Permanent - up to £60,000
OR Part-Time (30–37 hours per week, pro rata up to £60,000)
We are partnering with an established, purpose-driven organisation based in Oxford that is looking to appoint a senior IT Manager to lead and evolve its technology function.
This is a strategic, organisation-wide leadership role with full ownership of the IT roadmap, vendor ecosystem, cybersecurity posture, and systems architecture.
The Opportunity
This position combines strategy and governance with operational oversight. You will:
Own and deliver a multi-year IT strategy aligned to business objectives
Lead technology selection, application governance, and systems architecture decisions
Oversee a Managed Service Provider and external suppliers, holding them accountable to SLAs and security standards
Lead on cybersecurity, risk management, and compliance frameworks
Support ISO 27001, ISO 27701, Cyber Essentials / CE+, and NHS DSPT processes
Oversee infrastructure, cloud platforms, SaaS estate, and Microsoft 365
Deliver IT projects and drive digital improvement initiatives
Act as a senior advisor to leadership on technology investment and direction
This is an oversight-led role rather than a hands-on support position, though strong technical grounding is essential.
About You
Proven experience as an IT Manager, Head of IT, or similar senior technology role
Strong understanding of infrastructure, cloud environments, and SaaS ecosystems
Experience developing IT strategy and multi-year roadmaps
Vendor and MSP management experience
Strong grasp of cybersecurity and data governance
Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy environments preferred
Location
Oxford-based with hybrid working. Regular office attendance required depending on business needs.
If you are looking for a role where you can shape IT direction rather than simply maintain it, this will be of interest.
