About the Role

We're supporting a major organisation undergoing a significant digital transformation and modernisation programme. As part of this journey, we're seeking an experienced Infrastructure & Network Manager to play a critical role in stabilising and evolving core IT foundations.

You will be responsible for ensuring 24/7 continuity across infrastructure and network services. You'll lead a skilled team, drive operational excellence, and play a key role in reducing technical debt, strengthening security posture, and introducing automation and operational guardrails.

This is a hands-on leadership role offering a balance of BAU support, continuous improvement, and strategic input into platform evolution.

Key Responsibilities

Operational Excellence & Stability

  • Own and manage day-to-day operations across core infrastructure, including data centres, LAN/WAN, Wi-Fi, and server environments
  • Define, implement, and enforce robust SOPs for backups, disaster recovery, patch management, and hardware lifecycle
  • Ensure reliable connectivity between legacy core systems and modern application platforms
  • Oversee internal security monitoring and collaborate with external security partners (SOC/MDR)
  • Lead incident and problem management activities, including root cause analysis and service restoration

Leadership & Vendor Management

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing infrastructure and network team
  • Act as the primary point of contact for ISPs, vendors, and Managed Service Providers
  • Manage infrastructure budgets, including hardware procurement and vendor spend
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to align infrastructure services with business needs

Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven experience (10+ years) in IT infrastructure management, ideally within a large-scale or complex environment

Strong technical expertise across:

  • Networking (TCP/IP, routing, switching, firewalls)
  • Azure networking (ExpressRoute, VPN)
  • Windows and Linux server environments
  • Virtualisation technologies (VMware / Hyper-V)
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (IaaS and PaaS)
  • Strong working knowledge of Active Directory and associated services (Group Policy, DNS, Sites & Services)
  • Experience managing technical teams and operating in high-pressure environments
  • Solid understanding of IT Service Management (ITSM), including incident, problem, and change management processes
  • Experience with ITSM tools (e.g., Jira) and working within SLA-driven environments
  • Familiarity with legacy systems connectivity (e.g., AS/400 / iSeries) is highly beneficial

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
