Role Profile As a Senior Workplace Technology Engineer at Two Circles, you look after the tools and technologies our Two Circlers use remotely and in our offices so we can build a better future for the Sports and Entertainment industry.
To be as flexible as possible with all our employees and empower them to make their own decisions about where, when and how to work, we run a mixture of Windows and Mac devices and leverage a variety of SaaS applications that Two Circlers use both remotely and in our 10 global offices.
Those sites have minimal on-prem infrastructure other than 3 rd party commodity networking and collaboration tech to help with hybrid working.
Our Lead Workplace Technology Engineer will own these platforms and capabilities to ensure Two Circlers can get the best from the technologies that support them, using their experience and knowledge to drive further improvements and recommend enhancements and new solutions, while developing and mentoring our other Engineers.

This provides ample opportunities to influence the direction of Two Circles' Technology Operations strategy, own delivery of a wide range of work, and further develop your own knowledge of technologies, systems, approaches and practices.
When you are not delivering against specific projects or contributing to effective Workplace Technology activities, you are spotting opportunities to add value or realise improvements, working on your own professional development and learning objectives or sharing knowledge with other Two Circlers.
