Infrastructure Manager Manchester Salary up to £62,000 Office-based for the first 3 to 6 months, then hybrid with 2 days onsite If you’re an Infrastructure Manager who still likes to stay close to the tech, but knows your real value is in building, guiding, and elevating a team, this could be exactly the move you’ve been waiting for. This isn’t a turnaround job. You won’t be walking into chaos or cleaning up someone else’s mess. Instead, you’re stepping into a well-structured, cloud-first environment, leading a capable team, and helping a global business continue to evolve the right way. Why this role stands out A modern, cloud-led setup with minimal legacy baggage Less firefighting, more impactful work A small, skilled team that’s already performing well You’re here to lead and develop, not rebuild Meaningful project work, especially around cloud migrations and integrating newly acquired businesses A global organisation (UK, US, Australia, New Zealand and more) with around 400 users International exposure without unnecessary complexity A culture built on trust and autonomy You’ll be given the space to lead, not micromanaged Some genuinely unique perks Optional on-call rota for additional earnings What you’ll be doing This is a hands-on leadership role within a lean team structure. You’ll sit close enough to the tech to stay sharp, while owning the bigger picture. Day to day, you’ll be: Leading and supporting a multi-level support team (1st to 3rd line) Owning escalations and ensuring issues are resolved properly, not just quickly Driving infrastructure projects, particularly cloud migrations and business integrations Working with stakeholders across multiple regions and time zones Continuously improving the environment rather than just maintaining it There’s plenty happening—new acquisitions, ongoing migrations, and constant opportunities to modernise. You won’t be short of challenges, but they’re the right kind. The tech landscape This is a cloud-first environment, not one weighed down by legacy infrastructure. You’ll be working across: Microsoft 365 ecosystem including Entra ID / Azure AD and Intune Azure infrastructure and services Cloud telephony platforms such as 8x8 Modern endpoint management and device provisioning Backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning Migration of inherited on-prem systems into the cloud There is some legacy from acquisitions, but the direction is clear: simplify, modernise, and move forward. What they’re looking for This role sits right at the intersection of technical capability and people leadership. You’ll need to bring: Proven experience leading infrastructure or support teams Confidence in managing people, including the difficult conversations A strong technical background in cloud-first environments The ability to stay hands-on when needed and lead from the front Experience delivering projects, ideally including migrations or acquisitions Strong communication skills and a collaborative, approachable style If you’re highly technical but prefer to stay in the background, this probably isn’t the right fit. This role needs someone visible, engaged, and influential. Why this role is open The current Infrastructure Manager is retiring. This is a planned transition, not a reactive hire. You’ll be stepping into a function that’s already working and given the opportunity to take it further. The bottom line If you’re looking for a role where you can stay technical, lead a good team, influence real change, and operate in a grown-up, trust-based environment, then this is well worth a conversation. Tilt Recruitment are specialists in IT Recruitment. We work hard to find our candidates their perfect roles within fantastic organisations across the UK. If this role isn’t right for you, please still get in touch with us as we may have other roles which may suit you better.
