TechOps / Application Support Manager

Job Description

TechOps / Application Support Manager required to take ownership of technical operations across a large-scale, multi-site technology estate. This is a hands-on leadership role, combining team management with direct responsibility for infrastructure, networking, monitoring, and operational support.

You'll lead a small team of engineers, drive operational excellence, improve monitoring and incident management processes, and act as the senior escalation point for complex technical issues. You'll also play a key role in the deployment and support of IoT devices, networking equipment, and edge technologies across distributed locations.

Key Requirements:

  • 6+ years' experience in Technical Operations, Infrastructure, IT Support, or Field Engineering.
  • Previous people management and team leadership experience.
  • Strong networking knowledge (VPNs, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, firewalls, routing).
  • Experience managing distributed technology estates and IoT devices.
  • Proven troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills.
  • Comfortable working with remote monitoring, device management tools, and CLI/SSH environments.
  • Strong documentation, process improvement, and stakeholder management skills.

Desirable:

  • Knowledge of cloud platforms, APIs, and operational data analysis.
  • Jira Service Management administration.
  • Microsoft 365 administration.
  • ITIL certification.

This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive technical leader who enjoys balancing strategy, people management, and hands-on technical problem-solving in a fast-paced operational environment.
