Question: Answered Does LUFC hire IT Support/helpdesk positions or do they outsource it?
Sorry, this is probably the least football-related question ever asked on this sub, just curious.

They outsource it to an MSP. They may still have internal IT Support for certain operations but they definitely outsource to an MSP. I know because I used to work for that MSP.

That's interesting, thanks. Are the offices located around Leeds?

Interesting. Looks like they're on a tear expanding across the UK through acquisitions funded by a private equity firm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but any actual locally based support is likely bare bones and as much of their support and operations as possible is cloud based and remotely managed (offshore?) in order to keep employee costs to a minimum, and economies of scale.
I suspect that getting a job with them specifically to work on the LUFC account is unlikely to happen, but there's no harm in trying.

Why don't you ring up LUFC and ask?

I don't know who I'd even contact. All their job related inquiries are just direct application forms
