Service Delivery Manager

Permanent – Hybrid – Bristol

On behalf of a key client in the Bristol area, we are looking for a Service Delivery Manager to join a high-growth, Bristol-based Managed Service Provider (MSP).

The Mission

You'll be the bridge between technical excellence and commercial success. Your goal is to drive disciplined project delivery – from scoping and SOW quality to final invoicing – ensuring every project hits its margin targets while maintaining the high quality customers expect.

What You'll Own

  • Commercial P&L: Driving gross margin for all project-based work.
  • End-to-End Lifecycle: Owning scoping, SOWs, change-order governance, and customer sign-off.
  • Team Leadership: Managing and developing a team of Project Engineers and Digital Developers.
  • Strategic Voice: Attending weekly leadership meetings to contribute to overall delivery strategy.
  • Operational Excellence: Refining the "way we work" using tools like HaloPSA and structured frameworks.

Who You Are

  • The Experience: 5+ years in an MSP, IT consultancy, or tech professional services environment.
  • The Mindset: You understand the economics of project work – the difference between scope and change, and why gross margin matters.
  • The Literacy: Solid technical understanding of Microsoft Cloud (M365/Azure), networking, and security. You don't need to be the deepest engineer, but you must be able to challenge an estimate or validate a scope.
  • The Drive: You're motivated by building structure where there is currently goodwill and effort, but inconsistent process.

Why This Role

This is a hybrid role based in Bristol (typically 3 days office / 2 remote). It offers a "seat at the table" in a business that uses a structured operating framework (EOS) to ensure every team member has clear metrics, priorities, and support.
