Technology & Workplace Operations Manager (6 months Fixed Term Contract)
Based: Edinburgh
The Scottish National Investment Bank is seeking an experienced Technology & Workplace Operations Manager to strengthen the operational delivery, governance, and continual improvement of our Technology and Workplace Services.
Reporting to the Director of IT & Facilities, you will bring structure, coordination, and pace to a broad portfolio of operational activity. Working within a small internal team supported by outsourced service providers, you will maintain oversight of day-to-day services, ensure actions and issues are driven through to completion, and help embed clear and sustainable operating practices.
This is a hands-on delivery role spanning service governance, operational reporting, supplier management, risk and control remediation, and operational resilience. You will connect colleagues, suppliers, and stakeholders, translating priorities into clear plans, ownership, and measurable progress.
We welcome applications from candidates who believe they can excel in this role, even if you do not meet every single requirement. We value diverse experiences and perspectives and encourage applications from all backgrounds.
Key Responsibilities
- Coordinate day-to-day operational activity across Technology and Workplace Services, maintaining clear priorities, ownership, and delivery.
- Act as the operational lead for workplace, facilities, and building-related service providers, ensuring issues and commitments are managed through to resolution.
- Coordinate and track service issues, escalations, operational actions, and improvement initiatives, working with internal stakeholders and outsourced service providers.
- Produce clear operational, governance, and management information to support oversight, decision-making, and performance improvement.
- Develop and maintain operational procedures, service documentation, service catalogues, ownership arrangements, and supporting control evidence.
- Support effective service management practices, including incident, problem, change, request, and service-review processes.
- Monitor supplier performance and commitments through structured service reviews, action tracking, and proportionate escalation.
- Coordinate the remediation of audit, risk, and control actions, supporting the continued development of operational resilience and business continuity arrangements.
- Identify opportunities to simplify processes, strengthen controls, and reduce operational, governance, and process debt.
- Build effective relationships across the Bank, influencing stakeholders and driving delivery without relying on formal authority.
