You’ll also support and develop a high‑performing team, while working closely with stakeholders across the business to align services with strategic goals and ensure compliance.

* Proven leadership in IT operations, including networks, hosting, workplace services, and endpoint management.

* Relevant degree and ideally qualifications such as ITIL, CCNA, VCP, Azure, or Cloud Security.
