  • Administering on-premises and Azure Active Directory, managing access and authorisation

  • Overseeing Microsoft Exchange and Citrix remote PC environments

  • Managing mobile devices (corporate and BYOD) and supporting users with Microsoft Office and Outlook

  • Installing and troubleshooting applications using SCCM and related tools

  • Supporting VMware Horizon virtual desktops, resolving performance, access and connectivity issues

  • Managing software upgrades across trading and infrastructure applications

  • Performing diagnostics and repairs on laptop hardware

  • Enrolling and managing FIDO security tokens to support multi-factor authentication

  • Automating system maintenance and administrative tasks using PowerShell and Jenkins

  • Supporting new employee onboarding by configuring and validating access to systems

  • Troubleshooting workstation and server connectivity issues

  • Providing high-quality, responsive support to users and documenting tickets in Jira

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

  • A bright, motivated individual with a passion for technology

  • Experience in an IT support or service desk role

  • Enthusiastic about using technology and creative thinking to solve complex problems

  • Highly organised, proactive and a collaborative team player

  • Keen to learn and grow within a fast-paced technical environment

  • Strong customer service and communication skills, with a methodical approach to troubleshooting

  • Solid academic background, ideally a 2:1 degree or above, with strong A-levels or equivalent

Why should you apply?

  • Highly competitive salary plus annual discretionary bonus

  • 30 days’ annual leave

  • 9% company pension contribution

  • Comprehensive healthcare and life assurance

  • Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated on-site barista

  • Informal dress code and strong work/life balance

  • Cycle-to-work scheme
