With a competitive salary, bonus scheme and freedom to innovate, this is an opportunity to join a family business with a modern outlook and rich heritage.

At Everards, we’ve been proudly brewing beer and supporting pubs since 1849.

We’re embracing a new chapter, investing in digital transformation to create a secure, connected, and cloud-first IT environment that empowers colleagues across the business.

• Fostering digital confidence and skills across colleagues
• Lead and support cloud migration initiatives, ensuring smooth adoption of new systems and ways of working with strong experience in project management skills
• Act as a key stakeholder partner, building strong relationships across the business to ensure IT changes are understood, adopted, and embedded
• Strengthen cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management to protect business operations
• Develop and maintain IT documentation, processes, and reporting to continuously improve service delivery

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive salary: depending on experience
• Annual bonus scheme linked to performance
• Holidays: 25 days plus bank holidays, with the option to buy/sell additional days
• Wellbeing benefits: Optical/healthcare support with cashback options
• Monthly product allowance: to spend in our Beer Hall or shop
• Pension: Employer contributions up to 5%
• Heritage meets innovation: A chance to shape the IT of a family owned business with over 170 years of history and a bold vision for the future
• Freedom to innovate: your role will be future-focused, exploring improvements and digital opportunities

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience in IT infrastructure management, including Microsoft 365 and Azure.
• Proven track record leading IT operations or support teams.
• A degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or similar would be desirable
• Experience in cloud migration, service delivery, and stakeholder management.
• Ability to work on-site at Everards Meadows, Leicestershire.
• Exposure to Intune, SharePoint optimisation, or ITIL service delivery frameworks.
• Proactive, curious, and confident in driving both day-to-day reliability and long-term digital improvements
