Description
Role introduction
HSO is a leading Microsoft Business Transformation Partner with over 3,000 professionals worldwide and more than 30 years of experience helping organizations transform the way they work. We combine deep industry expertise with the full power of the Microsoft Cloud, delivering solutions across Dynamics 365, Azure, Data & AI, Power Platform, and Managed Services. As a long-standing member of Microsoft's Inner Circle and a trusted global partner, we help organizations modernize operations, unlock data-driven insights, and accelerate business outcomes through innovation.
Role Overview:
As a Monitoring Service Owner within HSO Global Managed Services (GMS), you are accountable for the full lifecycle of a managed service — from design and transition through operation and retirement. In this role, you will own a portfolio of managed services. The first and primary of these is HSO’s Monitoring Service — the capability responsible for delivering visibility into the health, performance, and reliability of customer environments across cloud and hybrid infrastructure — with additional services to be defined and brought under your ownership over time. You serve as the single point of accountability for service performance, ensuring alignment with business strategy, adherence to service level agreements (SLAs), and continuous improvement. You will collaborate with HSO Business Unit Managed Services Service Lines, Microsoft, HSO Global Marketing, third party partners (as required), strategic customers to ensure services are reliable, scalable, and valuable.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic Alignment

• Translate business requirements into service capabilities and outcomes
• Work with HSO Marketing to represent the service unique value proposition and collaborate to position the service in the market
• Monitor managed global service pipeline

• Coordinate service design with BU MS Service Lines, and coordinate global activities through to BAU
• Coordinate and validate BU Managed Services SL deliver readiness

Service Level Management
• Define, negotiate, and monitor SLAs and OLAs to ensure consistent service delivery
• Track service performance and customer satisfaction, initiating corrective actions when needed
• Maintain service definition and SLA/OLA implementation in tNext
• Ensure service reliability, availability, and scalability in alignment with business expectations
Continuous Improvement
• Collaborate with BU MS SL Continual Service Improvement (CSI) teams to identify and implement service enhancements
• Use data-driven insights to refine service delivery and improve customer outcomes
• Foster a culture of innovation and proactive problem-solving within the broad HSO BU service teams
Monitoring Service Leadership (Primary Service)
The Monitoring Service is the primary service owned by this role today. As the service portfolio grows, the same ownership principles below will extend to additional services.
• Own the strategy and roadmap for HSO’s Monitoring Service, ensuring it continues to deliver measurable value as customer environments evolve
• Maintain sufficient technical depth in cloud and serverless monitoring to lead, challenge, and guide the monitoring team — evaluating trade-offs, shaping priorities, and making informed decisions without needing to be hands-on
• Stay ahead of market trends in observability and monitoring for cloud-native, serverless, and event-driven architectures, and translate those trends into actionable service improvements
• Define how monitoring can proactively improve customer experience — through smarter alerting, anomaly detection, synthetic monitoring, and root-cause acceleration
• Drive automation within the monitoring service to reduce manual effort, accelerate incident response, and improve consistency of outcomes
• Evaluate and recommend emerging monitoring and AIOps platforms, shaping the service’s tooling direction with a long-term perspective
Stakeholder Representation
• Represent the service in customer service escalations as required
• Participate in RCA analysis and service remediation tasks
• Act as the voice of the service in cross-functional discussions with IT, business units, and external partners
• Communicate service strategy, performance, and roadmap to stakeholders regularly
Financial Accountability
• Manage the global service budget, including forecasting, cost optimization, and ROI tracking
• Develop business cases for service investments and expansions
• Ensure financial transparency and alignment with organizational priorities
Service Catalog Management
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date service catalog entries in the Service Portfolio
• Ensure service descriptions, SLAs, and support models are clearly documented and accessible
• Promote service awareness and adoption across the organization
KPIs
• Global Service Revenue % Growth
• Global SLA Attainment %
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• 5+ years in service management or product management roles within technology environments
• Strong understanding of ITIL principles and service lifecycle management
• Familiarity with Microsoft technologies including Azure, Dynamics 365, and Power Platform
• Working knowledge of application and/or cloud monitoring and observability principles, including how to monitor serverless, event-driven, and microservices-based architectures
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, or equivalent) at a level sufficient to evaluate tooling, challenge technical decisions, and lead strategic direction
• Awareness of AIOps concepts, automated alerting, and proactive remediation approaches and their practical application in managed services
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage global service delivery
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and strategic planning skills
• Experience in manufacturing and/or wholesale industries is a plus
• Willingness to travel across Europe, North America, and India

“We’re becoming more international”
Expats bring fresh ideas and new energy. But they also face challenges. A new country, a different culture, unfamiliar work habits – and on top of that, building a social life.
To exchange experiences and build connections, an expat community was created. Not a formal club, but a space where international colleagues can meet – over lunch, at a drinks event or just for a good conversation.
We spoke with three of them about their experience: what was it like arriving in the Netherlands? What stands out in the work culture here? And what does it mean to be part of this community?

"Not your diploma, but your drive. Not your experience, but your curiosity." That seems unthinkable – but not at HSO. "With the right basic attitude, anyone can get started here," says Henk-Jan Brommer, manager of HSO Academy. It sounds ambitious, but practice shows that it works.

Collaborating with other business units
Professional development begins with collaboration. The biggest steps are taken when we combine our knowledge and talents. Take Albert Hol (Project Manager) and Gerben Mulder (Consultant Management).
They worked together on a project for a large retailer, where the billing process was renewed within Dynamics Finance & Operations using Azure Functions. The solution enables the retailer to process and invoice about 150,000 order lines quickly and accurately every day.
