Since then, we’ve grown into a trusted consultancy that combines technical excellence with exceptional service. Our teams operate both on-site with clients and remotely, always delivering with integrity and expertise.
The IT Technical Lead Role:
We’re looking for an IT Technical Lead to take the helm of our IT team. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll set the technical direction, provide expert guidance, and roll up your sleeves when needed to resolve incidents or deliver change.
You’ll define and own our IT strategy, champion technical best practices, and ensure our IT estate—from AWS and M365 to mobile devices—is robust, secure, and continuously improving. Working closely with the Delivery & Service Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in making TwinStream’s IT capability a true differentiator.

* Lead delivery of IT change via a Kanban approach, aligned to the IT roadmap.
* Design, maintain, and test our disaster recovery plan.
* Seek out process improvements to elevate IT support and change delivery.
What You’ll Bring:
* Microsoft 365 administration (Teams, SharePoint, Power Automate, compliance, security).
* Microsoft Entra ID (identity, access, integrations, endpoint security).
* AWS & Azure (networking, DNS, security monitoring).
* Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Microsoft365DSC, etc.).
* Backup & Disaster Recovery planning and execution.
* SaaS deployment and support, ensuring compliance.
* Engaging with stakeholders at all levels.
* Desirable extras:
* Knowledge of ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and information security tooling.
