Information Technology Manager

IT Manager – Oxford (Predominantly Remote)

Permanent – up to £60,000

OR Part-Time (30–37 hours per week, pro rata up to £60,000)

We’re supporting an established, values-led organisation in Oxford that is looking to appoint a strategic IT Manager to take ownership of its technology function.

This is a predominantly remote role (typically c.1 day per week in Oxford, flexibility for candidates further afield attending fortnightly).

The Opportunity

This is a broad, organisation-wide position combining IT strategy, MSP governance, cybersecurity oversight, and systems improvement.

You will

• Own and evolve the IT roadmap (a draft is already in place)
• Lead application selection and technology decision-making
• Oversee a Managed Service Provider (first & second line outsourced)
• Review and assess MSP performance and future delivery model
• Drive cybersecurity governance (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus environment)
• Lead audit readiness and compliance best practice
• Oversee infrastructure, hybrid/cloud environments and SaaS estate
• Deliver key 12-month initiatives including hosting/cloud review, file-sharing platform review, web security tooling and password management improvements

This is not a large enterprise IT leadership role. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys owning IT within a 70-person organisation and shaping its future direction.

Progression

There is genuine opportunity for this role to develop longer-term into a Head of IT / CTO-level position as the function matures.

About You

• Proven experience as an IT Manager, Senior IT Manager, or IT Lead
• Strong grounding in infrastructure, cloud and SaaS ecosystems
• Experience managing MSPs and external vendors
• Exposure to regulated or audited environments (ISO, Cyber Essentials or similar)
• Comfortable reporting into executive leadership and translating technical into business language
• Proactive, commercially aware, and improvement-focused

Package Highlights

• Up to 8% matched pension
• 25 days holiday rising to 30 (plus bank holidays)
• Annual cost of living review
• Performance-based annual award
• EV salary sacrifice scheme
• Flexible hybrid working

If you’re looking for ownership, influence and long-term progression within a mission-driven organisation, this is worth exploring.
