SQL Database Administrator 


Are you a proactive Database Administrator ready to own and optimise a complex SQL estate in a global environment?


If you're seeking a role where your expertise directly supports critical business systems, and you're passionate about performance, availability, and data security, this could be your next career move.


The Opportunity


We’re working with a prestigious global law firm looking to add a skilled Database Administrator to their technology function. In this role, you’ll take responsibility for managing and supporting enterprise-scale Microsoft SQL Server databases that underpin a wide range of legal, financial and operational systems. You’ll work alongside experienced colleagues across application development, infrastructure, data insights and business services, contributing to both day-to-day operations and long-term projects.


This is a hybrid role with 3 days a week in one of the firm’s offices (Central London location), offering a salary of £70,000 – £77,000 depending on experience.


What’s in it for you?



  • Join a global organisation with a strong focus on innovation and cross-border collaboration

  • Work within a modern, professional IT environment with access to up-to-date SQL Server technology (2019/2022)

  • Flexible and agile working practices

  • High visibility across multiple teams and business areas

  • Inclusive, supportive culture that values wellbeing and development

  • Exposure to complex systems and high-availability architecture across an international network


Key Responsibilities & Tech Stack



  • Ensure the availability, performance, and security of enterprise SQL Server databases

  • Proactively monitor systems, implement backups and recovery processes, and optimise performance

  • Support integration and development using tools like T-SQL, SSIS, SSRS, SSAS, Power BI

  • Maintain and develop utilities and scripts to support automation and standardisation

  • Contribute to strategic projects including upgrades, migrations and cloud adoption

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g. finance systems, application support) to deliver effective solutions

  • Leverage experience with SQL Availability Groups, encryption, query tuning, and monitoring tools (e.g. Redgate)


What We’re Looking For



  • Proven experience managing large SQL Server environments in a structured, enterprise setting

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an eye for performance and reliability

  • Comfortable working across multiple business units and translating technical language into business impact

  • A collaborative mindset, you’ll be engaging regularly with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders

  • Experience within professional services, particularly legal or financial services, is desirable but not essential


Keen to learn more? Apply now or get in touch for a confidential chat.
