UK IT Operations Lead | Fast-Growing Tax Consultancy | Central London | £70-80k
Our client is the UK arm of a leading European tax advisory group. Launched recently with a team of highly experienced tax professionals, predominantly ex-Big 4, they are growing fast, from 20 people today to 100+ over the next 12–18 months.
They are hiring their first dedicated IT professional in the UK to own their technology operations and help them scale.
The Role
This is a hands‑on, ownership‑heavy position for someone who gets things done of their own back. You’ll be the go‑to for everything IT in their London office – from M365 administration and device procurement to onboarding new starters and building out internal systems as they grow.
This isn’t a purely strategic architecture role, but you’ll need genuine technical depth – particularly across Azure, M365, and cyber security – combined with the pragmatism to keep things running smoothly day to day.
What You’ll Own
- Microsoft 365 administration and day-to-day IT support
- Azure tenant management and Entra ID / identity administration
- Cyber hygiene – patch management, MFA compliance, device encryption, and incident response
- New starter setup – accounts, access, devices, and permissions
- Password manager and software licence administration
- Equipment procurement and device logistics
- Defining SharePoint structure and internal documentation
- Liaison with the wider Group IT function in Europe
What We’re Looking For
- Solid M365, Azure, and Entra ID experience
- A working knowledge of Microsoft Defender and core InfoSec protocols
- A proven self-starter – you spot a problem and fix it, you don’t wait to be told
- Experience supporting a fast-growing or startup environment
- Comfortable being the sole IT professional in the business
- Based in or able to commute to Central London 4 days a week
Why This Role?
- Ground‑floor opportunity to build and shape an IT function from scratch
- Real scope to grow a team as the business scales to 100+
- AI‑first business backed by an established European group
- High‑calibre, collaborative team of ex-Big 4 professionals
