Head of Cloud, IT & Security
£75,000–£80,000 | London | Hybrid – minimum 3 days onsite (and potentially ad-hoc presence beyond this)
We’re working with an established healthcare information, data and media organisation looking for a Head of Cloud, IT & Security to take ownership of its cloud, IT operations and security environment.
The business operates across healthcare data and insights, digital publishing/subscriptions and industry events, creating a varied technology estate spanning cloud infrastructure, enterprise SaaS platforms and data-driven products.
This is a hands-on, operational leadership role and could be a great step up for someone already operating at a senior technical level who wants broader ownership and the opportunity to move into a Head of position.
The key here is breadth. This isn’t a pure cyber security, governance or cloud architecture role. You’ll work across cloud, infrastructure, IT operations, security, applications and external technology partners.
What you’ll be doing:
- Taking ownership of IT operations, cloud infrastructure and cyber security
- Managing predominantly Azure environments alongside AWS, with Azure the strategic direction
- Acting as the senior escalation point across infrastructure, cloud and security
- Managing outsourced MSP, service desk and security partners
- Owning Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, identity and endpoint management
- Supporting vulnerability management, incident response and wider security operations
- Leading cloud governance, resilience, disaster recovery and business continuity
- Providing technical and architectural oversight across enterprise SaaS applications
- Identifying opportunities to use AI and automation to improve internal processes and productivity
- Remaining close to the technology and willing to get hands-on when required

- Experience working across SaaS applications and broader enterprise technology

- Someone comfortable balancing technical delivery with strategic ownership
- An interest in AI and automation and how they can practically improve business operations
