About you

• You'll bring strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Windows environments and enterprise-level administration, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex, multi-system issues at second-line level and beyond. With well-developed communication skills, you're confident supporting colleagues at all levels and are comfortable working within ITIL-aligned service management practices.
• You'll have experience leading or guiding technical teams, ideally across multiple locations, and a deep understanding of modern Microsoft technologies, service desk tools, and the realities of providing dependable support in a busy environment.
• Knowledge of ITIL, Microsoft 365 administration, infrastructure fundamentals or IT project methods would be a bonus, as would experience supporting teams in development or international settings.
