Remote but 3-4 days travelling – UK & Ireland
£80-95kpa
The opportunity
This is for a new, Private Equity backed, UK arm of an established pan-European group, growing through acquisition on a partnership model where each business keeps its own identity and USPs. Since launching in 2025 it has seen strong uptake, with a healthy pipeline and plans to scale into 2028 and beyond, including the Republic of Ireland.
The role
A new permanent role and the first dedicated IT hire. You will own IT end to end setting the target state, building a repeatable “plug-and-play” playbook to bring every new practice onto it and leading delivery through an MSP. It is a role for someone technically capable who can deliver what is needed now, with the strategic outlook to shape what comes next. As the business grows, so will the role and the team around it.
Key responsibilities
-
One platform: bring every practice onto a single Microsoft 365 tenant, connecting multiple sites through 365, Entra ID and Intune.
-
Common systems: lead the move onto the same Practice Management System and business systems, including Microsoft Business Central.
-
Integration playbook: own IT due diligence and onboarding for new acquisitions, with no operational downtime.
-
Security and governance: zero-trust security baseline, IT policies, risk, backup and disaster recovery.
-
MSP and suppliers: direct the MSP, approve designs and quotes, hold them to service levels and consolidate inherited contracts.
-
Strategy and budget: own the IT roadmap and budget, and report to the CFO and leadership team.
What we are looking for
-
Still technically capable: strong, current Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune and security knowledge.
-
Multi-site experience: delivering IT across multiple sites, ideally in an acquisitive or partnership model.
-
MSP management: setting briefs, challenging quotes and holding a provider to account.
-
Strategic and hands-on: equally comfortable presenting to directors and supporting a go-live on site.
-
People skills: builds trust quickly with practice teams and explains technology in plain English.
-
Desirable: M&A integration, Practice Management System rollouts, telephony/connectivity and PE-backed experience.
