Software IT Manager

Our client are a fabulous team of gadget-makers, sports lovers, and code wranglers building the future of athletic performance. Their innovations blend hardware wizardry with clever software to help elite athletes (and regular folks aiming high) reach peak performance worldwide. Think neon-lit training arenas, data dashboards, and instant feedback that actually matters—all built in-house by our passionate, diverse crew.

Software IT Manager means you are the Go-To Tech Maestro.
If you love to solve tough tech problems, herd cross-functional cats, and keep the “wow” factor high for our users, you might just be our clients next key playmaker.
This isn’t your average product support job. You’ll be the nerve centre connecting engineers, support, design, commercial—but also the calm in the storm when things get busy. You’ll help craft new versions of gear and keep the support machine running as they spread across the globe. In short: they need someone who can juggle, problem-solve, strategize, and make it all look (almost) easy.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Shape the product roadmap: Figure out what users (and the market) really want by listening, researching, and translating  needs into action plans.
Tinker with cool electronics: Work with embedded systems—think Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, and custom sensors. Help turn “what if?” into “it works!”
Bridge the hardware-software divide: Speak both “engineer” and “user,” aligning firmware whizzes and web wizards so everything works seamlessly together.
Be the cross-team MVP: Connect development, QA, manufacturing, and more. Keep communication flowing and quality high.
Own support & escalation: Be an ace troubleshooter, building a global technical support framework that keeps customers (and the ops team) smiling.
Keep the knowledge flowing: Create clear product docs, setup guides, and FAQs so even newest team members can sound like experts.
Watch product health: Define and monitor KPIs, coordinate upgrades, and plan for what comes next (including gracefully retiring older units).The Kind of Person You Are

Born problem solver: You’ve led technical support for complex products, preferably in electronics or gadgets that combine software and hardware.
Tech confident: Deep grounding in embedded systems, electronics, and/or real-world engineering.
Leader and listener: You know how to manage ticketing systems, handle out-of-hours calls (sometimes with coffee in hand), and communicate with humans on every team.
Documentation whiz: You can explain a gnarly setup routine 
Ready for adventure: Some travel (UK + globally) to meet customers, help with installations, or fly the company flag at industry gigs.Bonus Points If:

You’ve wrangled Arduinos, Atmel, Raspberry Pi, PHP, MariaDB, and Git repos before.
You speak “sports tech” or have worked on IoT devices.
You know your way around things like Linux servers, networking, and JIRA.
Benefits:

£40 - £50k DOE
Pension
Parking on Site
