Reporting to the Deputy Director of People & Culture, you will oversee the secure administration of our Google Workspace and internal systems, ensuring strong data handling practices, GDPR compliance, and seamless access for our volunteer teams.

You will balance governance and operational support, managing permissions, enforcing security controls, and acting as a key point of contact for internal helpdesk queries. Your work will ensure that our digital infrastructure is secure, compliant, and enabling rather than restrictive.

This role has a flexible start time; we are looking for someone who can start as soon as possible.
