• Deliver stable, high-quality service across the service line by aligning delivery, operations, and support teams around shared goals and clear accountability.
• Act as a trusted leader during major customer escalations, bringing structure, calm, and resolution to complex, high-impact situations.
• Anticipate systemic risks and service weaknesses before they escalated, and drive durable corrective actions across people, process, and technology.
• Improve customer and business outcomes through data-driven decision-making, operational governance, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Build capability across teams by mentoring, strengthening ownership, and enabling continuous improvement at scale.
• Ensure service performance is measured, visible, and actioned, with clear focus on customer experience, operational efficiency, and business impact.

What You Need To Bring:

• Demonstrated ability to lead service delivery in a complex, fast-moving environment with multiple priorities, stakeholders, and operational dependencies.
• Strong ability to partner across delivery, support, and operations teams to drive accountability, service performance, and continuous improvement.
• Executive-level communication, presentation, negotiation, and influencing skills, with the ability to simplify complexity, build alignment, and drive decisions across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strategic thinker who can align process discipline with business outcomes and customer expectations.
• Ability to assess service trends, operational risks, and root causes, then translate insights into action plans and sustain improvements.
• Strong customer focus with the credibility to handle escalations, build trust, and represent the service line effectively.
• Strong presentation skills to communicate service performance, operational insights, and recommendations with clarity and confidence to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Ability to develop a holistic view of the service ecosystem and connect people, process, and performance.

Subject Matter Expertise:
