This is a fantastic opportunity to join a really exciting Technology business, based in Birmingham, as they look to continue their impressive level of growth. With a superb suite of products, they have made waves in their industry, and are now recruiting for a Head of IT position to join their thriving in-house function. Client Details Michael Page are proud to be partnered exclusively with a leading Technology business, who are expanding at an impressive rate, given the success of their innovative product offering to a burgeoning client base. The business is medium-sized, with approx. 1,500 users, and a head office in Birmingham, that has become renowned for its superb culture of collaboration and innovation. Continued investment into the business has now created an opportunity for a Head of IT to join their journey, a role ideal for an experienced Senior Infrastructure Manager looking to step up into a 'Head Of' role. Description As the Head of IT, you'll join a highly talented team, reporting directly into the Technical Director, and have both strategic and technical hands-on responsibilities for a wide array of technical areas. You will line manage a small Infrastructure team, which takes ownership of the company data centre, operating within a Microsoft environment. Acting as an escalation point for the team, you will provide technical expertise on BAU infrastructure issues where needed, as well as providing oversight on project work. Working closely with the Technical Director, you will be integrally involved in the evolution of the company's IT Security, covering areas such as ISO27001. Over the long term, the business plans to introduce DevOps ways of working, so you will help foster a close working relationship between the organisation's Infrastructure and Development teams. You will be based locally to Birmingham, as given the leadership nature of the role, you will be based on-site with the team at least 3 days per week, with the option for the remainder to be remote-based. Profile As the Head of IT, you will be very comfortable in a hands-on environment. This is not a purely strategic role, and the ideal candidate will be extremely adept at working alongside senior Engineers where required. You will be particularly experienced within the Microsoft stack, including technologies such as Windows Server , Hyper V , Azure , SQL , Office365 and Exchange . In addition, given the data centre elements of the role, you will have a strong understanding of networking concepts, such as gateways, DHCP and DNS. Reporting into the Technical Director, you will be able to assist with shaping the company's IT strategy, largely form an Infrastructure perspective, but also across Security and DevOps. You will ideally have experience with PowerBI solutions, and the architecture that supports them, such as Azure and SQL. The team you will inherit is already very good technically, but you will be able to demonstrate strong people skills, and get the team invested in the journey you take them on, upskilling them along the way, and growing out the function through proactive recruitment when needed. Job Offer £70,000 + Extensive Corporate Benefits package.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a really exciting Technology business, based in Birmingham, as they look to continue their impressive level of growth. With a superb suite of products, they have made waves in their industry, and are now recruiting for a Head of IT position to join their thriving in-house function. Client Details Michael Page are proud to be partnered exclusively with a leading Technology business, who are expanding at an impressive rate, given the success of their innovative product offering to a burgeoning client base. The business is medium-sized, with approx. 1,500 users, and a head office in Birmingham, that has become renowned for its superb culture of collaboration and innovation. Continued investment into the business has now created an opportunity for a Head of IT to join their journey, a role ideal for an experienced Senior Infrastructure Manager looking to step up into a 'Head Of' role. Description As the Head of IT, you'll join a highly talented team, reporting directly into the Technical Director, and have both strategic and technical hands-on responsibilities for a wide array of technical areas. You will line manage a small Infrastructure team, which takes ownership of the company data centre, operating within a Microsoft environment. Acting as an escalation point for the team, you will provide technical expertise on BAU infrastructure issues where needed, as well as providing oversight on project work. Working closely with the Technical Director, you will be integrally involved in the evolution of the company's IT Security, covering areas such as ISO27001. Over the long term, the business plans to introduce DevOps ways of working, so you will help foster a close working relationship between the organisation's Infrastructure and Development teams. You will be based locally to Birmingham, as given the leadership nature of the role, you will be based on-site with the team at least 3 days per week, with the option for the remainder to be remote-based. Profile As the Head of IT, you will be very comfortable in a hands-on environment. This is not a purely strategic role, and the ideal candidate will be extremely adept at working alongside senior Engineers where required. You will be particularly experienced within the Microsoft stack, including technologies such as Windows Server , Hyper V , Azure , SQL , Office365 and Exchange . In addition, given the data centre elements of the role, you will have a strong understanding of networking concepts, such as gateways, DHCP and DNS. Reporting into the Technical Director, you will be able to assist with shaping the company's IT strategy, largely form an Infrastructure perspective, but also across Security and DevOps. You will ideally have experience with PowerBI solutions, and the architecture that supports them, such as Azure and SQL. The team you will inherit is already very good technically, but you will be able to demonstrate strong people skills, and get the team invested in the journey you take them on, upskilling them along the way, and growing out the function through proactive recruitment when needed. Job Offer £70,000 + Extensive Corporate Benefits package.
