Role Summary The Cyber Service Integration Manager is responsible for owning and operating the first-line service-management framework for Cyber services supporting EMEA, Americas Division (inc Canada & Brazil) and APAC. This includes end-to-end service integration, international service reporting, service catalogue management, SLA and KPI governance, service-performance controls and continual improvement.

Operating within the EMEA-led SIAM integration hub, the role will coordinate Cyber teams, regional technology teams, intragroup providers and third-party suppliers to provide a consistent, controlled and evidence-based view of Cyber service performance across supported regions and entities.

The anticipated salary range for this role is £80,000 - £120,000, with the final offer determined based on the candidate's skills, experience, role scope, location, and relevant market factors. In addition to base salary, the role may be eligible for a discretionary incentive award and a competitive benefits package, including core benefits such as pension provision.

Business Area SMBC Group operates within a complex, multi-region and multi-supplier technology and Cyber delivery environment, with Cyber services supporting EMEA, Americas Division (AD) and APAC through internal teams, intragroup service providers and third-party suppliers.

The effectiveness of a Cyber service depends not only on the operation of individual controls or technologies, but also on clear end-to-end ownership, integrated support models, regional alignment, supplier coordination, service performance, operational resilience and effective escalation. Variations in regional operating models, service definitions, data, tooling and supplier responsibilities can make it difficult to establish a single view of whether a Cyber service is performing as intended.

To strengthen this capability, SMBC is implementing a Service Integration and Management (SIAM) operating model with a central service integration capability responsible for coordinating performance, governance and control across the service landscape. The Cyber Service Integration Manager will apply this model to assigned Cyber services, ensuring that operational service management complements Cyber risk and control governance.

The role will drive collaboration across Cyber, IT Service Delivery, regional technology teams and providers, creating a consolidated view of service health, dependencies, risks, issues and improvement priorities across EMEA, AD and APAC.
