• Provide accurate management reporting and maintain effective cross‑team communication.
• Line manage Service Delivery Analysts and embedded Service Desk teams, including PDRs and skill development.
• Implement best‑practice Service Desk support function and support service transition for new or enhanced contracts.
• Ensure customers understand service scope and provide accurate service information to operations.
• Assist Account Director with contract renewals and identify new service opportunities
