**About Withersworldwide**

A law firm focused on people and collaboration. For the past 125 years, Withers has supported some of the world's most remarkable people and organisations at defining moments in their lives. We are the only international law firm focused on successful individuals and private capital, working closely with founders, investors and family offices. We also advise governments, charities, global brands and start-ups of all shapes and sizes. Many of our clients are shaping the future and creating solutions to tackle many of the world's problems. It makes for a fascinating and challenging practice. Our role is to get to know each individual client, find out where they want to be, and help them to get there - whether they are building a business, looking after their family, involved in a complex dispute or protecting their finances for the future. To meet their unique needs we are exceptionally collaborative, working together across teams and time zones. We are agile, focusing on strategy rather than rigid ideas and traditional hierarchy. It is a truly flexible working culture that puts people first. Join us to be part of a team that is always looking to the future. Where initiative, big ideas and bold moves are always encouraged. Where you can truly be yourself.

- To deliver qualitative and quantitative metrics of performance which will help with IT issue identification, policy and decision making, and guide investment in service improvement
- To be responsible for all service-related business communications
- To identify and proactively manage Major Incidents and work with global support teams to quickly and efficiently deliver a resolution, minimise impact, and ensure the speedy resumption of business operations and security of the business assets
- To gather formal and informal customer feedback via stakeholder meetings and forums in order to ensure that all support issues and ideas are identified and addressed, and then engage with the global IT team to identify, plan and deliver solutions
- To lead and oversee the implementation of user-facing IT projects delivering new and enhanced services across all offices
- To continually maintain and expand a strong working knowledge of currently-used and future technologies to provide technically accurate solutions to end-users and to increase IT’s value
- In conjunction with the Head of IT Systems, to ensure fit-for-purpose support contracts are in place for user-facing IT systems, including liaising with suppliers for purchasing, and managing suppliers to ensure that the best quality of service is obtained
