I'm currently seeking a DevOps Manager to join a leading international tech company in Birmingham and take full ownership of the strategy, delivery, and optimisation of secure, scalable, and reliable infrastructure that powers mission-critical platforms for a growing global client base.
In this role, you’ll set the vision for our DevOps function, aligning technology, people, and processes to meet the demands of a fast-moving, cloud-first environment. You’ll lead multiple workstreams, develop high-performing teams, and partner with senior stakeholders to ensure our platforms evolve in step with business growth — without compromising on stability, security, or cost efficiency.
Key Responsibilities:
* Define and own the DevOps strategy, ensuring alignment with business and technology objectives.
* Lead, mentor, and grow DevOps teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
* Oversee the design, automation, and optimisation of CI/CD pipelines to drive speed, reliability, and consistency.
* Manage and optimise Azure infrastructure for scalability, security, performance, and cost control.
* Champion modern monitoring, observability, and incident management practices to maintain high availability.
* Partner with engineering, architecture, and product leadership to accelerate delivery and reduce operational friction.
* Drive adoption of FinOps principles to balance technical ambition with commercial responsibility.
* Stay ahead of industry trends to ensure our DevOps capabilities remain best-in-class.
Key experience required:
* Significant leadership experience managing DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering functions.
* Deep expertise in Azure Cloud, containerisation, infrastructure as code, and automation.
* Proven track record in designing and managing large-scale CI/CD systems (Azure DevOps preferred).
* Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience influencing at C-suite or senior leadership level.
* Demonstrated success in improving system resilience, performance, and cost efficiency.
* Relevant certifications (Azure, DevOps, or cloud architecture) are highly desirable.
Why you should apply:
* Hybrid working model (split between home and our Birmingham office).
* Competitive salary with genuine authority to shape the DevOps strategy and operating model.
* Work on innovative, high-impact projects across international markets.
* Join a culture built on trust, collaboration, and continuous learning.
If you’re ready to take strategic control of a global DevOps capability, lead talented engineers, and deliver game-changing infrastructure solutions, we’d love to hear from you
