IT Administrator

IT Administrator / IT Manager wanted by a thriving consultancy in Warrington. This is an opportunity to become the company's first dedicated internal IT hire, taking ownership of the IT function as services are brought in-house from a managed service provider.

This IT Systems Administrator / IT Manager role will see you managing day-to-day IT across a modern Microsoft environment supporting around 40 users, with plans for continued growth. You'll be responsible for Microsoft 365, Intune, Entra , endpoint management, security, and user support, helping to build a secure, well‑documented IT environment that can scale with the business.

As an IT Systems Administrator / IT Manager, you'll work closely with the Head of Technology to bring IT services in‑house, implementing Microsoft Intune, managing Windows and iPhone devices, administering Microsoft 365 and Entra , and supporting the company's journey towards ISO 27001 certification. They already hold Cyber Essentials Plus so it's important you understand this too.

• Comfortable working as the primary internal IT contact and managing your own workload
• Strong experience administering Microsoft 365
• Experience with Microsoft Intune and endpoint management (mostly Windows)
• Any other Apple device management software is a bonus (e.g. Jamf, ABM, etc.) as they may move into this instead of Intune
• Solid knowledge of Microsoft Entra , Active Directory, MFA
• Experience with patch management and remote support tools
• SharePoint experience is a bonus although they may be moving away from this
• Strong communication skills with a security‑focused and documentation‑driven approach

It would be great if you had experience bringing IT services in‑house from an MSP but this is not a requirement.

This role offers a salary of £45k – £50k plus benefits, with hybrid working in Warrington and great opportunity for ongoing growth and development.
