Purpose of the Role

Support the delivery of an IT service that is reliable, resilient, scalable and secure and puts the customer’s experience at the forefront.

Proactively contribute to the service improvement plan and take ownership for your region. Work with the Service Managers and the IT Service Team to monitor the service delivered by our IT Managed service providers, ensuring that there is a seamless approach to service and a relentless drive to delight our customers.

Build great relationships with our key customers in your region and be known as the 1st point of escalation for any service queries. Where complaints do arise, ensure that the Service Managers are informed promptly.

A key part of the role is to help our customers to achieve value from IT through improved understanding of the tools available. Through the delivery of workshops, knowledge materials and focused communications. You will be expected to tailor these to the specific needs of your region, offices and customers.

Service Desk - In your role you will monitor the queues in your region and ensure that expectations are being met or managed.
