Head of IT

Key Responsibilities

• Identity and access. You will run Entra ID and Google Workspace as our two core platforms, owning SSO, MFA, conditional access and group structure, and keeping the relationship between the two clean rather than accreted.
• The endpoint fleet. Around 75 users across macOS and Windows, managed entirely through Intune. Enrolment, compliance policy, patching, encryption and app deployment, plus the hardware lifecycle from procurement to secure disposal.
• Access lifecycle across roughly 70 SaaS tools , from core business systems through to Slack and Claude. Today a lot of this is manual. You will make provisioning and deprovisioning repeatable, ideally by scripting against vendor APIs rather than clicking through admin consoles.
• IT as a service the business can rely on. You will run budgeting, stand up our own service management and asset tooling with sensible SLAs, and build joiners, movers and leavers into a process that produces evidence rather than reassurance.
• Vendor and contract management. You own the relationship with our IT suppliers end to end: contracts, renewals, pricing and performance, not just provisioning access to what they provide.
