Key Responsibilities and Skills
What You'll Do
The Centre of Excellence (COE) is the driving force behind SmartPA, where strategy comes to life. As part of this dynamic, client-facing department, you'll be the heartbeat of our business – delivering high-impact, tailored support to a key client account daily.
In the role of Client Service Delivery Manager, you'll take ownership of team performance and service delivery excellence. You'll oversee day-to-day operations, solve challenges proactively, and ensure your team consistently delivers measurable value and positive results for our clients.
This particular role is assigned to one of our 'dedicated' clients, meaning you will be representing our brand, whilst working very closely with a global tech giant.
This leadership role is responsible for the overall performance of the team, crucially ensuring client happiness, flawless brand representation, and continuous service quality improvement.
What Your Day Will Look Like
Client Relationship & Advocacy: Serve as the point of escalation and liaison for key clients, actively managing expectations and ensuring a proactive, solution-focused service delivery mindset is maintained across the team.
Performance Leadership: Lead, mentor, and manage the service delivery team, fostering a culture of high performance, accountability, and alignment with company and brand standards.
Continuous Improvement (CI): Utilise feedback (internal audits, QA reports, and client surveys) as actionable intelligence to identify service gaps and drive a formal, continuous improvement agenda.
Quality & Brand Governance: Ensure every client interaction and deliverable meets rigorous quality standards, thereby safeguarding and enhancing brand reputation.
Technology Utilisation: Champion the adoption of relevant technology and AI tools to streamline workflows, predict issues, and improve service efficiency.
Manage multiple projects simultaneously, maintaining a high level of quality under tight deadlines.

About You
