Role

I am recruiting for a Head of Infrastructure position that will require travel to various UK sites, so ideally you will live around the Midlands, but various locations within the UK will be considered.

You will initially be required to travel more frequently for the first few months and once settled in the role there will be an expectation of a minimum of 3 days in office or travelling per week.

This role is diverse and will require up-to-date hands on technical experience as well as strategic leadership responsibilities.

The company is expanding at pace, so any experience you have with mergers and acquisitions will be very useful.

You will be accountable for Infrastructure, User support, Cyber Security standards, Cloud and On Prem hybrid environment, Disaster recovery, service delivery, Governance, Risk and Compliance.

There will be an element of travel required each week, so a full UK driving licence is required.

You will travel as needed to various sites across the business.

You will act as the primary technical authority and provide clear instruction to your reports as well as stakeholders, ensuring that standards are met and upheld throughout the business.

They currently outsource a lot of helpdesk support to MSP partners.

You should feel equally comfortable whether presenting to high level board members or speaking to a third partner first line support technician.

I am looking for demonstrable senior leadership experience within a high growth company coupled with current hands on infrastructure experience to muck in and do it yourself, if and when needed.
