IT Manager

IT Manager

We are recruiting an IT Manager for a well-established, well-regarded business based in Boston. This IT Manager role is a hands-on, delivery-focused position and is not a people-management role. The IT Manager will take ownership of IT systems, infrastructure, and projects, working closely with the business to deliver tangible improvements.

This IT Manager position is being hired directly by the business and will suit an IT Manager who enjoys ownership, stakeholder engagement, and project delivery rather than managing large teams.

The Role

As IT Manager, you will own the day-to-day IT environment while leading two major projects in your first year:

• Implementation of a new VoIP phone system, including stakeholder engagement and change adoption

• Delivery of ISO 27001, working towards an external audit scheduled for April

Alongside these projects, the IT Manager will remain hands-on across infrastructure, Microsoft 365, networks, security, suppliers, and general IT operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Ownership of IT infrastructure, systems, and security

• Hands-on support and administration across Microsoft 365, networking, servers, backups, and endpoints

• Managing third-party suppliers and MSPs

• Leading IT projects from planning through to delivery

• Driving cyber security standards and ISO 27001 readiness

• Acting as the primary IT point of contact for the business

There are no direct reports initially, with the intention to recruit a junior IT resource in the future.

Package & Working Pattern

• Base salary up to 47,500

• 7,500 bonus in year one, linked to delivery of the two major projects

• Flexibility across salary, bonus, and car / EV

• EV charging available on site

• Fully on-site, Monday to Friday, with occasional ad-hoc flexibility

About You

• Proven experience as an IT Manager, Senior IT Engineer, or hands-on IT Lead

• Strong technical background across infrastructure, systems, and security

• Comfortable owning IT in a site-based environment

• Confident engaging non-technical stakeholders

• Project-driven, pragmatic, and delivery-focused

• Not looking for a people-management role
