System Performance & Reliability – Ensure the resilience and efficiency of our Azure infrastructure, focusing on SQL performance and system uptime.
SQL & DevOps Oversight – Lead a DevOps team of five, alongside two security and compliance specialists and a SQL expert to maintain database health and integration efficiency.
Leadership & Process Improvement – Drive security, DevOps, and reliability strategies, ensuring alignment between technical teams and business goals.

What We Are Looking For:

Technical background, ideally in DevOps, but now focused on leadership and strategy.
Previous experience with Azure and modern DevOps practices.
Strong understanding of ISO management, security policies, and compliance.
A people person who can motivate and manage technical teams.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and organisational skills.
Passionate about process improvement, efficiency, and business growth.
