Careers

Practitioners, not job titles.

ORBX is hiring engineers, account managers and consultants who want to do the work properly. UK-based, remote-first with regular Manchester team days, hybrid contracts. We pay fairly, train continuously and run a real career framework.

What we hire for

Three roles open now.

We are deliberately small, deliberately senior. We hire when we have the right work for someone, not because we are growing for growth's sake.

Service Desk Engineer (2nd Line)

UK remote with travel £38-48k + benefits Permanent
Open

Work the second-line escalation queue across our managed services book. Servers, virtualisation, M365, Intune, Entra ID. Real engineering work, not first-line ticket churn. You will own incidents end-to-end and write up the post-mortems that go into our knowledge base.

  • 5+ years in 2nd line MSP, in-house IT, or managed services
  • Strong on M365, Entra, Intune, Windows Server, virtualisation
  • Comfortable in PowerShell. Bonus for Azure and automation experience.
  • UK passport or right to work in the UK without sponsorship

Account Manager (Strategic Clients)

UK remote with travel £55-70k OTE Permanent
Open

Own the relationships with our strategic clients. This is not a sales role pretending to be account management. You will run quarterly business reviews, lead account planning, identify growth opportunities, and act as the senior point of contact for the COO or finance director on the client side. Expected to know the business and the technology in equal measure.

  • 5+ years in account management at an MSP, IT services or technology consultancy
  • Comfortable presenting to boards and senior leadership teams
  • Genuinely understands managed services commercials, not just the sales script
  • UK-based with willingness to travel for client meetings

Open

Lead client engagements across ORBX Cloud and ORBX Secure. Cloud assessments, M365 baseline implementations, Cyber Essentials Plus prep, Azure landing zones, M&A integration projects. You will scope the work, lead delivery, and own the client relationship through the engagement. Senior, autonomous, and client-facing.

  • 8+ years across Microsoft 365, Azure and security architecture
  • Microsoft certifications (MS-100, AZ-104, SC-200 or equivalent)
  • Hands-on experience with Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001 frameworks
  • Comfortable scoping engagements, writing proposals and leading delivery
