Job description

Are you the person who can keep clients happy, technical teams aligned and service issues moving towards resolution, even when everyone involved has a slightly different idea of what "urgent" means? If you're great at managing relationships, solving problems and making sure things actually get done (rather than simply discussed in another meeting), we'd like to meet you. We are looking for an experienced Service Delivery Lead to join our Manila team. You'll play an important role in making sure our clients receive the excellent IT support they've been promised, while helping our technical teams deliver consistently great service. You'll be the person connecting clients, technical teams and management, making sure expectations are clear, issues are addressed and nothing important quietly disappears into a ticket queue. And yes, it's day shift with hybrid working . Which means there's still time for dinner, family, merienda, or the occasional adventure through Manila traffic.

A little about Us

We're Australia's #1 MSP (Cloudtango, 9 years running), with over 500 staff across 4 countries. We've built our reputation on great technical people, strong client relationships and a genuine commitment to doing things properly. We're big believers in hiring capable people, giving them the support they need and trusting them to get on with the job. We value open communication, teamwork and people who aren't afraid to raise their hand when something could be done better. One of our values that fits this role particularly well is Wow the Customer . It's about delivering excellent service, understanding what matters to clients and making sure they feel genuinely looked after. You'll also see plenty of Win Together , because great service delivery is rarely a solo performance. You can learn more about First Focus and our values at https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/.
