About the Job
A leading financial services business are looking for an experienced Hosting and Network Manager to lead a team responsible for the availability, resilience, and security of our enterprise hosting and network platforms within a regulated financial services environment. This is a hands-on technical management role with a strong leadership, governance, and operational resilience.
You will ensure that critical infrastructure services meet regulatory, security, and business continuity requirements, while acting as a trusted partner to senior technology, risk, and business stakeholders.
Hosting and Network Manager - What You Will Be Doing:
- Lead, develop, and performance-manage a hosting and network engineering team, setting clear objectives and fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
- Own the operational governance of enterprise-scale on-premises and co-location hosting environments supporting business-critical financial systems.
- Provide oversight of virtualisation platforms (VMware vSphere, NSX), physical compute, and enterprise storage (NetApp SAN/NAS/HCI) through effective team leadership and vendor management.
- Define and assure backup, disaster recovery, and operational resilience strategies aligned to business RPO/RTO and regulatory expectations.
- Establish and enforce infrastructure security baselines and configuration standards aligned with ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and internal risk frameworks.
- Drive service improvement through standardisation, automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives, improving stability, control, and operational efficiency.
- Manage third-party suppliers and strategic partners, including contract negotiation, SLA governance, and service performance reviews.
- Act as a senior escalation point and advisor, clearly articulating infrastructure risk, control posture, and resilience to senior leadership.
