Cloud & Infrastructure Team Lead | Azure | IT Operations | Cloud Strategy | Hybrid Cardiff (2 days per week) | £60,000-£65,000 + benefits
Method Resourcing are proud to be partnered with a globally recognised education organisation as they continue their evolution towards a modern, platform-led technology function. They're looking for a Cloud & Infrastructure Team Lead to join a growing Infrastructure & Operations team, taking ownership of a critical area of the technology estate and helping drive the next phase of cloud adoption and infrastructure modernisation.
This role offers a fantastic opportunity for either an existing Team Lead or a Senior Infrastructure / Cloud Engineer looking to step into leadership for the first time.
The role
The organisation has undergone significant transformation over the last few years, shifting towards a product and platform-led operating model. As a result, infrastructure teams are no longer focused purely on support and operations. They're now responsible for enabling business strategy through modern cloud platforms and scalable technology services.
You'll be responsible for leading a team focused on Cloud and Data Services, helping deliver cloud strategy, infrastructure improvements, and platform evolution across a global technology landscape. While there is some hands-on involvement, the focus is increasingly around technical leadership, stakeholder engagement, delivery, and setting direction.
