  • Develop and maintain a robust Service Performance Reporting framework aligned with ITIL's Continual Service Improvement (CSI) practices.
  • Analyse service trends, performance metrics, and customer feedback to identify service improvement opportunities and drive measurable outcomes.
  • Champion automation, self-service, and proactive support initiatives to enhance efficiency and user experience.
  • Ensure timely, transparent, and accurate reporting to stakeholders on service levels, trends, and operational risks.
  • Provide leadership to the Desktop Engineering function, ensuring the design, deployment, and support of modern workplace technologies.
  • Oversee the development and maintenance of standard operating environments (SOEs), endpoint management, and automation initiatives.
  • Ensure engineering solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise architecture and security standards.
  • Build and lead a high-performing, customer-focused team through effective recruitment, mentoring, coaching, and performance management.
  • Design and deliver training plans to uplift internal capability and drive operational maturity across support teams.
  • Act as a key liaison between IT support, cross-functional teams, and business stakeholders to ensure alignment and satisfaction.
  • Manage the relationship with the external vendor providing after-hours support, ensuring service continuity, quality, and contract compliance.
  • Drive continual service improvement through proactive identification of inefficiencies, bottlenecks, or gaps within the support function.
  • Champion automation and self-service capabilities to reduce support overhead and improve the end-user experience.

About You:

  • Minimum 8–10 years of progressive experience in IT Operations, with 5+ years in a leadership or senior management capacity.
  • Proven experience managing IT Service Desk and Desktop Support operations in a medium to large-scale organisation.
  • Deep understanding of ITIL framework and practical application of Service Management disciplines.
  • Strong knowledge of enterprise IT environments, including Microsoft technologies, Intune/Endpoint Manager, O365, Active Directory, and remote desktop tools.
  • Experience leading large support teams, with demonstrated capability in performance management, coaching, and team development.
  • Skilled in building and interpreting service reports and KPIs, with a data-driven approach to decision making.
  • Experience with ITSM tools such as ServiceNow.
