You’ll be comfortable leading customer service reviews, managing escalations, monitoring SLA performance and working with technical and commercial teams to drive improvements. Strong relationship management, commercial awareness and the ability to translate technical issues into clear business impacts are essential.

Razorblue Requirements

We know its unrealistic to find someone who ticks all of these boxes (extra points if you do), which is why we seek those eager to develop over time through our development resources and peer learning.

Essential

• ITIL Foundation (v3/v4) certification.
• Experience in IT Service Delivery, Managed Services or an MSP environment.
• Strong understanding of IT Service Management (ITSM) principles.
• Experience managing customer relationships and service escalations.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management and reporting skills.

• Experience with service governance, reporting and continual improvement programmes.
• Experience managing third-party suppliers and partners.
• Experience within a Microsoft-focused services environment.

Continuous learning and development are central to our culture, and we heavily invest in elevating our people, not just hiring those already at an expert level.

Razorblue Gives

If you want to learn more about the IT domain as a whole or specialise in one particular area, you can do that here. We are not looking for the most qualified people, but people who have a true drive to learn and a passion for the technology sector. Our learning and development opportunities, combined with our team's drive for growth, result in a high volume of promotions granted year after year.

We operate a hybrid working policy across most roles and often get asked why we haven’t made the decision to go fully remote… For us, natural learning opportunities are invaluable and office working enables this and has also inspired our collective culture of teamwork.

Our Other Benefits Include

• Base salary of £55,000.00 to £60,000.00 per annum depending on skills and knowledge
• Hybrid working (50% after completing the probation period)
• Flexible working to suit your work life fit
• 25 days holidays per annum + public holidays + the ability to purchase 10 more
