Job Description
What will I be doing?
This is a great opportunity for someone from an application support service background, who also enjoys getting involved in a broader range of client development projects.
As a Service Delivery Manager (SDM) within our Data Platform Managed Services team, you will play a crucial role in ensuring client satisfaction, maintaining service excellence, and driving continuous improvements. Your responsibilities will include:
Acting as a primary point of contact for clients, advocating for their needs within the business.
Managing service delivery to ensure high-quality support and adherence to agreed SLAs and KPIs.
Facilitating regular service review meetings with clients to discuss performance, improvements, and future opportunities.
Collaborating with technical teams to identify service enhancements and proactively address potential challenges.
Driving service improvements through structured problem management and root cause analysis.
Ensuring seamless communication and alignment between internal teams and external stakeholders.
Supporting onboarding processes for new clients and driving adoption of best practices.
Monitoring and reporting on service performance, ensuring continuous alignment with business objectives.
Addressing and resolving any client concerns, managing escalations effectively.
There will be regular contact with clients, so applicants must be comfortable discussing technical concepts in clear and concise language. The ideal candidate will be in a similar role or have relative experience from a previous role, during which they would have gained experience in problem solving, managing client expectations and SLA’s. They must have good communication skills, the ability to work to tight time scales and under pressure.
Tell me more...
This is a customer facing position and you will be in daily contact with our customers. We operate a hybrid model but you can expect to be working mainly remote or choose from one of our conveniently located offices (Farnham and London) as well as occasionally working alongside our customers at their offices, so there will be some occasional travel.
You will collaborate closely with teams based in the UK, Bulgaria, and India, working across different time zones to ensure seamless communication and effective service delivery.
There will be a need to occasionally work outside of the normal office hours, but this can be remotely (from your home) and of course this time will be recognised and rewarded.
