Talent Acquisition Partner @ Optum UK | HR, Recruitment Tools

Here at Optum, we are excited to share that we are currently recruiting for a Service Relationship Manager to join us on a permanent basis.

This position is a home working job with some requirement to travel to the Leeds office for collaborative meetings.

Working with our customers, we are leading the way in the delivery of patient-centred, connected, digitally enabled health and care services. Our customers and partners are using our solutions in all health and care settings, from GP surgeries and community care to high street pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, not-for-profit organisations, and specialist services. We are committed to developing the next generation of healthcare technology that will truly make a difference

What you’ll do

You will work closely with key stakeholders from both inside and outside the organisation, and you will serve as the Service Relationship Manager for assigned business areas, becoming the primary contact for service-related issues.

In this role, you will be entrusted with the essential task of identifying and implementing continual improvements. You will be dedicated to fostering high customer satisfaction and consistently exceeding our customers’ expectations, solidifying our reputation as a trusted partner.

Other key responsibilities and accountabilities will include:

• Organise and lead service review meetings as required.
• Facilitate communication between customers, teams, and experts to maintain service quality.
• Handle escalations and complaints, collaborating with internal teams while managing customer expectations.
• Oversee contractual reporting and accountability.
• Maintain knowledge of Optum, its products and services, whilst keeping up to date on industry news, changes within healthcare, and competitor activity

Who You’ll Be

We’re looking for someone with experience in a Service Management role, ideally within an ITIL framework. Strong communication and influencing skills are key—you’ll be great at building excellent relationships with our customers. Being able to prioritise tasks and manage your workload is important. We appreciate someone who can stay calm and handle challenging situations. If you have a knack for analysing data and spotting opportunities for continuous improvement, that’s fantastic!

We want to make sure you’re set for success, so the key skills and experience we’re looking for are below:

• Experience with maintaining ISO accreditation would be a valuable addition to our team.
• A basic understanding of Software as a Service (SaaS) is beneficial
• If you have some project management skills, that’s a bonus.
• Having insights into the NHS structure and the wider healthcare market would help in this role but is not essential.

If you are eager to join an organisation where you have more than just a job, but an opportunity to add value and develop yourself further, then apply today!
