As a Service Delivery Manager, you will oversee 24×7 network operations and NOC performance to ensure the client’s multi‑protocol WAN remains stable and meets agreed service levels. You will act as the bridge between stakeholders and technical teams, translating service agreements into operational plans, driving continuous improvement, and ensuring that incident response remains swift and effective.
What You’ll Do and How You’ll Succeed
- Service performance & process oversight: Manage service performance against SLAs, enforce standard operating procedures, and coordinate with technical teams to keep network operations running smoothly. Review performance data and adjust plans as needed.
- Incident & problem management: Lead the response to network incidents, coordinate response teams, and implement root‑cause analysis to prevent recurrence. Ensure the hierarchical escalation model is followed so unresolved issues move from Level 1 through Level 3 until resolved.
- Vendor & third‑party management: Negotiate contracts, hold performance reviews, and address issues with vendors and third‑party providers to maintain service efficiency. Oversee physical on‑site presence during incidents as required.
- Service improvement: Analyse performance data, adopt ITIL best practices, and introduce automation to optimise processes and improve service delivery.
- Stakeholder communication: Act as the main point of contact for customer escalations, conduct service review meetings, and provide transparent updates on service performance.
- Network operations & deliverables: Oversee multi‑protocol WAN management (BGP, OSPF, VRF, MPLS) and ensure the NOC delivers daily/weekly incident and utilisation reports, semi‑annual operational manuals, and network‑architecture diagrams. Coordinate cross‑functional teams to support on‑site network requests and maintain compliance with service contracts.
