Operational Manager

Description:

We are looking for an Integration Platform Operational Manager to take charge of the daily running and improvement of our Azure integration platform. This role is perfect for someone with an integration background who wants to apply their IT skills in a practical, business‑focused construction environment.

You will oversee Azure services to ensure systems connect securely and efficiently, coordinate with stakeholders across the business, and help optimise cloud costs so that our investment in Azure delivers maximum value. You'll also support both technical and non‑technical colleagues, making sure integrations are reliable and easy to use.

Key focus areas
 

• Azure integration services: Manage and support Logic Apps, API Management, Service Bus, and related components.
• API lifecycle: Oversee API design, monitoring, and performance to ensure smooth connections between applications.
• Cloud cost optimisation: Track and analyse Azure spend, applying knowledge to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
• Stakeholder coordination: Act as the point of contact for system owners (e.g. SuccessFactors and COINS) and internal teams.
   

We are seeking someone with good experience in Azure integration, excellent knowledge of API management and monitoring, and practical skills in cloud cost management. Clear communication is essential, as you will need to explain technical concepts in plain language and coordinate effectively across diverse teams. Experience with Service Bus or similar integration services would be an advantage.
