They will have a good understanding of all major operating systems and the configuration management & application delivery platforms, such as Microsoft Intune & Configuration Manager, Jamf and Puppet, used to manage them. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a team whose services reach nearly every single member of staff and student, and the successful candidate will have an opportunity to shape the future delivery and development of these services as we embark on the implementation of the Digital Strategy.What will you be doing? You will provide line management, operational management and leadership of a team of subject matter experts, ensuring the team delivers an effective service to the University. You will take responsibility for the technical management of the services within the team's remit in accordance with ITIL best practice, in pursuit of the overall goal of ensuring that the delivery meets the correct service levels and provides a good customer experience.
