The Opportunity Our client is a well established service business operating across the UK. They deliver a hands on, operational service to their customers every day, and technology is what holds that operation together. A well run, commercially minded group with a strong position in its market. This is the number one technology role in the business and a seat on the senior leadership team. You will own the strategy, the budget, the systems and the team. It is a hands on role. The function is lean and you will be doing the work as well as directing it. Why The Role Exists The business is investing in a major programme of work across its core business systems, including a full CRM replacement. This is not a refresh. It covers system selection, data migration, integration across the wider estate, cutover and the decommissioning of what is in place today. It will shape how the business sells, serves its customers and grows for the next decade. They want someone to own that programme, not administer it. What You'll Be Doing Systems, architecture and delivery Owning the portfolio of business systems across their full lifecycle, from selection and build through to replacement and decommissioning Leading the core systems and CRM programme end to end, including data migration, parallel running, cutover and decommissioning of the legacy platform Defining and maintaining the systems architecture, integrations, data flows and interface management Making and justifying build versus buy decisions Directing third party development partners against agreed technical standards and delivery commitments Identifying and prioritising opportunities to automate and simplify how the business works Strategy and commercial Defining an IT strategy that supports the commercial strategy of the business Owning the financial planning and reporting for all IT spend, capital and operational, including cloud consumption, licensing and support contracts Preparing budgets, seeking approval and delivering projects within them Negotiating and managing supplier agreements, and making the case for investment in terms of cost, risk and value Keeping the leadership team informed on relevant technical advances and where they could take the business Infrastructure and security Accountable for the IT and telecommunications estate, hardware and software Implementing and maintaining an effective information security framework, including threat assessment and periodic external evaluation Owning security operations end to end, covering vulnerability management, patching, incident containment and post incident review Directing the managed security provider Monitoring, reporting and capacity management across key platforms Team, suppliers and stakeholders Line managing the IT team, setting objectives and supporting development Balancing in house capability against outsourced delivery Managing relationships with external systems providers and service level agreements Supporting sales and account management colleagues with key customers and new prospects Reporting on system performance to key customers Risk, data and continuity Acting as Data Protection Officer for the business Owning data protection, privacy, security and retention policies Defining and testing backup, recovery and disaster recovery processes Owning the IT aspects of the risk register About You Proven experience running IT inside an operational service business, where technology supports the operation rather than being the product Demonstrable delivery of a CRM or equivalent core system replacement at genuine scale, including data migration and legacy decommissioning. You know what goes wrong, because it has gone wrong for you Still hands on. Real depth across a hybrid Microsoft estate, identity and endpoint management, public cloud and network security Experience building and owning an IT budget covering both capital and recurring spend, and negotiating with suppliers Experience leading a small technical team and deciding what is done in house and what is outsourced Commercially minded, able to explain technical risk and investment to people who are not technical Comfortable in front of customers, prospects and suppliers as well as colleagues Certifications such as ITIL 4, CISSP, CISM or BCS membership are welcome, our client is open on route as long as the capability is there Creative. Our client was emphatic on this point. They want somebody who will look at the business and say what could be done differently, rather than wait to be asked What's On Offer Salary of 80,000 to 100,000 depending on experience 6,000 car allowance Hybrid working, minimum two days per week in the office A seat on the senior leadership team with direct access to the Directors Genuine ownership of the technology function and of a major systems programme An established, profitable business with a long track record There is occasional out of hours work to support planned change and major incidents. You will need to be within a sensible commute of Hampshire for two days a week. The Background That Fits This is an operational business, not a software house. The people who do well in this environment have run IT inside businesses where technology supports the operation rather than being the product. Logistics, distribution, field service, installation, utilities, transport, manufacturing, facilities management and similar. If that is your background, you will recognise this environment straight away. This is a role for a Head of IT, or an IT Manager ready to step up, who wants to own the whole picture rather than one slice of it. If you want to lead a systems programme that genuinely changes how a business operates, and you would rather be in the detail than above it, this is worth a conversation. DMA Recruitment specialises in Logistics, Engineering, Manufacturing, Environmental & Recycling, Infrastructure & Construction and Business Services. To our mind, it isn't just a job.

It covers system selection, data migration, integration across the wider estate, cutover and the decommissioning of what is in place today. It will shape how the business sells, serves its customers and grows for the next decade. They want someone to own that programme, not administer it. What You'll Be Doing Systems, architecture and delivery Owning the portfolio of business systems across their full lifecycle, from selection and build through to replacement and decommissioning Leading the core systems and CRM programme end to end, including data migration, parallel running, cutover and decommissioning of the legacy platform Defining and maintaining the systems architecture, integrations, data flows and interface management Making and justifying build versus buy decisions Directing third party development partners against agreed technical standards and delivery commitments Identifying and prioritising opportunities to automate and simplify how the business works Strategy and commercial Defining an IT strategy that supports the commercial strategy of the business Owning the financial planning and reporting for all IT spend, capital and operational, including cloud consumption, licensing and support contracts Preparing budgets, seeking approval and delivering projects within them Negotiating and managing supplier agreements, and making the case for investment in terms of cost, risk and value Keeping the leadership team informed on relevant technical advances and where they could take the business Infrastructure and security Accountable for the IT and telecommunications estate, hardware and software Implementing and maintaining an effective information security framework, including threat assessment and periodic external evaluation Owning security operations end to end, covering vulnerability management, patching, incident containment and post incident review Directing the managed security provider Monitoring, reporting and capacity management across key platforms Team, suppliers and stakeholders Line managing the IT team, setting objectives and supporting development Balancing in house capability against outsourced delivery Managing relationships with external systems providers and service level agreements Supporting sales and account management colleagues with key customers and new prospects Reporting on system performance to key customers Risk, data and continuity Acting as Data Protection Officer for the business Owning data protection, privacy, security and retention policies Defining and testing backup, recovery and disaster recovery processes Owning the IT aspects of the risk register About You Proven experience running IT inside an operational service business, where technology supports the operation rather than being the product Demonstrable delivery of a CRM or equivalent core system replacement at genuine scale, including data migration and legacy decommissioning. You know what goes wrong, because it has gone wrong for you Still hands on. Real depth across a hybrid Microsoft estate, identity and endpoint management, public cloud and network security Experience building and owning an IT budget covering both capital and recurring spend, and negotiating with suppliers Experience leading a small technical team and deciding what is done in house and what is outsourced Commercially minded, able to explain technical risk and investment to people who are not technical Comfortable in front of customers, prospects and suppliers as well as colleagues Certifications such as ITIL 4, CISSP, CISM or BCS membership are welcome, our client is open on route as long as the capability is there Creative. Our client was emphatic on this point. They want somebody who will look at the business and say what could be done differently, rather than wait to be asked What's On Offer Salary of 80,000 to 100,000 depending on experience 6,000 car allowance Hybrid working, minimum two days per week in the office A seat on the senior leadership team with direct access to the Directors Genuine ownership of the technology function and of a major systems programme An established, profitable business with a long track record There is occasional out of hours work to support planned change and major incidents. You will need to be within a sensible commute of Hampshire for two days a week. The Background That Fits This is an operational business, not a software house. The people who do well in this environment have run IT inside businesses where technology supports the operation rather than being the product. Logistics, distribution, field service, installation, utilities, transport, manufacturing, facilities management and similar. If that is your background, you will recognise this environment straight away. This is a role for a Head of IT, or an IT Manager ready to step up, who wants to own the whole picture rather than one slice of it. If you want to lead a systems programme that genuinely changes how a business operates, and you would rather be in the detail than above it, this is worth a conversation. DMA Recruitment specialises in Logistics, Engineering, Manufacturing, Environmental & Recycling, Infrastructure & Construction and Business Services. To our mind, it isn't just a job.

Senior Network Security Consultant Base Salary: £60-75k Benefits: 25 days holiday, private healthcare, twice-yearly bonus + funded professional qualifications Location: Remote (UK) Travel: Occasional travel to customer sites and company offices as required The opportunity: If you re already working at a senior level within network security and want a role where you can take genuine technical ownership of customer environments, this is worth a look. We re working with a growing specialist network and connectivity business that designs, builds and supports complex network environments for large organisations across the UK. Due to continued growth, they re looking to add a Senior Network Security Consultant to the team. This is much more than a 3rd line support position. You ll take projects from initial customer requirements and solution design through to implementation, documentation and ongoing technical ownership. You ll work closely with customers and the commercial team at the pre-sales stage, gathering requirements, designing solutions and presenting those back to the customer before taking the technical lead through delivery. It s a genuinely hands-on consultancy position, but one where you ll have much more ownership around architecture, customer strategy and technical direction. There s a strong investment in technical development too, with relevant professional qualifications and certifications funded as part of the role. Day to day You ll be designing, implementing and supporting network security solutions across complex customer environments. That will include enterprise firewalls, LAN/WAN, VPNs, SD-WAN, ZTNA, SASE, authentication and wider network security technologies, alongside maintaining a strong understanding of routing, switching and networking fundamentals. You ll lead technical projects throughout their lifecycle, producing detailed designs and implementation plans before taking responsibility for successful delivery. There s also an increasing focus on modern security operations, so exposure to areas such as SIEM, SOAR and XDR would be useful. Beyond project delivery, you ll act as a senior technical escalation point, carry out customer security audits and health checks, make recommendations around improving existing environments and provide ongoing technical ownership for nominated customers. You ll also help develop other engineers within the team through technical mentoring, knowledge sharing and internal training. The environments are business-critical, so there is an out-of-hours/on-call element to the role alongside occasional planned maintenance. Who we are looking for You could currently be a Senior Network Security Engineer, Network Security Consultant, Senior Network & Security Engineer or already operating at Network Security Architect level. The important thing is that you ve moved beyond simply supporting network environments. You ll have experience designing solutions, leading implementations and taking technical ownership of customer projects. We re looking for strong networking fundamentals alongside detailed experience across enterprise firewalls, LAN/WAN, VPN, SD-WAN and modern network security architecture. Experience within an MSP, ISP, network integrator or consultancy would translate particularly well, particularly if you re used to working across multiple customers and complex environments. You ll need to be comfortable gathering requirements, producing technical designs, presenting solutions to customers and then remaining involved through implementation and ongoing support. Experience around security compliance frameworks and public-sector environments would be useful, as would exposure to SIEM, SOAR, XDR and infrastructure automation. More than anything, they want somebody who can take technical ownership. Someone who can get into the detail when needed, communicate confidently with customers and be the person other engineers turn to when things get complicated. The Next Steps If you re already working within network security but feel like your current role has become too support-heavy, this is an opportunity to move further into design, consultancy and technical ownership without moving away from the hands-on technology. The role can be based remotely, with occasional travel when needed for customer projects and meetings. If this sounds like the sort of move you ve been looking for, drop me a message or contact Joe White at CRG TEC for a confidential chat about the role.
