The posting

So, you’re the kind of Service Delivery leader who actually delivers?

You know the type. Calm during escalations. Commercial without being cold. Operational without being robotic. You can speak to a CIO and a Level 1 tech in the same hour, and both walk away feeling heard.

We’re looking for a high-performing Service Delivery Lead to manage one of our national pods (around 12 to 15 legends), largely within our Philippines-based team. You’ll own the operational heartbeat of a portfolio of clients, primarily support-focused with some crossover into other areas of the business when things get interesting.

If you like accountability, autonomy, and not being micromanaged into oblivion, keep reading.

About First Focus We are Australia’s best mid-market Managed Service Provider. Not our words, Cloudtango’s. Eight years running.

We now have 450+ people across Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, and we are still growing. Steadily. Sustainably. Without drama.

We are informed, aligned, supportive, and we reward performance. That is not a poster on the wall. That is how we run the place.

You can read more about how we operate here: https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/

Why this role is different

  • You’ll lead a genuine cross-border pod, not just “have exposure”
  • You’ll influence engineers and support techs, working with real SMB and mid-sized clients
  • You’ll be trusted to run your portfolio without micromanagement or reporting theatre
  • You’ll help embed AI and automation into service delivery in practical, outcome-focused ways

This role embodies Win Together and Be the Solution. We don’t throw problems over fences. We fix them properly.

Requirements

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading a pod of support professionals and owning their performance, alignment and growth
  • Taking accountability for SLAs, client satisfaction, escalations and overall operational excellence
  • Acting as the primary operational escalation point for clients and collaborating closely with Dispatch, Projects, Engineering and Client Services
  • Driving continuous improvement, using AI and automation to eliminate recurring issues and lift efficiency and quality
  • Ensuring support agreements are met, measured and continually improved

Yes, there will be meetings. But they’ll have a purpose.

What we’re looking for These are non-negotiables:

  • Proven Service Delivery leadership experience within an MSP, MSSP or IT integrator
  • Strong commercial acumen and confidence managing senior stakeholders
  • Deep understanding of ITIL-based service delivery
  • Experience leading multi-location or offshore teams
  • A proactive, accountable, solutions-focused mindset
  • A genuine interest in AI and automation as tools to solve operational challenges
  • Alignment with our values

If you’re brilliant but political, this won’t work. If you’re calm, commercial, curious, not to mention excited about improving how things work, we’ll get along very well.

Benefits

What you’ll get

  • Competitive salary package including up to $120k + super + other benefits.
  • Free access to Uprise, including 1:1 coaching sessions from qualified psychologists or counsellors.
  • Flexible working for work-life balance.
  • “Never Stop Growing”: 10 paid study days per year, exam fees paid, pay rises for certifications (conditions apply).
  • Weekly internal training and access to our learning library.
  • FastTrack mentoring program.
  • MAD Council participation, focused on equality, charity and environment.
  • Tesla company car option (conditions apply).
  • Regular social events and a genuinely strong team culture.

First Focus welcomes applications from Neurodiverse candidates. We recommend & appreciate disclosure along with the application so that a copy of our Neurodiversity Statement can be provided outlining the flexible options we can offer to best showcase your skills.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
