Continuously improve ticket response and resolution quality.
Security and Identity
Administer and secure Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID, including licensing, Conditional Access, MFA, and SSO integrations.
Own endpoint security through EDR and MDM platforms - deployment, tuning, alerting, and incident handling.
Maintain firewall, VPN, Wi-Fi, and network segmentation.
Run periodic vulnerability assessments and coordinate remediation.
Compliance and Audit
Maintain and evolve the information security management system aligned to ISO 27001:2022.
Write, update, and communicate IT and security policies. Keep evidence audit-ready.
Represent IT during internal and external audits.
Vendor and Asset Management
Manage vendor relationships for hardware, software, SaaS, endpoint security, MDM, firewall, and connectivity partners.
Optimise SaaS licence usage across the organisation.
Oversee the full asset lifecycle - procurement, allocation, audit, and responsible retirement.
Team and Enablement
Mentor and grow the junior engineer on the team.
Lead IT onboarding sessions and periodic security awareness training.
Build clear, leadership-facing reporting on IT health, security posture, and compliance
What You Will Bring:
Must-haves:
6 to 9 years in IT operations, including at least 2 years leading the function or a clear sub-function.
Hands-on Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID administration, including Conditional Access, MFA, and SSO.
Meaningful ISO 27001:2022 experience - you have written or significantly updated security policies and participated in at least one audit cycle.
Hands-on deployment experience with modern EDR and MDM platforms.
Working knowledge of networking: firewall, VLAN, VPN, DHCP, DNS, Wi-Fi security.
Scripting ability in PowerShell or Python.
Experience managing IT in an organisation with no or minimal on-premise server footprint.
Strong written and spoken English.
Preferred:
ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor certification.

Experience administering Google Workspace.
Experience managing Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams Rooms.
