Service delivery leadership

Close to the service desk, not just the strategy.

Clare has spent eight and a half years specifically in IT service delivery, inside twenty years of broader service delivery leadership — working alongside service desk analysts, engineers, and the managers supporting them. The work spans IT service management, service desk leadership, operational governance, continuous improvement, quality management, and the stakeholder and supplier relationships that keep a service running well.

In practice

What this looks like day to day.

Service desk leadership

Leading service delivery teams through Service Delivery Supervisor, Quality Manager, and Customer Quality Manager roles — close enough to the work to know where it actually breaks down.

ITIL-aligned service management

Operational governance and ITIL-aligned service management, with ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 experience, root cause analysis, and risk management built into how the service runs.

Performance reporting

Board-level reporting in Power BI, KPI and ROI reporting, and CX dashboards that give leaders a live view of service performance, not just activity.

Continuous service improvement

Continual-improvement capability and cross-functional service-improvement approaches, developed within an MSP environment that received public SDI recognition in 2026.

Stakeholder and supplier collaboration

Programme management across process improvement, audits, and operations at Unicomp Ltd, and structured feedback at Select Technology that contributed to supplier product-roadmap discussions.
