Enterprise Service Management Delivery Lead
Central London / Hybrid – 9 months 
£350 – £385 per day inside IR35

We are looking for an Enterprise Service Management (ESM) Delivery Lead to support a major transition from programme delivery into business-as-usual.

You’ll lead the remaining work packages of a large ESM programme, manage a smooth transition into BAU, and support the rollout of a new ESM operating model. This is a business-facing role working closely with technical teams to enhance our enterprise front door ticketing and workflow product.
You will manage a small team (1–3 people) and play a key role in driving service improvements across a complex, fast-moving environment.

Duties

  • Deliver programme work packages and lead transition into BAU
  • Drive service improvements, customer experience insights, and continual service management
  • Run service reviews and produce performance reporting
  • Prioritise high-impact initiatives across the ESM portfolio
  • Collaborate with technical teams on enhancements (e.g. telephony, chat, reporting)
  • Shape governance and support the long-term ESM operating model

Key Experience

  • Strong experience delivering services in complex organisations
  • Programme delivery experience, ideally involving ESM
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Ability to lead service reviews and turn data into actionable insights
  • Knowledge of ITIL or similar service management frameworks
  • Confident working in business-facing environments (not a technical role)

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established organisation on an initial 9 month contract
