The Role
Joining a fast-growing business, as an IT Director here you will take ownership of the reliability, security, and performance of their internal technology estate. This is a hands-on technical leadership role rather than a purely strategic one. You will be the person who keeps internal systems running smoothly, integrated, and secure, while managing the vendors and partners who support them.
Whilst this role does not own the functional design of any individual business platform, it will own the technical plumbing behind it: APIs, data flows, uptime, access, and security across the wider systems estate.
Key areas of responsibility include:
- Owning the technical health of internal business systems (CRM, finance, HR, telephony, data warehouse, and more), ensuring they operate reliably and securely
- Maintaining the integrations connecting these systems, resolving issues quickly when data flows break
- Overseeing the stability, performance, and security of the wider IT infrastructure, including networks, servers, cloud services, and endpoints
- Owning IT security posture, covering access controls, patching, endpoint protection, and monitoring
- Building and maintaining resilience and disaster recovery plans, including regular testing and backup integrity
- Managing relationships with external technology vendors and managed service providers, owning SLAs, and contract performance
- Running the internal helpdesk function and owning the lifecycle of technical equipment
- Acting as the technical subject matter resource on cross-functional projects, translating business requirements into technical implementation plans

About You
We are looking for someone who has genuinely operated as a hands-on technical leader, not purely a manager. You will likely have:
- Seven or more years in IT operations or infrastructure roles, including two to three years in a leadership or senior technical capacity
- Experience managing infrastructure, security, and integrations across multiple internal business systems
- A track record of managing external vendors, MSPs, or technology partners and holding them to account against SLAs
- Experience building or maintaining disaster recovery and business continuity plans
- Comfort operating in a smaller company where the role is genuinely hands-on rather than purely managerial
On the technical side, you should bring:
- Strong working knowledge of API integrations and middleware or iPaaS concepts
- A solid understanding of network, server, and cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Strong IT security fundamentals, including identity and access management, endpoint security, and patch management
- Familiarity with common SaaS business systems and how they typically integrate with one another
- Experience with helpdesk or service management tooling and ticketing systems
