We’re working with one of the UK’s fastest-growing LegalTech businesses — a dynamic and innovation-led company that’s transforming how legal services are delivered through cutting-edge tech. As they scale operations across the UK, they’re searching for a driven and experienced Head of IT to lead the charge on all things infrastructure, compliance, and team development.
This is a high-impact leadership role at the core of the business — ideal for someone who thrives on balancing strategic oversight with hands-on tech delivery. From ensuring ISO27001 compliance and robust networking across offices, to building and nurturing a high-performing IT team, you’ll be steering the IT function through the next phase of growth and maturity.
The business is open to receiving applications from candidates with experience ranging from Senior-level through to Leadership-level, so whether you’re already heading up IT functions or ready to step into your first major leadership role, this could be the opportunity that elevates your career.
You’ll join a forward-thinking, collaborative environment based out of their vibrant London HQ onsite presence required, with occasional travel to UK satellite offices. Here, you’ll work closely with the C-suite, engineering, DevOps, and compliance teams to ensure the company’s infrastructure, tooling, and systems are secure, scalable, and fully aligned with the business roadmap.
While hands-on experience in networking, compliance especially ISO27001, and team management is essential, the wider stack includes technologies like AWS EC2, ECS, S3, Cloudfront, Lambda, containerised environments Kubernetes, Rancher, Docker, monitoring tools PRTG, Kibana, Cloudwatch, scripting Powershell, Python, CI/CD tools Octopus, TeamCity, CodeBuild, Office365, Active Directory, and VOIP.Familiarity is great — but where you're not already an expert, training and support will be provided. What matters most is your appetite to learn, ability to lead, and willingness to grow with the business.
