Barden is working with a well established retail business to hire a hands on IT Manager. With a nationwide store estate, a busy eCommerce operation, and plans to double in size over five years, this is a chance for real ownership of a retail IT environment.
Reporting to the CFO with one direct report, you’ll cover everything from day to day store and online support to bigger projects – new store openings, and POS/network upgrades.
ABOUT THE ROLE
- The role starts out weighted toward hands on work, at roughly 70% hands on and 30% strategic.
- Own IT across stores, support office, warehouse, and eCommerce – POS, network, infrastructure, and application stack.
- Lead day to day operations and incident response, working alongside one IT Support direct report.
- Manage external vendors/MSPs on service, cost, and delivery.
- Keep the environment secure and compliant (GDPR, PCI-DSS).
ABOUT THE PERSON
- Strong IT operations background in retail or multi-site environments – hands-on retail experience is what sets you apart.
- Genuinely hands on, not someone who stays above the detail.
- Solid infrastructure skills: networks, firewalls/VPNs, Wi-Fi, Windows endpoints/servers, M365/Azure AD.
- Practical experience with retail platforms (POS, Business Central, Power BI, Shopify or similar).
- Vendor management track record across multiple sites.
OTHER DETAILS
Full time, Permanent, Dublin, four days onsite.
Travel to stores nationwide is a key part of the role.
