IT Service Delivery Manager
Location: Warrington – hybrid working
Salary: Up to £55,000
Technology: Microsoft 365, Azure, End User Computing / Devices, Managed Services
Nigel Frank International is working with a Microsoft Gold Partner and growing Cloud and Modern Workplace consultancy to recruit an IT Service Delivery Manager.
This is a client-facing role supporting one of the business’s key managed-service customers. You will sit between the client and the consultancy's technical service desk - bringing structure, clarity and reassurance to the service while ensuring the technical team can continue to deliver at pace.
You will build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, take ownership of service communication and escalation management, and turn service activity into clear, meaningful reporting. You will also work closely with the service desk to improve processes, create a more structured service model and ensure issues are handled in the right way.
This is not a pure account-management role, nor is it solely an internal service desk management position. It requires someone who is comfortable in front of customers, understands how a modern MSP service desk operates, and has enough technical credibility to discuss Microsoft 365, Azure and end-user support with confidence.

Responsibilities
- Act as the main day-to-day service contact for a key client, building strong relationships across operational and senior stakeholders.
- Work closely with the service desk to manage service performance, priorities, escalations and communication.
- Lead regular service reviews and produce dashboards and reports that give the client clear visibility of performance, trends, risks and improvement activity.
- Bring structure to service processes without adding unnecessary bureaucracy or slowing down technical delivery.
- Translate technical issues and service activity into clear, commercially aware updates for non-technical stakeholders.
- Identify recurring issues and opportunities to improve the client experience, service processes and overall quality of delivery.
- Support the service desk during significant incidents and ensure stakeholders receive appropriate, timely communication.
