About The Position

We're looking for a hands-on, execution-focused IT Infrastructure Manager to drive the digital reliability of our core backend architecture. Reporting directly to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), you will bridge high-level strategy and day-to-day execution, focusing entirely on networks, servers, and cloud environments while partnering closely with the Modern Workplace team. Lead, mentor, and drive execution across two core backend pillars: Systems (Cloud First) and Network Architecture. Drive the continuous migration and management from legacy infrastructure to automated, software-defined environments (AWS/Azure/GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Manage, secure, and optimize global corporate and cloud networking architectures (SD-WAN, SASE, VPNs, switches/routers) to ensure uninterrupted connectivity across all sites. Partner collaboratively with local IT departments across the EMEA region to harmonize core technology stacks and drive unified infrastructure standards. Target 99.9%+ availability for critical backend systems, actively managing major Incident, Problem, and Change workflows for the infrastructure layer. Manage the I&O budget, utilizing FinOps methodologies to control cloud consumption and optimize backend hardware procurement. Maintain, test, and evolve robust Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plans tailored for cloud and hybrid footprints. Partner directly with the CISO to embed DevSecOps security into core backend systems, ensuring strict alignment with GDPR, NIS2, and European compliance mandates.
