About Radian Arc
Radian Arc, now part of InferX, Submer's AI cloud and GPU infrastructure platform, provides an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platform for running cloud gaming, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications inside telecommunication carrier networks. Our teams across the USA, Australia, Central Europe, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan offer telecom operators a GPU-based edge computing platform without the need for capital expenditure, facilitating low latency and improved economics for value-added services and the monetization of 5G investments.
What impact you will have
Mission: Own service delivery and operational governance for customer deployments in the assigned region, ensuring SLA compliance, controlled change execution, strong customer communication, and effective coordination between local operations, engineering, vendors, and telco stakeholders.
You are the senior operational owner for your region and ensure that customer services are delivered reliably, incidents and changes are managed professionally, and customer-facing communication remains clear, structured, and trustworthy. You act as the bridge between the customer, local operational staff, and internal engineering teams.
We are looking for a self-motivated Senior Service Delivery Manager to join our growing team. In this role, you will own service delivery for one of our operating regions and take accountability for customer-facing operational excellence across one or more deployments.
This is not a pure project management or ticket-management role. It is a senior operations leadership role focused on service reliability, SLA performance, incident and change governance, executive-level communication, and structured coordination across support, engineering, vendors, and customer stakeholders.
Within our operating model, each region has one Senior SDM who owns the operational relationship and governance framework for that region. Local Operations Engineers provide business-hours operational coverage in the deployment time zone, while Field Service Technicians or customer’s remote hands support hands-on datacenter activities where needed. The Senior SDM provides oversight, escalation leadership, customer steering, and operational accountability across that structure.
What you’ll do
Own customer-facing service delivery for the assigned region, with accountability for SLA adherence, service quality, and operational governance.
Act as the primary operational escalation point above local Operations Engineers for major incidents, service degradation, chronic issues, and change risk.
Define, implement, and continuously improve incident, problem, change, escalation, and communication processes across customer environments.
Lead or chair operational review and change-control discussions, and ensure that high-risk changes are properly assessed, communicated, and tracked.
Approve or govern root-cause analysis outcomes and ensure corrective and preventive actions are assigned, tracked, and closed.
Coordinate closely with internal engineering, vendors, telco stakeholders, and local support teams to maintain service continuity.
Build customer confidence through clear executive communication, daily incident/status reporting where needed, and well-structured service review cadences.
Oversee operational readiness for new deployments, including runbooks, access, tooling, monitoring baselines, on-call setup, patching coordination, and handover into steady state.
Use service data and operational KPIs such as MTTA, MTTR, change success rate, RCA follow-up closure, and patch compliance to improve delivery quality.
Ensure the support model is aligned with the staffing structure: local business-hours coverage, after-hours rotation, escalation paths, and regional oversight.
Maintain sufficient technical awareness of the platform stack to triage correctly and communicate credibly across infrastructure, cloud, Kubernetes, orchestration, observability, IAM, and metering domains.
Platform context:
The Senior Service Delivery Manager operates in a platform environment that is expanding beyond traditional infrastructure operations into a broader GPU cloud platform engineering model.
From a service-delivery perspective, this means the SDM must operate across a platform that is no longer defined only by virtual machines and generic cloud operations, but by the coordinated delivery of multiple technical domains and specialist teams. The SDM does not own the implementation of those systems directly, but is expected to understand their operational dependencies, service impact, escalation paths, and readiness implications.
Operationally, you must therefore understand the platform as a combination of:
Customer-facing control plane services,
Cloud and compute orchestration,
Kubernetes-based workload environments,
Storage and data-path dependencies,
Observability and telemetry systems,
Deployment automation and release processes,
And the specialized engineering teams that own these domains.
For the SDM role, the practical implication is that service delivery is not limited to incident coordination. It includes ensuring that incidents, maintenance windows, changes, RCAs, patching, customer communications, and operational readiness are properly coordinated across these technical ownership domains. The SDM should be able to translate platform complexity into clear customer communication, structured service governance, and effective escalation toward the correct engineering function.
What you’ll need
Excellent communication skills: Ability to clearly and effectively communicate with customers, vendors and internal teams, both verbally and in writing.
Technical knowledge: Understanding of the services being delivered and related technical concepts, including senior AI/ML/GPUaaS operations with strong all-round infrastructure knowledge (cloud, networking, DevOps).
Problem-solving skills: Ability to analyze issues, identify root causes, and find solutions to resolve client problems (SLAs, ITIL processes and customer-facing operations).
Customer service focus: Commitment to providing exceptional customer service and exceeding client expectations.
Organizational skills: Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize effectively.
Analytical skills: Capability to interpret data and identify trends to inform decision-making.
5+ years’ experience in telecom or data center management a plus.

Attractive compensation package reflecting your expertise and experience.
A great work environment characterised by friendliness, international diversity, flexibility, and a hybrid-friendly approach.
You'll be part of a fast-growing scale-up with a mission to make a positive impact, offering an exciting career evolution.
