IT Manager

LUXUAV is an innovative technology company headquartered in Luxembourg, shaping next generation airspace security for defence, civil, firefighting and police missions. We build a fully integrated Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) ecosystem that connects mission systems across ground, air, and stratosphere into one coherent governmental and commercial architecture.

Role overview:

The IT Manager owns LUXUAV's IT and information-security operations end-to-end. This starts as a standalone, deeply hands-on role: you personally build and run the corporate and lab IT environment - network, endpoints, identity and user support - and put in place the security controls a defence-grade UAV company needs. You do the work yourself today and help scale the function, including a second hire, as the company grows.

Key Responsibilities

IT Support & Governance

• Run day-to-day IT hands-on: user support, onboarding/offboarding, hardware, software and the productivity stack.
• Manage the IT budget, licensing, suppliers and the approved-software catalogue.

Infrastructure & Systems

• Install, configure and maintain on-premise servers and infrastructure (compute, storage, virtualisation, backups) for corporate and lab needs, with hardening and secure remote management.
• Build and operate the corporate and lab networks: segmentation, firewalls, Wi-Fi and secure remote access (VPN or zero-trust).
• Manage the endpoint fleet, primarily Windows (with the occasional Linux host)

Applications & Platforms

• Lead the migration to and administration of the Microsoft 365 stack (Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint/OneDrive, Entra ID, Intune), with secure configuration..
• Administer the source-code and DevOps platform (GitHub Enterprise or Azure DevOps): access control, repository and pipeline security, secrets management and SSO integration, in coordination with the engineering teams.
• Administer business applications and line-of-business solutions (CRM/ERP such as Odoo, and others): user access, configuration, integrations, updates and vendor management.

Security & Compliance

• Operate identity and access: SSO, MFA and joiner-mover-leaver workflows.
• Put in place and maintain practical security policies and controls, working towards an ISMS aligned to ISO/IEC 27001.
• Run vulnerability and patch management with clear priorities and remediation.
• Lead incident response: detect, contain, resolve and learn.

Experience & Skills

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in computer science, IT, information security, or equivalent hands-on experience.
