Position Summary

The Enterprise and Agency Services Manager leads a team responsible for building, enhancing, and

strong customer service, quality assurance, financial oversight, and people management. The ideal

candidate is a service-minded leader who drives outcomes, maintains high standards, and ensures every dollar invested in technology delivers value.

Key Responsibilities

Customer Service & Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for business stakeholders; translate needs into clear roadmaps and deliverables.

  • Establish and maintain SLAs/OLAs; communicate proactively on status, risks, and trade-offs.

  • Drive a customer-first culture—measure and improve CSAT/NPS, reduce friction in user experience, and ensure timely support.

Delivery & Quality Management

  • Own the end-to-end SDLC for in-house and vendor-supported applications: requirements, design, development, testing, release, and support.

  • Enforce quality practices (peer reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, test coverage targets, change management).

  • Partner with QA/SRE to improve reliability and observability (defect escape rate, change failure rate, MTTR, incident trends).

Financial Stewardship

  • Build and manage application budgets and forecasts (CapEx/OpEx), aligning spend to business outcomes and ROI.

  • Track TCO per application; optimize licensing, cloud consumption (FinOps), vendor costs, and support models.

  • Maintain cost transparency—publish unit cost metrics and drive continuous cost/performance improvements.

People Leadership

  • Lead, coach, and develop engineers, analysts, QA, and release managers; cultivate a high performance, inclusive team culture.

  • Manage capacity planning, workforce strategy (hire/build/buy), career pathways, and performance management.

  • Foster collaboration, accountability, and psychological safety; recognize and reward excellence.

Application Portfolio & Governance

  • Own the application portfolio: lifecycle, rationalization, technical debt reduction, and modernization.

  • Ensure alignment with architecture standards, cybersecurity controls, and regulatory compliance (e.g., SOX, HIPAA, PCI, as applicable).

  • Run governance ceremonies for prioritization, demand intake, and change advisory.

Vendor & Contract Management

  • Manage relationships with software vendors, integration partners, and managed services providers; define and enforce SLAs.

  • Evaluate build vs. buy; lead RFPs, contract renewals, and performance reviews.

Operations & Support

  • Oversee L2/L3 support; partner with Service Desk for incident, problem, and knowledge management.

  • Maintain runbooks, playbooks, and documentation; ensure readiness for releases and disaster recovery.

Continuous Improvement

  • Drive retrospectives and improvement backlogs; implement Lean/Agile practices to reduce waste and accelerate flow.

  • Introduce automation where feasible (testing, deployment, monitoring, cost reporting).

Physical Demands and Work Environment

This position works in a comfortable office setting with a computer for a large percentage of the workday. The noise level in the work environment is usually mild. Occasional travel may be required.

Minimum Qualifications

Requirements include a bachelor’s in computer science, information services, engineering, or a related

field and 7–10 years in enterprise applications/software delivery, with at least 3 of those years in people

management.

Preference will be given to candidates who possess
