- Define, design, and deliver client operating models and solution-specific service models
- Conduct structured client assessments across service-related domains, including ITSM maturity and managed service provider (MSP) contractual compliance
- Gather and document operational requirements, ensuring traceability through service design, build, and transition phases
- Design and implement operational governance frameworks covering reporting, compliance, risk management, skills, and communications
- Lead organisational design initiatives and support transformation programmes
- Guide clients through MSP transitions, including outsourcing and insourcing engagements
- Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of the team’s service offerings
- Actively promote service offerings to internal account and sales teams
- Develop pre‑sales and proposal materials for client engagements
- Provide mentorship and leadership to team members
- A minimum of 10 years’ experience in a service management advisory / consulting role or as a senior client-side stakeholder
- ITIL certification preferred; however, demonstrable, in-depth practical experience is essential
- Experience working with Enterprise Architecture frameworks (e.g. TOGAF) preferred; certification is an advantage
- Strong background in IT operations and the integration of service management tools and processes
- Proven application of service architecture concepts within technical initiatives (e.g. cloud migrations, observability platform integrations)
- Solid understanding of modern technology environments, including cloud platforms and AI infrastructure, alongside traditional IT stacks
- Subject matter expertise in at least one technical domain (e.g. networking, security, observability, or applications) is advantageous
- Ability to communicate complex service and operating models clearly and appropriately to diverse audiences, from executive leadership to operational teams
- Highly adaptable, with the ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities without loss of focus
- Confident and credible in technical discussions with both business and engineering stakeholders
- Strong curiosity and enthusiasm for emerging technologies, with a commitment to staying current in the operational and service management space
