We are recruiting an IT Support Manager for our London office. The role requires a dynamic, proactive individual with strong technical abilities and a focus on customer service. You will ensure that the IT Support Analysts in your team provide a high level of customer service to their userbase, both through ticket resolution and proactive engagement such as floorwalking. You will also work closely with the other IT Support Managers to provide remote support to other locations, as well as working closely with the IT ServiceDesk Managers to ensure that the escalation process from 1st to 2nd line is seamless and ensures the prompt resolution of issues. Our standard working hours are 9.30am-5.30pm; however, as an inclusive employer, we are willing to consider any flexible working requests.

Candidate Overview

We are looking for candidates who ideally hold the following skills and experience:

• Demonstrable team management experience in an IT support environment in a geographically dispersed team, with the ability to not only manage day-to-day performance but upskill team members.
• Exceptional customer service skills, to be able to build relationships and make connections with key customers.
• A proactive nature to search out opportunities for improvement or get ahead of any potential issues, to allow your team to become a "go to" for fixes.
• Able to show evidence of strong stakeholder management, able to have challenging conversations with senior members of the firm where needed.
• Have the technical skillset in a Windows environment to be able to lead by example and remain hands-on to resolve customer issues personally, where appropriate.

Once your application has been submitted and reviewed, our Recruitment team will share the outcome with you by email. We typically hold two interview stages per vacancy providing the opportunity to meet two members of the hiring team at each stage. The first stage is typically conducted virtually and the second stage typically in person at the office in which the role would be based. However, we strive to remain flexible depending on the requirements of the role or the candidate.

Our strength lies in our differences. We are a Disability Confident and top Stonewall employer, a Valuable 500 member, a signatory of the Race at Work Charter and a proud partner of Neurodiversity in Law. We encourage and value different ideas and styles of thinking. It is with different perspectives that we will find solutions to our clients' most complex challenges. It is how we will deliver outstanding results today, and tomorrow. We want everybody attending an interview to be comfortable and able to fully demonstrate their experience and talents.
