Our client is looking for a Service Delivery Manager (SDM) who will be responsible for the day-to-day management, performance, and continuous improvement of the IT service desk function.

Key Responsibilities:

Service Operations:

  • Own the daily incident and service request queue — ensure tickets are triaged, prioritised, assigned, and resolved within SLA targets
  • Monitor and manage ticket hygiene in ServiceNow: category accuracy, caller data quality, assignment group compliance, and resolution note standards
  • Act as the primary escalation path for complex or high-impact incidents, coordinating with L2 and infrastructure teams as required
  • Maintain operational dashboards and produce regular reporting on queue volume, resolution times, agent workload, and SLA performance
  • Oversee and improve inbound routing rules — including email-based ticket creation, auto-assignment, and category/subcategory structure

People Management:

  • Directly manage L1 Service Desk Analysts and L2 System Administrators, including scheduling, workload balancing, and performance oversight
  • Conduct regular 1:1s, provide coaching and feedback, and own the performance review process for direct reports
  • Identify training needs and coordinate capability development — both technical and customer-facing skills
  • Manage WFH/hybrid scheduling, roster adherence, and leave planning to maintain adequate coverage across business hours
  • Foster a positive team culture with clear expectations around quality, accountability, and continuous improvement

Process & Continuous Improvement:

  • Identify repetitive ticket patterns and work with the Head of Security & IT Operations to scope automation opportunities (e.g. scripted resolutions, chatbot triage, workflow automation)
  • Maintain and improve the service desk knowledge base — ensure articles are current, complete, and actively used by the team
  • Lead process reviews for recurring problem areas (e.g. account provisioning, software requests, access management) and implement procedural improvements
  • Contribute to change management processes — assess service desk impact of planned changes and prepare team communications

Stakeholder Engagement:

  • Serve as the primary IT contact for business stakeholders escalating service delivery concerns
  • Build relationships across divisions to understand operational needs and align service desk capability accordingly
  • Communicate planned outages, known issues, and major incident updates to affected users in a timely and professional manner

Key Skills Required:

  • Experience in IT service desk and IT operations roles
  • Demonstrated experience managing SLAs, ticket queues, and service delivery reporting
  • Proficiency with ITSM platforms — ServiceNow strongly preferred
  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and Windows endpoint environments
  • Strong stakeholder relationship building and management skills
  • Able to translate technical issues for non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience managing performance, conducting 1:1s, and developing team members
