IT Manager

Glasgow or Edinburgh (Hybrid - 3 days office / 2 from home)
Up to £56,500

This is a role for someone who wants to own IT, not just maintain it.

You'll lead a small team and take responsibility for how IT actually works across the business day-to-day, making sure people are supported, systems run properly, and nothing critical falls over. But equally, this isn't just about keeping the lights on. The expectation is that you'll come in, spot where things can be better, and improve them.

It's a hands-on environment. You'll still be close to the tech, stepping in on more complex issues, shaping how the Microsoft stack is used, and making practical decisions around infrastructure, security and user access. If you enjoy being the person people rely on when something tricky arises, you'll thrive here.

There's real scope to make an impact. The business is growing, so IT needs to keep pace. That means tightening processes, introducing more automation, improving controls, and making sure everything from onboarding users to managing access and devices is done properly and consistently. You'll work closely with the wider business to make sure IT supports what they're trying to achieve, not slows it down.

A big part of the role is balancing two things well: running a smooth operation today while gradually improving it for tomorrow.

About you:
Experience leading or mentoring a small IT team

Strong hands-on experience with:
- Microsoft 365
- Azure
- Active Directory / Entra ID
Background in IT infrastructure / IT operations (not just support desk)
Comfortable acting as a technical escalation point
Experience improving process, service delivery, or controls
Some PowerShell or automation experience

This role suits someone who's either already an IT Manager but still likes being hands-on, or a strong Senior Engineer ready to take that next step and own a function.
