We’re looking for a Service Delivery Manager who can manage a portfolio of Communications and Managed Services customers and be the person they trust to keep things running well, improve what isn’t and speak plainly when it matters.
You will be confident to own customer relationships end to end, bring structure where it’s needed and calmly drive better outcomes when things get complex. This is a hands-on role with real influence, not a reporting-only position.
This role will suit someone with a strong operational background in IT or Managed Services such as service desk management or a team leader/service analyst/service coordinator who wants to step up into service delivery.
This role can be based in our Birmingham or Bolton office, we offer hybrid working with 3 days on site per week. You’ll be working in a team of 5, with no direct reports, with a focus on establishing what good service delivery looks like.
