In short

I'm an IT Desktop Analyst at Aston Martin F1, supporting HR, Finance, and Commercial – the parts of a season nobody puts on television. Before this I ran the helpdesk for Manshead Academy on the MSP side, was on the IT deployment team at Red Bull Racing, and spent five years on the Genius Bar at Apple. Different rooms, the same shape of problem. The throughline is endpoint work done well, and people who leave the conversation in a better mood than they started it.

About

Casual on the surface, serious underneath.

Josh Bailey

  • Professionally casual

    I'm a personal worker. I incorporate personality, appropriate humour, and relaxed communication to ensure I have the best working relationship with my peers and clients. I thrive on finding fulfilment in interactions and maintaining an approachability rarely seen with IT workers.

  • Serious when it matters

    Despite that, I never let professionalism slip. I've learned how and when casualness can be a liability and professionalism must take centre stage, not as an act, but as a genuine and practised approach to a situation or environment. There is no trust without genuine professionalism.

  • Emotional intelligence & self-awareness

    I'm acutely aware of how I and others around me are likely feeling. Being aware of emotional influence to situations plays a key role in having the best conversations and integrating seamlessly into a business and role.

  • Ambitious

    I strive to achieve above and beyond, and like to show capability for enhanced responsibility. I have a lot to work hard for, but I am conscious that my family depends on bringing home the value of my capability and skills.

Outside work: Milton Keynes, a partner, a daughter born August 2025, metal guitar, Arsenal, and about 190 Spotify playlists.
