IT Service Desk Team Lead - Microsoft / Windows - Hull Are you the kind of Service Desk person who's ready to lead, but doesn't want to lose the technical side entirely? We're working with a business that's restructuring its IT function and creating a brand-new role for it. This isn't a tired, "step into someone else's shoes" position - it's being built from scratch around whoever takes it on. What you'll be doing This isn't a purely hands-off management role. You'll be: Leading a team of four 1st and 2nd line Service Desk analysts day to day Owning workload allocation, escalations, and making sure incidents get resolved within SLA Getting your hands dirty with tickets yourself when the team needs bolstering Building out proper incident, problem and request management processes - a lot of this currently lives in people's heads, not in documentation Acting as the escalation point for the complex or high-priority stuff Reporting service desk performance up to senior leadership, in language they can actually use What they care about Yes, they want solid Service Desk management experience. But more than that, they want: Someone who's genuinely proud of the work they do, not just clocking in Someone ready to take a step up - this could be your first lead role, and that's fine A person comfortable being hands-on with the team while still owning the bigger picture If you've been deputising, mentoring informally, or covering for a lead when they're out, that counts. You don't need to already hold the title to be right for this. The technical bit A few years' experience in IT Service Desk or IT support, ideally with some team responsibility already Comfortable with ITSM tools and ticketing systems Solid grounding in a Microsoft 365 / Azure / Windows environment Confident communicator - with your team, and with senior leadership Why this is worth a look Most Service Desk Lead roles are about maintaining what's already there. This one isn't. You'll be shaping how the team actually works, not inheriting someone else's system You'll report directly into a newly-appointed Director who's heavily investing time in getting this right There's a genuine growth story here - the department's been expanding steadily, and this role sits right in the middle of that If you're ready to lead a team properly, without giving up the technical side entirely, this is one to look at.

Lead Software Engineer - .NET / Azure / React - Remote First Are you the kind of Lead Software Engineer who enjoys taking a fairly messy collection of systems, data feeds, portals, and legacy platforms and gradually turning it into something modern, scalable, and genuinely slick? Maybe even enjoy the challenge of untangling it all a bit? Right now, the business has multiple products and platforms sitting across different environments. Some modern. Some older. Some nobody really wants to touch. The long-term goal is to bring everything together into a much more unified Azure-based platform with cleaner architecture, better product delivery, and a far more connected customer experience. This position will sit directly under the Head of Technology and will effectively become the senior hands-on engineering lead across the core platform estate. Primarily remote, the office is based in London, and you ll need to be able to get there on occasion for quarterly meetings and the odd product / development session. You must be UK based for this position. What we are looking for: Strong Senior / Lead .NET Developer background Deep experience with .NET, Azure, SQL, and modern backend architecture Some frontend experience with React or Angular (this is heavily backend leaning, not a 50/50 split) Strong experience building business-critical platforms, customer portals, subscription systems, or data-heavy products Comfortable working closely with Product, Data, and third-party engineering teams rather than just sitting in a delivery silo Someone commercially minded who understands that technology still needs to drive product value and business outcomes Advantageous skills include experience with: Python Data platforms / Databricks / AI-enabled environments Fintech, insurance, banking, or other near real-time data-driven environments Modernising legacy systems and architecture The bigger picture: The business is building towards a much more unified product and data ecosystem across multiple life-event and data services. The long-term vision is a single platform experience where customers can access subscriptions, insights, notifications, and increasingly intelligent data-driven products through one scalable environment. There is a lot of greenfield thinking alongside a lot of existing complexity. If you want a role where you can help shape the direction of a modern platform rather than just maintain tickets in someone else s sprint board, this is worth a conversation.
