Your primary responsibility will be to manage, sustain, and enhance the connections between IT Services teams, Service Owners, operational units, the Executive Board, and other stakeholders.

  • Participating in team meetings and VIBs to provide IT updates to Companies House teams as needed.
  • Collaborating with Service Owners, Service Managers, and key Operational Managers to assess service degradation measurements and ensure accurate customer impact reporting.
  • Working with Data colleagues to align data capture accuracy with Companies House digital availability public targets.
  • Managing and coordinating the escalation of service issues and complaints from internal customers.
  • Overseeing the business relationship process while managing challenging deadlines.
  • Coordinating with IT Services teams to prioritize change requests and implementation requests, minimizing business impact.
  • Ensuring timely completion of change implementation tasks within service level agreements (SLAs).
  • Generating various service availability reports for IT Services Management, Business Board, and internal customers.
  • Managing the Companies House overtime request process.
  • Maintaining and reviewing the Service Availability SharePoint site.
  • Collaborating with the IT Problem Manager to analyze trends and potential issues to prevent future problems.
  • Working with the Incident Controller during Major Incidents to ensure effective communication regarding service issues and recovery plans.
  • Ensuring that IT Services continuity plans are current and maintained.
  • Managing the Major Incident Report process and ensuring all actions are completed within agreed timelines.
  • Providing coverage for the Senior Business Relationship Manager as needed.

  • Good knowledge of IT technical infrastructure, end-user devices, networks, servers, databases, and storage solutions.
  • Proficiency in M365 software (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint, Power BI, etc.).
  • ITIL Foundation Level 4 qualification or a willingness to pursue this qualification.
  • Experience with ServiceNow service management software or similar tools.
