Skills

ITIL Service Management & Service Transition

  • Strong experience supporting project delivery to ensure service stability at launch, aligned to ITIL Service Management practices
  • Proven ability to guide project teams through key service milestones while maintaining operational readiness
  • Expertise in defining and agreeing contractual SLAs with third‑party suppliers to ensure robust, reliable service delivery
  • Skilled in designing and validating end‑to‑end support models, ensuring they are operationally sound and scalable
  • Effective stakeholder management, coordinating cross‑functional teams (eg incident management, support teams, technical stakeholders) to prepare for go‑live
  • Experience integrating third‑party services into large-scale digital platforms, ensuring clear ownership, escalation paths and support readiness

Communication Skills

I provide clear, executive‑level communications during service‑impacting incidents, delivering accurate timescales, high‑level technical updates, and service impact assessments to senior stakeholders. I lead major incident conference calls, coordinating application support teams, service managers, and third‑party suppliers to ensure effective collaboration and rapid resolution. I proactively manage service and business risk during incidents, ensuring issues are escalated appropriately to protect customers and minimise operational impact across BT.

Customer Focus

I bring a strong, long‑standing customer‑focused mindset developed from early experience in retail, where I built effective communication and interpersonal skills and learned to remain calm and focused in fast‑paced, high‑pressure environments. This commitment to customer service was quickly recognised after joining BT, when I was awarded during National Customer Service Week 2017, being one of only two colleagues in Nottingham acknowledged by senior management. As a Service Manager, I continue to champion the customer by ensuring new services are introduced with customer needs at the forefront and that existing services consistently meet agreed contractual SLAs, delivering the high standard of service customers expect and deserve.

Team Player, Incident Reviews and Improvement Focussed

In my Incident Management role, I consistently supported the delivery of team KPIs through strong collaboration and teamwork. I helped maintain team motivation by remaining positive, enthusiastic, and supportive, encouraging open discussion and the sharing of ideas to drive effective solutions. I regularly covered for my Manager, leading KPI huddles to review incidents, identify root causes, and agree improvement actions to strengthen future response. In my current Service Management role, I apply this improvement‑focused mindset by identifying stakeholder pain points and presenting clear business cases that demonstrate how targeted investment can drive measurable service and business value.

Up-selling, Understanding Customer's Needs and Business Growth

I was a top‑performing sales colleague at BT Nottingham, generating close to £500k in revenue by the end of Q2. This demonstrates my ability to sell effectively by understanding customer needs, the wider product landscape, and how solutions can deliver tangible value to a customer's business. I developed a strong understanding of different business models and was able to recommend products and services best aligned to customer requirements. This role gave me valuable insight into the end‑to‑end customer journey, experience I have since leveraged in subsequent roles at BT to better represent the customer perspective and drive improved service outcomes.
