Are you a seasoned Operations Manager ready to lead a team in a fast-paced Managed Services environment?

We’re looking for an experienced leader with strong commercial instincts, a passion for service excellence, and a track record of driving operational success within the MSP world.

What’s the role?

You’ll be at the heart of our growing technical delivery function, leading a team of 9 direct reports and around 70 talented professionals.

Your mission? Keep service standards sky-high, costs under control, and clients delighted – all while nurturing the team and supporting continuous improvement across our Managed Services and Professional Services functions.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading day-to-day operations across two key service areas – Managed Services (on-site) and Professional Services (remote consultancy).
• Driving performance against KPIs, budgets, and delivery targets.
• Coaching and developing team leaders – setting clear goals and inspiring high performance.
• Ensuring we have the right skills and headcount to deliver exceptional service, on time and on budget.
• Acting on client feedback to ensure satisfaction stays strong and issues are quickly resolved.
• Supporting growth through smart resourcing and efficient delivery models.
• Collaborating with the Head of Professional & Managed Services to shape strategy and share wins.

What you bring to the table:

• 10+ years in operational leadership within the Technology / MSP sector .
• Strong grasp of service delivery best practices – ITIL v4 knowledge is a bonus.
• A natural people leader – skilled at coaching, motivating, and developing high-performing teams.
• Commercial awareness – balancing budgets, people, and client satisfaction with ease.
• Tech-aware – you don't need to be an engineer, but you’ll be comfortable working alongside them.
• Confident communicator who can influence at all levels, from engineers to execs.

This is more than just an operations role – it’s a chance to shape the future of our service delivery. You’ll have the autonomy to make a real impact, the support of a passionate leadership team, and access to brilliant training and development opportunities.
