5. Service Delivery, Governance & Continuous Improvement

• Monitor SLA performance, change and incident backlogs, operational KPIs and team productivity.
• Ensure adherence to ITIL processes, security requirements and operational standards; prepare management reports.
• Partner with service delivery stakeholders and vendors to resolve issues and improve customer satisfaction.
• Support new-service onboarding, operational transitions, runbooks and knowledge transfer.
• Drive process standardisation, automation and sustainable operational improvements.
