    Central Business Services (CBS) was created in December 2020 as Deloitte UK's internal, enterprise-wide shared services organisation. The vision for Central Business Services is to drive customer-centric and efficient delivery of business services to our firm, enabled by end-to-end ownership of key processes and the application of consistent technology.

In doing so, it will also allow our other Enabling Functions (EF) to focus on providing excellent business advisory support across the firm.

    Our Service Management & Continuous Service Improvement (CSI) team has been set up as a new capability within Central Business Services to monitor and improve the services provided to the business by our Enabling Functions. A Continuous Service Improvement Manager is required to deliver on our new approach to service improvement; this is an exciting opportunity to shape the way we will ensure our services meet the business's needs and that our people enjoy a 'consumer grade' user experience. This is an Enabling Functions-wide role, across multiple internally facing service areas, and so is ideally suited to someone with a strong track record managing service improvement in Shared Services / Global Business Services (GBS) / Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) environments.
