IT Manager

MCS Group is exclusively representing a new tech entrant to the local market in NI. Having opened their first office just over 6 months ago, the business has grown from strength-to-strength and has a team of over 50 in the local market already.

Proper flexibility - 1-2 days onsite at most, flexibility with working hours.

The chance to properly shape a support function in a high-growth tech company (c. 300 users today with c $200 million turnover)

• You'll get involved with Security and compliance across Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 and SOC 2

• Disaster recovery, incident response and audit readiness

• Strong technical background across Azure/Entra, M365, Intune, Windows with working Linux/macOS knowledge
• Solid networking (VPNs, firewalls, Wi-Fi, DNS/DHCP)
• Comfortable owning security, audits and compliance
• A natural leader who can run and scale a global IT team
• Bonus points for Sentinel, automation, PowerShell or IaC

Up to £70,000 with package which includes healthcare, bonus and pension
