Vice President Service Delivery

Position Summary

Nuvollo is a rapidly growing managed services provider (MSP) of approximately 100 employees, delivering managed IT services including help desk, private cloud hosting (general-purpose Windows servers and ERP hosting), managed security services, professional services, AI consulting and security/governance — to small, mid-market & enterprise commercial clients across the United States and Canada. With primary offices in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey and Toronto, Ontario, a mix of US office-based/hybrid/remote & an offshore workforce providing 24x7 coverage, and growth through both organic expansion and planned tuck-in acquisitions of smaller MSPs, Nuvollo requires disciplined, scalable, and consistently excellent service delivery.

Reporting to the CEO, the Vice President, Service Delivery owns the end-to-end delivery of all managed, professional, cloud, and internal IT services. This executive leads a multi-site, cross-border organization comprising two regional Client Experience (help desk) teams (US and Canada), a Professional Services team (onboarding/offboarding, project management, project implementation, and support escalations), a Cloud Operations team (private cloud hosting in Nuvollo datacenters), and internal IT systems support and administration. The VP is accountable for client satisfaction, service quality (SLA’s), operational efficiency, service margin, and the scalability of the delivery platform — ensuring service delivery keeps pace with rapid organic and acquisition-driven growth while maintaining a unified, high-standard client experience across both countries. The VP is also responsible for full management of the Nuvollo’s PSA, RMM, and all other internal systems and plays a significant role in assisting with response to the annual SOC 2 Type 2 Audit.

This is a hands-on executive role appropriate to a ~100-person and growing organization: the VP is expected to remain close to operations, coach and develop a team of four direct leaders (plus an individual-contributor internal IT systems administrator), and personally drive key initiatives such as acquisition integration, service delivery standardization, and delivery tooling and automation. The VP, Service Delivery is an active member of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), participating in setting the overall strategic direction of the business. They will also participate in company Board meetings monthly.
