JOB PURPOSE
The IT Operations Manager for the Global Service Desk is accountable for the performance, governance, and continuous improvement of the outsourced Service Desk function.

The role acts as the operational bridge between the organisation and the Managed Service Provider (MSP), driving service excellence, accountability, and alignment with strategic objectives.
RESPONSIBILITIES

* Ensure the Service Desk is engaged in all initiatives and changes that impact IT services. Represent the Service Desk in change and transition planning to ensure readiness and continuity of support.
* Work alongside the Knowledge Manager to ensure that relevant knowledge is captured, maintained, and made accessible to the Service Desk and end users. Promote knowledge reuse and self-service adoption.
* Align Service Desk operations with strategic objectives such as shift-left, increased first-line resolution, and end-to-end incident management. Drive transformation initiatives that enhance the maturity and capability of the Service Desk function, through implementation of additional tooling, automation, processes and so on.
* Oversee the Swarming and Problem Identification functions within the MSP.
