Job Description

Digital Manager | Defence | Azure, Cloud & Cyber | Hybrid | SC Eligible


I'm working with an organisation that's investing heavily in its digital transformation and is looking for an experienced Digital Manager to lead the delivery of IT, Cloud, and Cyber services across multiple Defence-focused businesses.


This isn't a traditional IT management role. You'll be the trusted advisor between the business, suppliers, and senior leadership, shaping digital strategy while ensuring technology is secure, compliant, and fit for the future.


You'll oversee Azure, infrastructure, networking, cyber security, and outsourced service providers, while leading a small internal team and driving continuous improvement across the organisation.


What you'll be doing:

  • Leading digital, cloud, and cyber strategy across multiple business units
  • Owning supplier relationships and holding service providers accountable
  • Driving Azure governance, infrastructure modernisation, and cyber resilience
  • Influencing senior stakeholders and shaping long-term technology roadmaps
  • Leading a small IT & Cyber team while delivering operational excellence


We're looking for someone with:

  • Experience leading IT, Cloud, Infrastructure, or Digital teams
  • Strong knowledge of Azure, Cyber Security, Networking, and Enterprise Infrastructure
  • A background managing third-party suppliers and IT service delivery
  • Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to influence at all levels
  • Experience within Defence, Government, or another highly regulated environment
  • SC Clearance (or eligibility to obtain it)


Why join?

  • Play a key role in shaping digital strategy across multiple organisations
  • Work closely with senior leadership and influence business-critical decisions
  • Lead exciting cloud and cyber transformation initiatives
  • Join an organisation where relationships, collaboration, and delivery are valued as highly as technical expertise
  • Hybrid working with genuine opportunities to make a lasting impact


If you're looking for a role that combines leadership, strategy, supplier management, and technology in a highly secure environment, I'd love to tell you more.
