You will shape the entire service blueprint and the operating model and the controls and the tooling and the transition roadmap.

• Define SLAs, OLAs, MI, dashboards, cost to serve metrics and performance models
• Lead transition planning including pilots, go live stages, hypercare and risk and change management
• Coach teams in service design, human centred design and lean operations and support continuous improvement across the programme
• Engage with UK based teams and the Cologne contact centre to ensure alignment across locations

Proven experience building multi tower managed services at scale
• Strong service design and operating model design background including TOM, RACI, spans and layers, service blueprinting and location modelling
• Excellent process engineering with deep BPMN expertise and comfort with queue design and workforce planning
• Strong controls understanding across finance reconciliation, KYC and AML, export documentation and audit readiness
• Familiarity with tools like Dynamics, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Genesys, NICE, Five9, Amazon Connect, UiPath, Power Automate, M Files, SharePoint and Power BI or Tableau
• Strong facilitation skills and confidence working with Enterprise Architecture, Security, Risk, Operations and Data
• Willingness to travel between the UK and Cologne when required

This is an opportunity to shape the operating model for a European heavyweight SaaS organisation and a service that touches finance, risk, export, logistics and customer operations across multiple countries. You will work directly with senior leadership and own the design authority. Contract outside IR35
• Day rate £600 - £650
• Hybrid working across client site and Manchester / Cologne and remote
• If you are a senior service design architect or operating model specialist who delivers complex multi tower operating models, we want to speak to you.
