1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Service Delivery Associates act as a primary point of contact for all external and internal customers with any service-related needs. I support the customer journey for the Managed Print Service from onboarding through to renewal by providing essential engagement back to customers at pivotal points. • Internally I am available to all teams across Softcat with any service-related queries and documentation. • Externally I provide support to customers transitioning into the service and throughout the service term.
