We value pragmatism, data and continuous improvement.
Infrastructure & Operations purpose:
“We keep the business running. Our job is to support and deliver fast, reliable, and cost-effective technology - so our FT colleagues can do their best work. We are responsive, we support change, and always aim for high performance. When we’re at our best, the whole business runs better.”
Reporting to the Infrastructure and Operations Technology Director, the ITSM Service Manager is accountable for driving measurable improvements across existing service management processes. This is an individual contributor role.
