We're partnering with an innovative, high-growth fintech to appoint an experienced Network Manager who will play a key role in shaping and leading their global network engineering function.
This is a rare opportunity to join a rapidly scaling technology business at an exciting stage of its growth journey. The organisation is investing heavily in its Technical Operations capability, creating an environment where talented engineers and leaders can make a genuine impact on infrastructure strategy, resilience, and operational excellence.
The successful candidate will join a business that values ownership, innovation, and collaboration, where empowered teams are trusted to solve complex challenges, drive meaningful outcomes, and continuously improve the technology that underpins critical payment services.
Operating in a highly available 24/7 environment, you will lead a team responsible for the design, implementation, optimisation, and support of enterprise network infrastructure while helping to shape the future direction of the wider Technical Operations organisation.

You'll provide technical leadership across architecture, design, implementation, support, and operational management while developing and mentoring a team of network engineers.
This is a true player-coach position, requiring someone who enjoys leading people while maintaining close involvement in technical decision-making and strategic initiatives.
