IT Manager - Western Sydney - 165-175K + Super
Our client is a Australian business with a household name and its own production and warehousing operation. They've grown to the point where IT needs a proper leader to take ownership of modernizing and automating their technology.
The opportunity
You'll own IT end to end: strategy, delivery, vendors and a small internal team. You'll report to the CFO so you'll have direct access to decision makers and no layers in the way.
It's hands-on IT Manager, who will be acting as the escalation point as well as setting the roadmap for the business.
What you'll be doing

- Bringing infrastructure and network management in-house and reducing reliance on external providers
- Building an IT roadmap and getting a sizeable project backlog moving
- Improving a complex legacy environment
- Supporting key business initiatives through technology automation
- Managing specialist vendors on a needs basis and knowing when to call them in
- Documenting systems and knowledge so the business isn't reliant on individuals
What you'll bring
- Hands-on infrastructure depth: Windows Server, VMware, firewalls, switching, wireless and endpoint management
- Experience leading IT in a lean SME or mid-market environment
- Experience managing, transitioning or procuring MSPs and vendors
- Commercial thinking: you bring solutions with a cost and a benefit attached
- Good judgement under pressure, and the ability to tell a real business problem from noise
- A practical, outcome-focused attitude
Bonus points
- Manufacturing, warehousing or distribution background
- Experience integrating inventory, sales and finance systems
Why this role
- A brand-new position with a clear mandate and executive backing
- Broad scope across infrastructure, applications, data, vendors and people
- A leader who will invest in your development
