Cedar Technology Operations Manager
Cedar are looking for a Technology Operations Manager to join a growing organisation operating within a regulated industry, currently investing in their technology capabilities to support the next phase of their growth.
Cedar are seeking an experienced hire to oversee day-to-day technology operations across a modern Microsoft environment. This is a senior operational role focused on service ownership, supplier management and stakeholder engagement rather than hands-on technical administration.
Working across Technology, Risk, Compliance, Data and Change functions, you will ensure technology services remain stable, secure and scalable. You will also play a key role in driving operational improvements, strengthening resilience and ensuring third-party providers consistently deliver against agreed expectations. This role offers the opportunity to influence technology operations within a dynamic organisation undergoing continued transformation.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee the operational performance of core Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft 365, Azure, identity and endpoint management services.
- Manage and challenge managed service providers and technology partners, including service reviews, SLA management, incident escalation, root cause analysis and remediation tracking.
- Ensure device and endpoint compliance issues are identified, monitored and resolved appropriately.
- Oversee joiner, mover and leaver processes across user access, devices, licensing and offboarding activities.
- Work closely with Risk, Compliance, Projects, Change and Data teams to translate business requirements into effective technology outcomes.
- Support cyber security activities through operational oversight of access controls, patching, endpoint compliance and supplier-led remediation activities.
- Contribute to the enhancement of technology assurance and control frameworks across the organisation.
- Ensure technology services support wider governance, data management and operational requirements.
- Support business continuity and disaster recovery planning, testing and ongoing improvements.
- Produce reporting across service performance, incidents, supplier delivery, operational risks and compliance activities.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives across technology operations and service management practices.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
