IT Manager

When systems stall… you get them moving again.

Scanners stop scanning. Printers refuse to print. Networks wobble. And then, you step in.

You’re hands-on and in the action, fixing issues before they slow the operation down. You keep devices connected, systems running, and the warehouse moving at full speed. At MyRunway, IT support isn’t desk-bound. It’s practical, fast, and impact-driven.

This is a standalone IT Manager role with no direct reports, working closely with external IT vendors for escalations and specialised support when required.

If you love real-time problem-solving and thrive in a fast-paced operational environment, this one’s for you.

The Hard Truth: Not For Everyone

• High-Stakes Visibility: When a system fails, you are the most watched person in the building. You must be able to work with a cool head while everyone is looking to you for an immediate fix.

• The Action Factor: You won't be sitting at a desk all day. You will be on the move, on the floor, and under desks. It is a physically active role that requires you to be where the problems are.

• Firefighting is the Job: Some days are pure chaos. Technology breaks at the most inconvenient times, and you have to prioritize business survival over your own to-do list.

If you’re reliable, proactive, and genuinely enjoy keeping operations running smoothly behind the scenes. We would love to hear from you.
