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
