As Global Head of Managed Services, you will be accountable for the performance and growth of our managed services offering. This offering spans across a portfolio of tier-one financial services clients, and you will also ensure day-to-day excellence.

You will lead a globally distributed team of technical specialists and be the face of the function. Building trusted, lasting relationships with client stakeholders from operations leads to C-suite.

You will report directly to the COO and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Sales to ensure our clients are deriving maximum value from the platform. You will own the roadmap for how managed services evolves as our client base grows.

Client Leadership & Relationships

• Own the client relationship across your entire managed services portfolio, from onboarding to renewal and expansion.
• Build deep, consultative partnerships with senior stakeholders at leading banks, asset managers and other regulated industries.
• Be the trusted escalation point when it matters most. You don't hand things off, you see them through.

Team & Operations

• Lead and mentor a globally distributed managed services team across multiple time zones
• Define and improve the operating model, service level agreement frameworks, and delivery standards
• Foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and client obsession
• Report to the COO on performance metrics, client health, and strategic initiatives

Technical Delivery

• Get into the weeds to understand what's running, what's failing, and what needs to change.
• Oversee complex onboarding programmes and ensure technical configurations meet client requirements
• Live by the right metrics, when something moves in the wrong direction, you've already responding before the client has noticed.
• Drive adoption of AI tooling across the managed services function to accelerate delivery, reduce manual toil, and surface insights faster for clients
• Be the Voice of the Field and collaborate directly with Engineering and Product on platform feedback loops driven by real client experience

Commercial & Strategic
