IT Systems Manager
Chichester / West Lavant (Full-time, Onsite)
Be the person who owns and shapes IT in a scaling, engineering-led company. At sees.ai, we’re hiring our first in-house IT Systems Manager to take full ownership of internal IT across a growing team building and operating autonomous drone systems.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll be responsible for everything from day-to-day support through to identity, security, and infrastructure — with the autonomy to improve how things are done as the company scales.
You won’t be stepping into a fully built IT function. You’ll be building and evolving it — working across a modern, cloud-first stack, and supporting both standard corporate systems and more unusual infrastructure connected to real-world operations. Based full-time at our West Lavant site, you’ll work closely with engineering, operations, and the wider business — with real visibility, responsibility, and impact from day one.
The Role
You’ll be the single point of contact for IT across the business. This is a broad, hands-on role covering:
- Internal IT support and user experience
- Identity and access management
- Security monitoring and incident response
- Corporate network and endpoint management
- Continuous improvement of systems, tooling, and processes
You’ll also support parts of our bespoke networking and infrastructure used in drones and vehicles — a genuinely interesting and non-standard environment where IT and real-world systems intersect.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Providing first-line support across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android
- Managing onboarding/offboarding, device setup, and access provisioning
- Administering identity and access (SSO, RBAC, joiners/movers/leavers)
- Managing SaaS tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, etc.)
- Maintaining and improving security monitoring (SIEM, alerting, patching)
- Responding to security alerts and incidents in a structured, methodical way
- Running a zero-trust network environment
- Supporting internal infrastructure, including non-standard operational systems
- Building documentation, processes, and user guidance
- Driving cybersecurity best practice and supporting standards such as ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials

- Understanding of cybersecurity principles and compliance
- Ability to work independently and prioritise without close oversight
Most importantly:
- You’re comfortable owning problems end-to-end
- You’re methodical and process-driven
- You’re confident working in unfamiliar or evolving technical environments
Nice to Have
- Experience in a startup or scaling company
- Exposure to GCP or cloud infrastructure (IAM, logging, access controls)
- MDM tools (Jamf, Intune, etc.)
- Networking fundamentals (VPNs, routing, firewalls)
- Exposure to Kubernetes or modern infrastructure tooling
