IT Systems Specialist

Lowry is an internationally acclaimed cultural landmark situated at the heart of MediaCityUK, one of the world’s most exciting culture and media destinations.

​We’re looking for a hands‑on systems administrator who is as strong on people and process as they are on tech.

Your mission is to standardise how our in‑house systems are configured and used, so that the investments we make (e.g., Microsoft 365/SharePoint/Entra, Artifax, core infrastructure and any new platforms) are adopted, sustained, and controlled—not used differently by every team.

​You will build and maintain clear operating standards, training and onboarding, and evidence‑ready controls across our key platforms.

You’ll collaborate with colleagues at all levels to map structures, tidy data, lock in best practice and reduce one‑offs, while also providing responsive IT support and contributing to infrastructure stability and cyber hygiene.

​The role has a number of staff benefits including:

• Complimentary and discounted theatre and live event tickets.
• Free car parking just a few minutes’ walk from the Lowry building.
• Paid day off for your birthday.
• Discounts at the bars, restaurant and gift shop located within the Lowry building.
• Access to Lowry’s Wellbeing Hub and to other health and wellbeing services, including counselling, physiotherapy and remote GP appointments.
• Group Life Assurance Scheme.

​Please note that MediaCityUK is a well-connected destination with a variety of different transport options – bus, car, tram and bike.
