Overview We’re looking for an experienced IT Support/Mac Support Specialist to support the setup of a small, highly focused IT function within a regulated and complex environment.

  • Configure and maintain Mac devices at a deep technical level (command line/system-level)
  • Implement and maintain device management using tools such as Jamf
  • Apply infrastructure-as-code principles to device management and configuration
  • Troubleshoot and resolve end-user issues relating to Mac devices
  • Work directly with users to diagnose and fix technical problems
  • Deliver solutions independently based on high-level requirements
  • Proactively identify, implement, and improve technical solutions
  • Operate in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision
  • Contribute both strategically (designing solutions) and tactically (hands-on execution)

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong hands-on experience managing MacBook environments (non-negotiable)
  • Deep technical understanding of macOS, including command line and system configuration
  • Proven experience managing device fleets using Jamf
  • Experience applying infrastructure-as-code principles to end user compute
  • Experience working in IT support or end user support functions
  • Ability to troubleshoot issues and work directly with users
  • Highly proactive, self-sufficient, and delivery-focused mindset
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to propose and implement solutions
  • Experience working across multiple organisations in similar roles (3-5 years minimum)
  • Strong communication skills with ability to translate technical issues to users

Nice to Have

  • Experience working in regulated environments (eg NHS, Telecoms, Finance)
  • Experience within government or public sector environments
  • Experience with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Entra, Zscaler, Microsoft support tooling
  • Experience delivering solutions across both small and large organisations
