The Role
Whether you’re stepping into seniority or a seasoned expert seeking a higher ceiling, this role delivers the autonomy and scale you need. As our primary onsite technical partner in London, you will be essential in ensuring IT is a visible, integrated, and reliable part of the office.
You will move beyond solving tickets to owning initiatives end-to-end, providing the vital technical expertise and insights that help the Lead Engineer shape our broader IT strategy.
Success in this role is all about the balance between high-level project delivery and being a helpful, visible presence on-site. We are looking for someone who can keep the "Business as Usual" (BAU) tasks running smoothly while ensuring that our staff always feel they have a trusted point of contact to turn to for support and guidance.
You'll be:
- A Vital Technical Contributor: Partnering with business leads to provide the essential insights needed for strategic decisions that keep our systems in sync with a fast-scaling business.
- Project Lead & Owner: Owning IT projects from planning through to delivery, making sure they align with business goals while keeping a steady hand on daily onsite support.
- A Visible Onsite Partner: Working side by side with other IT engineers while owning the first-line experience for our London office, ensuring users feel heard, supported, and connected to our technology.
- Master of the Juggling Act: Making smart calls on your own priorities to hit project deadlines without letting general support or office infrastructure slip.
- Infrastructure & Security Lead: Managing our fleet of remote assets via MDM (e.g., Kandji), maintaining role-based access via SSO, and ensuring physical office infrastructure (cabling, CCTV) is functional and tidy.
- Technical Mentor: Raising the bar for the wider team by embedding best practices (ITIL) and assisting others with complex troubleshooting.
We’re looking for someone who has:
- A Knack for Juggling Priorities: A proven ability to prioritise in a high-pressure environment, ensuring that complex projects do not distract from the essential daily support our team needs.
- Strong Professional Presence: The communication skills and confidence to work with people across all levels of the business, explaining technical concepts clearly to non-technical colleagues.
- Desire for new challenges: Solid experience in IT or systems administration with a proactive mindset and a readiness to take on the responsibilities of a senior-level role.
- Hands-on Technical Expertise: Proficiency with Google Workspace, macOS, and Windows device management.
- Operational Excellence: Experience with ITSM tools (e.g., Freshservice or Jira Service Desk) and a detail-driven approach to maintaining clear documentation.
It’s a bonus if you have:
- Scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Python, Bash).
- Familiarity with both macOS and Windows device management.
- IT certifications (CompTIA A+, ITIL, or similar).
