Global IT Service Manager

About the position

As the IT Issue Resolution Manager, you will be part of the Issue Escalation & Response (IE&R) Center of Excellence (CoE) – one of five CoEs within the IT Service function. You’ll lead and resolve user escalations from BCG internal colleagues, including highly visible VIP incidents and escalations related to products, services, or other topics. Your primary focus is to provide executive‐level attention and white‐glove support, serving as a single point of contact for senior leadership. You’ll proactively and reactively manage critical issues, ensuring rapid resolution while minimizing disruptions to schedules and productivity. To achieve this, you will engage with key stakeholders across the business—from Level 1 (Service Center) through to Levels 3 and 4 (Engineering Squads, Product Owners, and vendors)—to accelerate resolution and enhance customer satisfaction. You’ll use a data‐driven approach to tackle emerging problems, identify root causes, and prevent recurrence.
