IT Infrastructure Manager, Cloud Platform

Overview

This role sits at the centre of a multi-year Azure migration programme, moving several core products from legacy data centres into a modern cloud platform. As IT Infrastructure Manager for Cloud Platform, you will be responsible for how these environments are operated, standardised and scaled once delivered. You will lead the cloud platform team to bring consistency across AWS and Azure, moving from varied legacy practices to a single operating model built around automation, Infrastructure as Code and aligned delivery pipelines.

This is not a pure build role. It focuses on making cloud platforms reliable, supportable and ready for long term product growth. This role suits someone currently operating as a Cloud Platform Manager, Lead Cloud Engineer or Infrastructure Manager in an enterprise or SaaS environment, who wants broader ownership. It offers exposure to a defined transformation programme, but with long term responsibility for platform operations and standards beyond the initial migration.
