• Act as a trusted advisor, identifying opportunities to improve service and strengthen partnerships

Incident & Ticket Management:

• Oversee all client-facing tickets, ensuring fast and effective resolution
• Lead critical incident response, keeping clients informed and teams aligned
• Document and improve post-incident processes

• Strong working knowledge of ticketing tools like AutoTask, Zendesk, or similar
• Proven ability to handle client-facing escalations and resolve complex issues
• Excellent communicator – clear, calm, and confident in both technical and non-technical conversations
• Strategic thinker who’s also comfortable getting stuck in and solving day-to-day issues
• Detail-focused and committed to delivering high-quality service and reporting
• Strong time management and task prioritisation under pressure
• Passionate about people, service, and building lasting client partnerships

What success looks like:

• Consistently delivering services within SLA targets
