This is an ownership role for someone who has run IT inside a startup or scaleup - an IT manager or senior sysadmin who likes getting their hands dirty. You'll lead our side of major platform migrations, working with our delivery partners, making the technical calls and landing each cutover cleanly. On top of that you'll build the automation that takes repetitive, manual work off the whole company's plate. Just as important: you're someone colleagues across the business genuinely enjoy working with. You can explain technical things in plain language, you keep people in the loop, and you bring calm to fast-moving change. If you like owning real problems end-to-end, building things that last, and seeing your work quietly save the company hours every week, this is the role for you. You'll work within the Enterprise Technology function, alongside our Implementation and Security colleagues and in close partnership with the business. Own our platform migrations * Lead Multiverse's side of vendor-led platform migrations across identity, endpoint security and service management - directing delivery partners, making the technical calls, and landing each cutover cleanly. * Bring order and momentum to fast-moving programmes, keeping change on track as priorities shift around you. Build automation that removes real work * Spot the manual bottlenecks across Enterprise Technology and design smarter, automated workflows - from user provisioning and licence management to compliance reporting and support triage. * Build with whatever fits the problem - scripting, no-code or workflow tooling - and own it end-to-end, so it's documented, monitored and understood by the whole team, not just you. Keep our systems solid and well-run * Keep our core systems - identity, endpoint, SaaS and security tooling - reliable, secure and well-administered as the business grows. * Bring a security-aware lens to everything you build, so automation is safe by design, with monitoring and error handling that fails visibly, not silently. Work well with the whole business * Translate technical detail into plain, useful language for non-technical colleagues, and keep people informed as you go. The best solutions are the ones people actually understand and trust. We value different perspectives and a variety of backgrounds. We care about how you think and the standard you hold yourself to as much as any single line on your CV., * A genuinely high-impact role - your work will touch the whole business, not just tickets in a queue. * Real ownership from day one, in a lean, collaborative team where your judgement is trusted and your work is visible. * A clear path to grow - this role can develop into more engineering- or product-adjacent work as you do, within a wider technology org of around 25-30 people. Multiverse is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We're happy to make reasonable adjustments throughout the hiring process - just let us know what you need. ## Related Videos - [HR ROBO SAPIENS: Decoding AI Agents and Workflow Automation for Modern Recruitment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1470-hr-robo-sapiens-decoding-ai-agents-and-workflow-automation-for-modern-recruitment) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Create a Programmatic SEO Project Using Next.js and Static Site Generation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/449-create-a-programmatic-seo-project-using-next-js-and-static-site-generation) - [Get Your Stack Together: Building the Right Recruiting Tech](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1295-get-your-stack-together-building-the-right-recruiting-tech) - [Why Your Best Mediors Never Become Seniors (And How to Fix It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2108-why-your-best-mediors-never-become-seniors-and-how-to-fix-it) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer)
