Role
Who you are
- Operational Experience: The IT Manager must have extensive experience in IT operations or IT department supervisory experience. A strong candidate would have knowledge of Google, Microsoft, Apple, and service desk management tools
- Complex Project Coordination: Exceptional organisational skills to manage the "flow" of information between technical teams and specialists, ensuring no bottlenecks occur during the vendor process
- Stakeholder Management: Proven ability to influence and build consensus across diverse departments (Finance, Legal, IT, and Operations) with competing priorities
- Problem Solving: A proven record of problem-solving and project management skills is usually appreciated. Professional experience in automating manual tasks, SLO/SLA Implementation, and improving reliability with process automation, QA testing, and enterprise platform administration
- Leadership: Extensive experience in a management position (e.g., manager, team lead, or architect) responsible for managing a team of software, SRE, or DevOps engineers in support of an Agile production environment
- Professional experience with Application Performance Monitoring tools and cross-platform integrations
- Tenacity to drive issues to conclusions and develop sustainable and scalable solutions
- Ability to multitask and effectively function in an interrupt-driven and high-visibility environment
- Effective communication skills and a sense of ownership and drive
What the job involves
- We're looking for a hands-on, strategic IT Manager to take ownership of our technology infrastructure to support our growing business needs
- Forget the standard "keeping the lights on" routine—you will lead the strategic planning, security, and optimisation of our core IT systems
- In this role, you will balance big-picture strategy with day-to-day execution: managing a dedicated team, safeguarding our electronic data, and partnering with departments across the business to deliver customised, high-impact technical solutions
- Strategic IT Planning: Develop and implement the company's IT strategy in alignment with business objectives, including infrastructure upgrades, software deployments, and security enhancements
- System Administration: Manage and maintain operating systems, applications, and security tools, ensuring optimal performance, stability, and security
- IT Support & Helpdesk Management: Oversee the provision of efficient and effective IT support to all employees, managing the helpdesk function and ensuring timely resolution of technical issues. Provide cover and be an escalation point for the service team
- Data Security & Compliance: Implement and enforce IT security policies and procedures to protect company data and systems from threats and ensure compliance with relevant regulations (e.g., GDPR)
- Vendor & Procurement Management: Serve as the primary orchestration point for the end-to-end vendor procurement process. You will bridge the gap between technical stakeholders, vendors, and corporate procurement specialists from the parent company to ensure high-value contracts meet rigorous compliance and budgetary standards. This includes evaluating vendor performance and functionality to consolidate the ecosystem in the best interest of the business
- Technology Evaluation: Research and evaluate new technologies and solutions to improve efficiency, security, and business capabilities. Conduct rigorous functional and technical evaluations of vendors against the existing technology stack to identify overlaps, gaps, and opportunities for modernisation and consolidation
- Budget Management: Develop and manage the IT budget, ensuring cost-effectiveness and efficient allocation of resources
- Documentation & Reporting: Maintain accurate documentation of IT systems, configurations, and procedures. Generate regular reports on IT performance, security, and budget
- Team Leadership & Development: Lead, mentor, and develop a small IT team (if applicable), fostering a collaborative and high-performing work environment
- Project Management: Lead and manage IT projects, ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required specifications
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Approximately one-third of the UK workforce works part-time, and interest in part-time and flexible work is forecasted to continue as the economy recovers and people seek work opportunities that fit their priorities.
Syft, a UK-based online recruiting platform for the hospitality, events and light industrial sectors, was acquired by Indeed in 2019. The company introduced the Indeed Flex brand to incorporate workforce management, VMS and a fully managed service for employers’ flexible and part-time recruitment and staffing needs.
Indeed Flex has been well-served by its laser-sharp focus on flexible workers, and its connection to Indeed has lent the company valuable credibility. It will need to continue to attract top part-time talent to ensure its continued success, and its partnerships with the likes of Branch, offering same-day payouts for workers and other incentives, will no doubt draw in users.
