporting cloud and SaaS adoption, and helping simplify the estate. You’ll build the team’s skills in automation and AI as you go, and finish the engagement with recommendations on team structure and capability, plus a clean handover.
