Lissted’s 2017 Top North East England Digital/Tech Influencers on Twitter

In January 2016 we produced this list of the top influencers in the North East England Digital/Tech community. We got talking to Paul Lancaster recently about the list and whether it was time we took another look.

As previously the lists are based on influence within the North East digital and technology communities themselves i.e. the extent to which others in the those communities are likely to follow and interact with a particular account. There may be NE based accounts that don’t appear in these lists who have significant influence outside the North East, but who perhaps don’t invest the same amount of time building relationships in their backyard.

The results are based on over 650,000 Twitter relationships involving over 1,000 of the top ranked relevant Twitter accounts in the North East.

So here they are, our updated lists of the top digital and tech influencers.

We’re starting with the Top 30 Digital People. Over the next few days we will add the: top digital companies, organisations and agencies, media and people and organisations who aren’t specifically digital, but are very active and known in the community.

Let the arguments about positions and omissions commence! :)

IT Manager Jobs in the UK: A Comprehensive Guide to Opportunities and Career Growth

The role of an IT Manager is one of the most critical in today’s technology-driven business environment. With businesses increasingly relying on technology to improve efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation, the demand for skilled IT Managers in the UK has grown exponentially. From overseeing IT infrastructure to managing teams of IT professionals, IT Managers play a key role in ensuring that an organisation’s technology needs are met.

If you're considering a career as an IT Manager or are currently looking for IT Manager jobs in the UK, this article will guide you through the essential aspects of the role, the skills required, industries that are hiring, and how to find the best opportunities. We’ll also explore why IT Manager roles in the UK are increasingly attractive and what makes the UK a hub for IT career growth.

What is an IT Manager?

An IT Manager is responsible for managing an organisation’s technology infrastructure, overseeing IT operations, and ensuring that IT systems and services support the business goals effectively. They are involved in everything from setting up and maintaining networks to managing cybersecurity measures and coordinating IT teams. Typically, IT Managers work closely with senior management to define technology strategies and implement solutions that enhance operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities of an IT Manager:

Managing IT Infrastructure: This includes overseeing hardware, software, networks, and databases, ensuring that all systems are functioning smoothly and securely.

Team Leadership: IT Managers supervise teams of IT professionals, such as system administrators, network engineers, and support technicians. They are responsible for task allocation, performance reviews, and mentoring.

Project Management: IT Managers are often tasked with leading IT projects, whether it’s the implementation of a new software system or the migration to cloud infrastructure. They are responsible for timelines, budgeting, and resource allocation.

Cybersecurity: Ensuring the organisation’s data and systems are secure from cyber threats is a critical part of the IT Manager’s role. They must stay up to date with the latest security threats and implement protective measures.

Budgeting and Procurement: IT Managers often have to manage budgets for IT resources, hardware, and software purchases. They ensure that IT investments align with the company's objectives and are cost-effective.

Strategic Planning: IT Managers play a crucial role in setting the strategic direction for the company's IT. This includes making recommendations for new technologies that can improve business operations and scalability.

Skills Required for IT Manager Jobs

IT Manager jobs in the UK require a combination of technical expertise and strong leadership abilities. Here are some of the most important skills you need to succeed in this role:

1. Technical Expertise

An IT Manager should have a solid understanding of IT systems and infrastructure. Key areas of expertise include:

Network management: Knowledge of network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and VPNs.

Cloud Computing: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.

Cybersecurity: Strong understanding of network security protocols, data encryption, and cyber threat mitigation strategies.

Systems Management: Experience managing servers, operating systems, databases, and enterprise software.

Software Development: While not always a requirement, knowledge of software development processes, programming languages, and frameworks can be beneficial.

2. Project Management Skills

Given that IT Managers often lead projects, they must possess excellent project management skills. Familiarity with methodologies such as Agile, Waterfall, or Scrum can be helpful. IT Managers should be able to:

Plan, budget, and execute IT projects.

Coordinate with other departments to ensure projects align with business goals.

Manage project timelines, resources, and mitigate risks effectively.

3. Leadership and Communication

IT Managers need to lead and motivate IT teams while liaising with senior management and other departments. Strong leadership skills and the ability to communicate complex technical information in an understandable manner are essential. Key aspects include:

Team management: The ability to delegate tasks, resolve conflicts, and inspire high-performance teams.

Stakeholder communication: Communicating project status, IT-related issues, and strategic plans to non-technical stakeholders.

Vendor management: Negotiating contracts and collaborating with third-party service providers and vendors.

4. Problem-Solving and Analytical Thinking

IT Managers must be able to troubleshoot technical problems and devise innovative solutions. The ability to think analytically and critically about both current challenges and long-term IT strategies is key to the success of an IT Manager.

5. Financial Acumen

An IT Manager needs to have a strong grasp of budgeting and cost control. Managing IT expenses, evaluating software licenses, and making strategic decisions regarding technology investments require financial acumen to balance innovation with cost-effectiveness.

Industries Hiring IT Managers in the UK

IT Managers are needed across various sectors, with certain industries showing particularly high demand. Some of the key industries hiring IT Managers in the UK include:

IT Managers in this industry oversee a wide range of systems, including payment systems, trading platforms, and security infrastructure.

2. Healthcare

As the healthcare sector continues to digitize, the demand for IT Managers in hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers has increased. IT Managers in healthcare oversee systems such as electronic health records (EHR), patient management software, and telemedicine platforms, all while ensuring data privacy and compliance with regulations like GDPR.

3. Retail & E-Commerce

The retail and e-commerce industries require IT Managers to support online stores, manage customer data, and enhance user experiences through technology. IT Managers in these sectors focus on maintaining websites, managing payment systems, and integrating customer relationship management (CRM) tools.

4. Government and Public Sector

Government organisations and public service institutions rely on IT Managers to oversee large-scale IT infrastructures, ensuring that critical services such as education, transportation, and law enforcement operate seamlessly. IT Managers here might deal with large-scale data sets, security measures, and compliance with national regulations.

5. Technology & Startups

Tech companies and startups in the UK are often at the cutting edge of innovation and growth. IT Managers in these companies often wear multiple hats, from managing cloud infrastructure to overseeing product development. The fast-paced nature of startups requires IT Managers who can adapt quickly and drive technological growth.

6. Manufacturing and Engineering

In industries like manufacturing and engineering, IT Managers oversee the integration of technology into production lines, monitor supply chains, and maintain enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. These roles are essential in industries embracing Industry 4.0 and automation.
