About MIB

At MIB our people are passionate about making roads safer by getting uninsured and hit-and-run drivers off our roads. Working in partnership with the Police, Insurers and Government our collective aim is to make it a thing of the past but, until that’s accomplished, we’re here to compensate victims quickly, fairly and compassionately.

Last year we helped more than 34,000 people struck by uninsured and hit-and-run drivers and paid over £400 million in compensation to support victims rebuild their lives.

About the role

The role should ensure these platforms are secure, well governed, resilient and properly supported, while working with Data and AI teams to provide the platform foundations needed for MIB to become more data-driven and customer-led.

•    Manage internal engineers, technical specialists and third-party partners to deliver reliable, secure, standardised and supportable platform services.
•    Provide performance, risk, capacity, resilience, cost and change-readiness reporting to support prioritisation, investment decisions and executive assurance.

Skills and Experience

•    Strong practical knowledge of Microsoft Azure, hybrid infrastructure, networking, endpoint management, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery and operational tooling.
