  • Define and agree SLAs with business owners and ensure they are met, with a focus on client experience. Own the published UK priority order, authorising and logging any deviation from it
  • Ensure operational requirements are understood and prioritised by Product and Tech, and coordinate with the Head of client operations and the Italy Operations Manager so that improvements are replicated across both countries where appropriate.
