Planit is a place-based design practice of Landscape Architects, Urban Designers and Visual Storytellers working across five studios in the UK. We’re looking for our first dedicated in-house IT Manager to oversee all our Information Technology requirements.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference, as you’ll be ultimately responsible for the smooth running and development of all our systems, working in conjunction with our third-party support partner.
Key responsibilities:
Managing and working alongside our IT support partner to address IT-related matters, and extend fixes efficiently across the practice; realising a shift from problem-solving to solution-finding
Collaborating with external providers to continually enhance and monitor cyber security, including implementation and adherence to Cyber Essentials
Scoping and delivering future projects to develop our in-house IT systems, policies and processes
Advising the business on IT strategy and appropriate technical infrastructure
Interfacing with our internal Technical Working Group to define and implement practice-wide IT protocols, develop efficiencies, and improve technical standards
Maintaining inventory of all team members’ IT equipment, maintain their efficiency, implement a rolling programme of renewals, plus decommissioning and appropriate disposal.
Purchasing, setting up and management of all devices, such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones
Purchasing and allocating software licences including Vectorworks, Adobe, Affinity, Microsoft 365 and Autodesk
Solid knowledge and experience of managing Apple Macs is absolutely essential, alongside a good understanding of Windows Server technologies, backup strategies, Office 365 Admin, and best practice security principles. Any prior experience in Apple device management software would be distinctly advantageous. You will need to be proactive, self-driven, and able to work under pressure and to meet deadlines.
As an effective communicator and collaborator, you will interact with team members, and provide regular updates to the IT Lead, Richard Line, and the Operations Board. We’d expect you to recommend and implement improvements to our systems and workflows to enable the business to run more efficiently and increase our team’s productivity. Assessment of new technology and its potential application will be required to inform robust Business Cases associated with investment, development and training.
Experience working within a similar role in a creative design studio or the built environment sector would be an advantage but not essential; likewise, an understanding of industry-specific IT protocols (BIM/FTPs/BS or ISO standards relating to IT management).
This full-time role (37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday) is based in our Greater Manchester headquarters in Altrincham. The role will involve regular travel (expenses paid) to our four studios across the UK to provide IT support and advice on site as needed. A full UK Driving Licence will be required.
Planit is an Employee-Owned business, with each co-owner taking personal responsibility within their areas of expertise for the benefit of the team, and success of the practice as a whole. As an accredited B Corp, we prioritise people, planet, and profit equally, and welcome candidates who share these values. Balancing environmental and social considerations within purchasing decisions, identification of digital solutions and disposals will be a pertinent facet of this role.
We support our team by providing benefits that include a minimum of 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, flexible start and finish times (core working hours are 10.00am to 4.30pm), company pension, enhanced maternity and paternity pay, support with professional fees, learning and development, and an annual study allowance.

Cambridge University Press & Assessment
Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge, UK
Job Title: Lead Software Architect
Salary: £68,600 to £91,700
Location: Cambridge, UK – Hybrid
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full time, 35 Hours Per Week
Are you enthusiastic about shaping technology that delivers impact at scale?
As we continue to evolve our digital platforms to support learners, lecturers and researchers around the world, we are looking to appoint an experienced and motivated Lead Software Architect to join our Academic Technology group here at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world‑leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.
This is a fantastic opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping the technical foundations of globally used digital products, ensuring they remain scalable, secure and fit for the future.
About the role
As Lead Software Architect, you will be accountable for owning the software architecture and engineering delivery across a product or platform vertical within our Academic Technology group.
Working at the intersection of solution architecture, product and engineering, you will translate solution designs and product priorities into well‑architected, shippable software, ensuring that technical direction is sound and delivery is sustained from planning through to production and live operation.
You will provide technical leadership across the full engineering lifecycle, including backend and frontend architecture, infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and operational readiness. While this is not primarily a hands‑on coding role, it requires a strong engineering background and the ability to review code, challenge design decisions, unblock engineers and engage directly where it adds value.
A core aspect of the role is leading the adoption of AI‑enhanced engineering practices. You will shape how teams use AI‑assisted tooling across planning, development and quality assurance, focusing on responsible, practical use that measurably improves delivery quality, throughput and maintainability.
You will work closely with Solution Architects, Product Owners and UX colleagues to ensure requirements are technically feasible, well specified and correctly decomposed, acting as the key technical bridge between solution intent and engineering execution.
Additional responsibilities and accountabilities:
Owning the software architecture for an assigned product or platform area, ensuring solutions support both current delivery and future scalability.
Driving engineering delivery from planning through to production, translating solution designs into implementable engineering plans with clear scope, dependencies and sequencing.
Providing technical leadership and direction to distributed engineering teams, including Far shore, near shore and contract resources.
Removing technical blockers, making pragmatic trade‑off decisions and keeping delivery on track.
Defining and upholding technical standards, patterns and engineering conventions.
Leading the adoption of AI‑assisted software development practices and tooling across engineering teams.
Owning operational readiness, including infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and developer experience.
Evaluating technology and tooling choices, including build‑vs‑buy decisions, with clear and defensible rationale.
This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long-term health condition.
About You
As a senior software architecture or engineering leader, you will have a proven record of owning complex platforms or digital products end‑to‑end. You will be confident operating across technical and non‑technical audiences, bringing sound judgement, strong communication skills and a pragmatic approach to decision‑making.
You will have experience translating product and solution designs into engineering delivery, leading distributed teams, and balancing technical quality with delivery pace in complex environments.
If you meet the above minimum requirements, we encourage you to apply.
Your application will be even stronger if you can also demonstrate experience in content platforms, education technology, modern web technology stacks, or introducing new engineering tools and practices.
