Salary: 55,000 – 70,000 GBP + 10% Bonus

Job responsibilities:

1. Service Desk & Incident Management

*

L1 triage & ownership: Act as regional L1 triage layer — validate severity/impact, capture data and route incidents to the correct resolver group, keeping knowledge and control within future autonomy.

*

Major incident management: Coordinate major incidents end-to-end (e.g. authentication/M365 outages, store-down events), driving service vendor and other resolvers to resolution and clear user communication.

*

Problem management: Turn recurring incidents into root-cause fixes and reduce avoidable demand.

2. Service Integration & Vendor SLA (SIAM)

*

Vendor service integration: Own the day-to-day relationship with vendor for L1/L2 service desk, lifecycle/depot, major incident management and consultancy; run monthly service reviews and hold partners to SLA.

*

Resolver-group coordination: Coordinate across Technology business (M365, identity, ServiceNow), our Business IT (transitional infra/EUC) and application/network/3PL vendors under a clear RACI.

*

ServiceNow continuity: Ensure our workflows, routing, ownership and reporting are built and maintained in ServiceNow (with Plat4mation) — a key Day 1 risk area.

3. End-User Computing & Workplace

*

Device lifecycle: Manage the end-to-end device lifecycle (Windows/Surface, mobile, iPad) to our Surface standard — procurement, build, deployment, refresh and secure disposal — coordinating with asset partners for the separation asset transfer.

*

Workplace services: Own M365 workplace support (Outlook, Teams, Intune-managed devices), onboarding/offboarding (JML), print, access and conferencing across offices and showrooms.

*

Asset management: Maintain an accurate asset register from ServiceNow/Intune covering user, device type, model, serial, status and location to support transfer and lifecycle management.

4. Retail & Store Support Experience

*

Store support model: Define and run the store-facing support experience for several hundred retail users, ensuring fast, empathetic resolution for POS, connectivity and peripheral issues without on-site presence in every location.

5. Service Governance & Reporting

*

SLA & experience reporting: Track SLA/KPI performance, aged tickets, repeat incidents, CSAT and readiness actions; produce clear management dashboards.

*

Continual improvement: Drive ITIL-aligned continual service improvement and readiness reviews through cutover and hypercare.

Experience

*

Service Management: 8+ years in IT service delivery / service desk management with strong ITIL-based incident, problem and change practice.

*

Vendor/SIAM: Proven vendor and SLA management, ideally integrating a managed service desk partner in a multi-supplier (SIAM) model.

*

EUC&M365: Solid end-user computing and Microsoft 365 support (Entra ID, Intune, Teams/Outlook), JML and device lifecycle to a corporate hardware standard.

*

Retail Support: Experience supporting multi-site retail users and stores, including POS and store peripherals, across multiple European countries.
