IT Manager – Oxford (Predominantly Remote)
Permanent – up to £60,000
OR Part-Time (30–37 hours per week, pro rata up to £60,000)
We’re supporting an established, values-led organisation in Oxford that is looking to appoint a strategic IT Manager to take ownership of its technology function.
This is a predominantly remote role (typically c.1 day per week in Oxford, flexibility for candidates further afield attending fortnightly).
The Opportunity
This is a broad, organisation-wide position combining IT strategy, MSP governance, cybersecurity oversight, and systems improvement.
You will
* Own and evolve the IT roadmap (a draft is already in place)
* Lead application selection and technology decision-making
* Oversee a Managed Service Provider (first & second line outsourced)
* Review and assess MSP performance and future delivery model
* Drive cybersecurity governance (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus environment)
* Lead audit readiness and compliance best practice
* Oversee infrastructure, hybrid/cloud environments and SaaS estate
* Deliver key 12-month initiatives including hosting/cloud review, file-sharing platform review, web security tooling and password management improvements
This is not a large enterprise IT leadership role. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys owning IT within a 70-person organisation and shaping its future direction.
Progression
There is genuine opportunity for this role to develop longer-term into a Head of IT / CTO-level position as the function matures.
About You
* Proven experience as an IT Manager, Senior IT Manager, or IT Lead
* Strong grounding in infrastructure, cloud and SaaS ecosystems
* Experience managing MSPs and external vendors
* Exposure to regulated or audited environments (ISO, Cyber Essentials or similar)
* Comfortable reporting into executive leadership and translating technical into business language
* Proactive, commercially aware, and improvement-focused
Package Highlights
* Up to 8% matched pension
* 25 days holiday rising to 30 (plus bank holidays)
* Annual cost of living review
* Performance-based annual award
* EV salary sacrifice scheme
* Flexible hybrid working
If you’re looking for ownership, influence and long-term progression within a mission-driven organisation, this is worth exploring.
