Join a team at the forefront of the FCA’s mission to protect consumers and reduce harm in financial markets. As Service Manager, you’ll help deliver and enhance IT services that support solutions, triage and case management—enabling data-driven, intelligence-led regulation.

You’ll work across the Digital Intelligence & Solutions (DIS) division and the Data Intelligence Products (DIP) team, supporting platforms that transform raw data into meaningful insights. These include Search & Discovery, a search tool built on elastic indexes and Decision Hub, which automates workflows using intelligence and data.

This role blends technical expertise with service leadership. You’ll troubleshoot issues, validate service components and work closely with product and engineering teams. You’ll also manage supplier relationships, support compliance with service architecture and help strengthen the resilience and scalability of our digital services.

Your work will support proactive detection, investigation and mitigation of harm—helping shape the future of financial regulation through reliable, high-performing technology.

What will you be doing?

• Overseeing day-to-day IT service delivery through third-party suppliers, ensuring alignment with FCA frameworks and driving service improvements
• Providing hands-on technical support, resolving service issues through root cause analysis and working closely with product teams to validate deployments
• Managing service changes and supplier adjustments, while identifying and mitigating risks across DIS platforms to maintain operational resilience
• Leading incident response and escalation processes, including coordinating ‘red team’ interventions when service levels are not met
• Maintaining and updating service management tools (e.g. ServiceNow, CMDB, ITSCM, change management) to ensure compliance with FCA architecture and support risk mitigation for DAPG
• Supporting out-of-hours operations as part of an on-call rota, contributing to the continuity and stability of critical services

What you will get from the role

• A chance to work in small, empowered teams that value creativity, autonomy and shared purpose
• A healthy work-life balance, with a focus on working smart and making time count
• A meaningful role where your contributions help serve and protect those who rely on financial services
• Trust and respect from leadership, with space to own your work and thrive without micromanagement
• An inclusive environment that celebrates diverse perspectives and backgrounds
• A culture that values emotional intelligence, encourages innovation and supports growth through strong, people-focused leadership
