IT Technical Lead | Apple-First MSP | London (Hybrid) |
We're working with a growing, Apple-first Managed Service Provider on a newly created senior technical role. This isn't a service-desk management job - it's a hands-on, senior individual contributor position for someone who wants to shape the technical direction of the business.
The role:
- Final escalation point for complex technical issues (Apple, Microsoft 365, networking, identity/MDM) - but the real value-add is upstream of that
- Own and evolve the internal technical stack: identity management, MDM, RMM - challenge what's being used, why, and whether it still makes sense for cost and service quality
- Lead delivery of complex client projects end-to-end, from scoping through to BAU handover
- Mentor and upskill L1/L2 engineers - informal training, knowledge-sharing, raising the technical bar across the team
- Get involved in pre-sales and client-facing work: site visits, proposals, and helping define the tech stack the business presents to clients
- Genuine influence over technical roadmap and vendor decisions - this is a business that will back well-argued change
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About you:
- 5+ years working with Apple (macOS/iOS) in a business environment, plus solid Windows Desktop/Server knowledge
- The kind of person with a home lab, an opinion on every MDM platform, and a compulsive need to go and research something the moment you don't know it
- Experience leading technical projects end-to-end, not just running a service desk
- Comfortable in front of clients - able to translate technical work into outcomes non-technical stakeholders care about
- ITIL exposure and familiarity with a compliance framework (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, SOC 2) a plus
- Previous MSP experience is a bonus, not a requirement - what matters more is genuine curiosity about the space and the ability to reason your way through unfamiliar tools and platforms
