The Head of IT Service Delivery is an essential part of the IT management group, leading a team responsible for end-to-end IT service delivery. This includes service management, desktop support, as well as the core platforms and applications that support the firm. This role focuses on both current operations and future growth, ensuring that the firm has a robust platform to support its ambitious plans.
Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, this position will play a critical role in shaping technology service delivery as the firm undergoes significant transformation. Our ambitious program encompasses major technological developments and the redesign of areas such as IT service, process maturity, resourcing, third-party management, and security.

Oversight of the technology estate ensures operation according to best practice industry standards, capturing and reporting key performance metrics, maintaining optimization, and updating technology based on vendor support and best practices, including data cleansing, archiving, backup, and recovery.
Our service delivery involves numerous partners, including our main service provider managing 24/7 first-line services, audio-visual support, mobility providers, and our global team overseeing ITSM and ServiceNow. Effective management and maximization of vendor relationships, contracts, and service management are crucial to delivering high-quality IT services.
Management of the ITSM platform, ServiceNow, ensures data quality for trend and problem analysis, reporting, and continuous improvement, including implementing 'shift left'. Asset management supported by ITSM and optimizing the service portal for faster, higher-quality resolution are also priorities.

The candidate should have extensive experience across various technology areas, including service and cloud infrastructure, applications, databases, messaging, networks, and desktop support. Proven leadership in delivering high-standard technology functions at significant organizations (1,500 seats+) and experience in professional services is beneficial.
Leading and developing teams to achieve high performance standards, operational maturity, and transitions to new technologies is critical. The candidate will manage a team, directly and indirectly, along with several key third-party relationships responsible for service delivery.
As a key member of the IT Management Team, the candidate will work closely with peers under the direction of the Chief Technology Officer. Building a positive culture and high-quality relationships is integral to our operations. The candidate will collaborate with colleagues in client-facing business roles, technical experts, project delivery teams, and global colleagues in a supportive and collaborative hybrid working environment.
