Role Overview:

 

The ambition of this role is to be the driving force behind UK Service Operations, ensuring we deliver service excellence that doesn't just meet but smashes our customer expectations and SLAs. This role is a cornerstone of our commitment to continuous improvement, owning the strategy for how our UK support and provisioning functions operate. It’s an exciting opportunity to lead from the front, turning data into actionable strategies that delight our global customer base.

 

This role reports directly to the Group Head of Service and is accountable for the UK Service Operations team. You will be managing and developing a dedicated team, setting their KPIs and driving their personal development. Key relationships include collaborating with internal sales, support, integration, and project delivery teams, as well as managing crucial relationships with external Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and third-party service providers. The geo remit is UK-focused with influence on Group Service Strategy.

 

Your Daily Quest (Key Responsibilities):🌎

 

  • Elevate Service Delivery & Management: Take ownership of UK service delivery, ensuring all contractual SLAs and OLAs are consistently met and exceeded. Drive the adoption of agreed ITIL principles (Incident, Problem, Change, Release).
  • Lead the Service Desk Squad: Manage, mentor, and develop the UK Service Operations team, including setting KPIs, conducting 1-2-1s, delivering PDPs, and running weekly team meetings.
  • Customer Escalation and Deep Dive Owner: Act as the lead point for complex customer escalations, manage complaints, and perform deep-dive analysis on all Voice of Customer (VoC) feedback (CSAT, NPS, CES) to identify and resolve root causes.
  • Drive Continuous Improvement (CI): Champion Continuous Improvement initiatives across the UK team to optimize existing processes, enhance team workflows, and roll out strategies for customer service excellence.
  • Data-Driven Service Strategy: Leverage your strong analytical skills using Zendesk and PowerBI to review daily dashboards, spot service trends, allocate priority, and lead all MNO service reviews and OLA commitments.

 

The Secret Sauce (Key Experience & Skills):🍨

 

  • Service Desk Management Wizard: A minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in Service Desk management principles and processes.
  • Sector Super-Star: Previous experience operating within a business with large contracts in the telecommunications or wider services/tech industry is highly advantageous.
  • Ticket System Expert: Experience with a leading ticket management system like Zendesk is highly beneficial (but not essential, we're happy to train the right candidate!).
  • Data & Reporting Guru: Strong analytical skills with proven experience utilizing reporting tools like PowerBI and data in ticket systems to drive meaningful change.
  • Relationship Architect: Exceptional stakeholder and relationship management skills with a history of leading service reviews and managing critical third-party relationships (e.g., MNOs).

 

What Will Make You Shine At Wireless Logic (Behaviours & Culture) 😇:

  • A positive, can-do attitude that’s infectious and the ability to stay calm and collected under pressure.
  • A collaborative leadership style that gets the best out of others, supporting principles of inclusion and equity.
  • Dedicated to using data and reporting tools to spot trends, look for process improvements, and make decisions.
  • A proactive approach and a natural problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Accountability and professionalism—you own the outcome and are confident in the transfer of knowledge to the team and customers.

 

Your Objectives for the Year:

 

1.      Elevate UK Service Metrics: Reduce customer-facing ticket resolution time by 15% through process optimisation, improved L1/L2 diagnostics, and increased MNO liaison efficiency.

2.      Continuous Improvement (CI) Strategy Implementation: Create and deliver a minimum of 3 major CI projects to streamline core processes (e.g., Activation/SIM changes) resulting in measurable efficiency gains for the team.

3.      Team Skills Uplift: Implement a formal, structured Team Skills Analysis and Training Plan to ensure 90% of the team is proficient in new product readiness requirements and complex L2 diagnostics.
