IT Service Delivery Manager

 

Northern Ireland

Primarily onsite (Greater Belfast)

£40,000-£50,000 + benefits

 

We are working with a growing Software consultancy.  They have a new requirement for an IT Service Delivery Manager. 

 

 

 

In this exciting role, you will own the customer relationship once a service has gone live and moved into business-as-usual (BAU). You sit between the support team and each customer's lead contact with a focus on making sure delivery stays on track, problems get resolved, and customers always know where they stand.

This is a key requirement with a focus on delivery excellence..

 

Responsibilities include:

 

 

  • Own SLA performance across all supported services, tracking compliance and driving corrective action when targets are at risk.
  • Produce and present monthly service reports, translating support data into a clear, evidenced narrative for each customer.
  • Plan, chair and follow up on regular service review meetings, ensuring actions are tracked to closure.
  • Own the change management process for in-life services: logging, assessing impact, coordinating approval and scheduling with the technical team.
  • Own the problem management process: identifying root causes of recurring incidents, tracking problem records, and reporting resolution progress.
  • Act as the primary relationship owner for each customer's lead contact once a service transitions into BAU
  • Maintain accurate service documentation, including SLAs, contact registers, and reporting packs, ready for audit or renewal discussions.

 

The Person:

 

  • Experience in a service delivery, account management, or customer success role within an IT, managed services, or technical environment.
  • A confident, personable manner — genuinely warm with customers, and able to build trust and rapport quickly.
  • Comfortable owning difficult conversations: managing an SLA breach, an unhappy customer, or an overdue action without letting the relationship suffer.
  • Good working knowledge of SLA, change management, and problem management processes (ITIL exposure is a plus, not a requirement).
  • Strong reporting skills — able to turn raw support data into something a customer stakeholder finds clear and credible.
  • Organised and self-directed, comfortable managing multiple customer accounts in parallel.

Desirable Skills and Experience

  • Experience working with public sector customers or contracts with formal KPI/governance requirements.
  • Experience working closely with a support/service desk team, even without formal line-management responsibility.
  • Familiarity with a service desk or ITSM tool (e.g. Jira Service Management, Freshservice, ServiceNow).

 

Does this sound like you?

 

  • Warm, approachable and genuinely interested in people, with the ability to build rapport and trust quickly.
  • Calm and confident handling difficult conversations, without letting the customer relationship suffer.
  • Reliable and accountable, with a track record of following through on commitments.
  • Naturally organised, comfortable managing multiple customer accounts and competing priorities in parallel.
