Technical Operations Manager - 12 Month (FTC) | £70,000 - London (Hybrid - 3 Days Per Week)
Here at Burns Sheehan, we're working with a leading name in the Real Estate space as they look to hire a Technical Operations Manager to help ensure smooth, reliable IT services across their UK and European offices.
This is a key hire within their Technology Services function, reporting into the Infrastructure & Security Manager. You'll lead day-to-day IT service delivery helping manage the internal support team and 3rd party providers - while also driving continuous improvement across user support, service processes, and operational tooling.
The business is medium-sized (150 people across 9 countries), so it's still agile, with the chance to influence how things are run. They've got the complexity of a multi-site, multi-national setup, but without the red tape of a large corporate.
Core Responsibilities:
* Lead and manage IT Service Desk operations, ensuring strong performance and user satisfaction.
* Act as escalation point for major incidents - coordinating resolution and keeping stakeholders informed.
* Take ownership of Incident, Request, and Escalation processes and related reporting.
* Oversee Change Management processes and chair CAB meetings.
* Support desktop, mobile, and office IT environments - including vendor relationships, licensing and asset management.
* Work closely with internal teams and external partners to align on service improvement priorities.
* Occasionally travel to European offices when required.
Key Experience We're Looking For:
* Solid experience in a technical operations, IT service delivery, or service desk leadership role.
* Good knowledge of ITSM platforms (e.g. ServiceNow, Freshservice, Jira, ManageEngine).
* Familiar with core Microsoft technologies - including Office 365, Intune, Active Directory and basic networking.
* Experience working with 3rd party vendors and managing outsourced IT services.
* Confident in a stakeholder-facing role - strong communication and coordination skills.
* Ideally ITIL certified (or equivalent experience), with a hands-on approach to process improvement.
* Comfortable resolving first-line issues when necessary
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to step up in a visible, hands-on leadership role with plenty of variety day to day. If you're interested, apply below and we'll be in touch.
