It Service Delivery Manager

Description:

IT Service Delivery Manager

Senior IT service delivery leader overseeing client engagements, SLA performance, and a cross-functional delivery team.

If you're the person clients call when things get complicated — and you actually enjoy that — this opportunity was built for you.

You've spent your career managing service delivery in environments where the margin for error is thin and the expectations are high. You know what it means to be the SPOC in the room when executives need answers. You've built the process, run the team, and taken ownership of outcomes from end to end. Now there's a seat at the table that matches what you've been doing — with the autonomy to do it your way.

This role sits at the intersection of operations, client relationships, and people leadership. You'll be responsible for the full lifecycle of complex IT service engagements — from scope definition through delivery, escalation management, and stakeholder reporting. You'll manage a dedicated team and collaborate across Engineering, Operations, Sales, and Product. The environment is demanding, multi-client, and fast-moving — exactly the kind of place where experienced delivery leaders thrive.

What makes this opportunity worth your attention is the combination of visibility and autonomy. You'll report to a Program Manager and operate with general direction — meaning you own the methods and the approach. The work is genuinely complex, the clients are real, and the team around you is resourced to succeed.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most IT service delivery roles slot you into an existing framework and ask you to maintain it. This one asks you to shape it. You'll define best practices, build operational processes, and bring your own approach to how delivery gets done — within a well-established organization that has the infrastructure to support serious execution. You won't be a coordinator. You'll be the person responsible for how service engagements perform, full stop. Cross-functional exposure across Engineering, Operations, Sales, and Product means your impact reaches beyond your immediate team. And you'll have direct access to leadership without having to fight for a seat at the table.

What You'll Be Doing
