Global Infrastructure Leader (6-Month FTC - Chance of Extension/Perm)
Glasgow – Hybrid
No Sponsorship
VIQU have partnered with a global professional services organisation undergoing significant transformation following a major business combination. With a large international technology function and ambitious infrastructure roadmap, this is an opportunity to lead a global team through a critical period of change while ensuring business-critical services remain secure, resilient and operational.
As the Global Infrastructure Leader, you'll take ownership of a global infrastructure function of around 70 people, leading Infrastructure Managers across the UK and Australia along with multiple technical teams covering Azure, Microsoft 365, Identity & Access Management (IAM), Server & Compute, Collaboration and Cloud Infrastructure.
This is a strategic leadership role focused on operational excellence, service delivery and people leadership rather than hands-on technical work.
