Network Technical Lead / Manager | Cisco & Datacentre
£70,000–£75,000 | Remote | Player-Manager
IP-People are partnering with a cloud and managed services provider to recruit a Network Technical Lead / Manager to take technical ownership of its network platform and lead a team of five Network Engineers.
This isn’t a traditional management role. We’re looking for someone who remains technically strong and hands-on, while taking greater ownership of the platform, technical direction and development of the team.
The role
You’ll take ownership of a highly available, multi-datacentre network environment, covering core datacentre networking, WAN, customer connectivity, edge and network security. You’ll remain a senior technical escalation point, lead and develop the engineering team, and help shape how the network platform evolves. A key part of that evolution will be automation and Infrastructure as Code, standardising builds, reducing manual processes and improving engineering efficiency.
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.
We’re looking for:
- Strong Cisco routing & switching
- Cisco Nexus / datacentre networking
- Multi-datacentre and highly available network environments
- WAN, connectivity and network security
- Strong troubleshooting and technical ownership
- Experience leading and mentoring Network Engineers
- Network automation / Infrastructure as Code
- Ideally from a service provider or MSP environment, with experience supporting complex, highly available customer-facing networks

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Exposure to Ansible, Python or Terraform would be a real advantage, alongside exposure to OpenStack/Linux networking.
This could suit a Senior/Lead Network Engineer ready for more ownership and leadership, or an existing hands-on Technical Manager who wants to remain close to the technology.
