Service manager jobs are open in various industries. The role of the service manager, then, varies with the needs of each type of field. In financial fields, for example, the service manager essentially takes on a customer service role through client correspondence and cross sales to get existing clients interested in a product. Service managers, however, are needed in various technical fields, especially the automotive industry. While technical knowledge is required in the former instance, all service manager jobs need someone with excellent customer service and communication skills.

Service manager jobs in the financial industry involve working with existing customers. The service manager is responsible for maintaining each client’s satisfaction with services and making sure the expectations of each are met. He or she keeps the client up to date with recent services and, in many cases, tries to interest the client in new services. He or she may need to meet certain financial goals in selling additional services to the client and may be responsible for getting referrals from clients to grow the business’s client pool.

When the product being sold is of a technical nature, the service manager must be well-versed in the industrial field. Automotive service manager jobs, for example, combine administrative and customer service skills with field service, repairs, part requests, and recovery. He or she should have the background, through experience or a technical degree, to diagnose and repair vehicles and should have the skills and experience to service and correspond with clients and customers.

Depending upon the nature of the position, service manager jobs require a bachelor’s degree – in business, preferably, but any field with enough experience is sufficient. If repairs and industrial knowledge are also required for the job, candidates applying should have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in engineering, automotive, or similar technical field.
