The Role

As the Manager, IT Operations & Service Management, you’ll provide leadership and governance across technology operations and service performance, ensuring services remain reliable, resilient and aligned with business requirements.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading operational performance across enterprise technology services, support teams and managed service providers

  • Overseeing ITSM practices across Incident, Problem, Change, Service Request, Asset, Configuration and Service Level Management

This role gives you the opportunity to take ownership across a broad IT operations and service management remit, rather than being limited to a single ITSM process or service area.

You’ll stay close to day-to-day service delivery while having the scope to improve how services are managed, develop the team and drive practical improvements across processes, suppliers and the broader technology environment.
