- Working with existing security frameworks and tools, with security oversight managed centrally
- Maintaining documentation and contributing to ongoing operational improvements
- You'll collaborate closely with teammates locally and regionally, sharing responsibility for delivering a stable and well-supported environment.
What you'll need to succeed
- Proven experience operating as a Systems Administrator within complex environments
- Strong hands-on administration of Microsoft platforms (M365, Entra ID, Intune, Hybrid AD), including configuration, policy management, and troubleshooting at depth
- Solid experience managing and maintaining server infrastructure and virtualisation platforms, including patching, upgrades, performance tuning, and lifecycle management
- Demonstrated ability to handle L3 escalations, perform root cause analysis, and resolve complex infrastructure issues across servers, identity, and endpoints
- Experience administering endpoint management and identity platforms with a focus on security, compliance, and access governance
- Practical experience managing backup environments and supporting disaster recovery processes, including monitoring, validation, and restore activities
- Comfortable working across BAU operations while contributing to system improvements, standardisation, and operational uplift
- Experience working within structured IT environments with shared ownership of infrastructure and service delivery across a team

- Flexible working arrangement
- A collaborative team culture with future growth and development opportunities
