ABOUT THE ROLE

The Service Delivery Manager leads the Finance Operations cluster — Accounts Payable, AccountsReceivable, Billing and Collections — through the Team Managers running each line. The role carriesthe cluster end to end delivery, the P&L, the client relationship above the Team Manager, and thehealth of the people in it. It is the named owner on incidents in the cluster and is accountable forattrition, churn, CSAT and coaching compliance. Hands-on processing is not part of the role, andneither is running a queue.

• Carry the client relationship above the Team Manager, including the commercial conversation on scopeand service levels
• Deliver bad news early and directly, to the client and to the Practice Leader
• Plan capacity against the work: coverage, single points of failure, and what the volumes say can andcannot be delivered
• Keep a trained backup on every seat where one person carries a scope on their own
• Develop the Team Managers into the next layer — identify who is ready, put the evidence behind it, andsupport them through the readiness track
• Recommend hiring, pay and performance actions with the evidence behind them, and route anythingtouching employment through HR
