## Job description

## About us

At Trainline, our purpose is to [empower greener travel choices, connecting people and places.](https://www.thetrainline.com/terms/sustainability-faqs) Trainline enables millions of travellers to find and book the best value tickets across carriers, fares, and journey options through our highly rated mobile app, website, and B2B partner channels. Great journeys start with Trainline 🚄 We’re Europe’s leading independent rail platform, helping millions of travellers find and book the best-value rail and coach journeys across our app, website and partner channels. Our job is to make the green travel choice the best choice. By building a better train travel experience, we help more people choose rail - creating a positive impact for customers, our business and the planet. We’re a team of more than 1,000 Trainliners from over 50 nationalities, working across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. Now is a brilliant time to join us and help shape the future of travel. Introducing the Workplace Technology team at Trainline 👋 Our Workplace Technology team owns and manages the corporate technology stack of business and workplace solutions, driving innovative, cost efficient, future ways of working. The Tech Support team is a critical part of the Workplace Technology team, ensuring Tier 2 and Tier 3 support services are delivered effectively and efficiently within a culture of continual service improvement, aligned to Trainline values. The team is principally responsible for end user computing across a MacOS estate under central management using JAMF Pro, and a Microsoft Windows estate integrated with Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Windows Servers. This is a highly visible team, also providing dedicated AV/VC support for meeting rooms and internal events — ensuring high availability, instilling trust, and enabling a seamless experience for Executive-level presenters.

## About the Role

This is not just a senior technical position — it is a leadership role within the team. We are looking for someone who takes genuine ownership: of problems, of standards, of team capability, and of the overall service we deliver to Trainliners. You will be the go-to person when things get complex, the one who sets the bar for quality, and the one who actively lifts others to reach it. You will work closely with the Workplace Technology Lead, acting as a technical anchor for the team — driving consistency, mentoring your peers, championing best practices, and making sure nothing important falls through the cracks. If you see something that isn't right, you fix it. If a junior engineer is stuck, you help them through it. If a process is broken, you own improving it. As a Senior IT Support Analyst, you'll be responsible for... 🚝 Technical Leadership & Team Ownership

- Owning the leavers process for sensitive cases — coordinating deprovisioning, data access controls, and asset recovery in line with CISO and privacy requirements
- Supporting MFA rollout, access policy governance, and SSO governance initiatives with appropriate rigour and documentation
- Ensuring all advice given to the team is backed by security sign-off and documented reference — not informal Slack approvals Documentation, Process & Continuous Improvement
- Owning and continuously improving the team's knowledge base — SOPs, runbooks, known error records, and onboarding guides must be accurate, accessible, and up to date
- Identifying process inefficiencies and owning their improvement: not just flagging them but designing, implementing, and embedding the fix
- Driving automation and tooling improvements — proposing and where possible implementing AI, ML, and scripting solutions that reduce toil and improve consistency
