The Service Level Manager is responsible for managing, monitoring, and continuously improving service performance against agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Operational Level Agreements (OLAs), and customer expectations. This role acts as a bridge between customers, service delivery teams, vendors, and internal stakeholders to help services remain aligned with business objectives, contractual commitments, and operational capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

· Prepare and present regular service level reports, performance dashboards, SLA attainment summaries, and service improvement updates to stakeholders.

· Identify service performance gaps, analyze root causes, and coordinate corrective actions with service owners, technical teams, vendors, and process owners.

· Facilitate service review meetings with customers and internal stakeholders, including discussion of SLA performance, risks, issues, continuous improvement items, and agreed actions.

· Support contract governance by tracking service obligations, reporting SLA breaches, coordinating remediation plans, and escalating risks when required.

· Collaborate with Incident, Problem, Change, Capacity, Availability, and Continual Improvement teams to improve service reliability and operational effectiveness.

· Maintain the service level management framework, including reporting standards, measurement definitions, service catalog alignment, and governance cadence.

· Manage customer expectations through clear communication, transparent reporting, and professional handling of service-related concerns or escalations.

· Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance service quality, reduce recurring issues, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen customer confidence.
