A Day in the Life of a
Service Management Architect

Do you enjoy connecting client expectations with IT services? At Orange, the role of a service management architect is made for that. You design offers, negotiate requirements, and coordinate teams.

But what does a typical day actually look like? Follow Dina, a service management architect at Orange Business in Morocco, as she walks you through her day.

Digest

  • You juggle client coordination, offer design, and team management.
 
  • You operate in a stimulating international environment.
 
  • You learn continuously: monitoring trends, training tools, innovations.
 
  • You build solutions, but above all, you build trusting relationships.

What are the main missions of a service management architect?

It starts with imagining the most suitable solution for each client and each use case. You design these offers. Then, you coordinate teams and optimise IT services to connect needs with results.

"As a service management architect at Orange Business, in Morocco, I enjoy understanding what the client is looking for, their perspective, and how we can find the best solution together. My work is very dynamic and tends to unfold in cycles. Right now, I’m in a busy period, mainly working on client proposals. Luckily, the human side of my role is something I greatly appreciate."

A sense of mutual respect and mindfulness permeates our culture-in fact, it’s the key to our success.

What do you do when you arrive at the office?

You start by preparing your day. You open your calendar, review the latest messages, check off what’s moving forward, and prioritise your tasks. Goal: focus on what matters most. Then it’s action time: strategic meetings, offer design, responding to client needs.

​​​​​​​"When I arrive at the office, I first check my emails. These include client messages, internal communications about an offer, and feedback I might be expecting.
From these emails, I plan my day by making a to-do list (on paper with a pen – I’m a bit old-school!)."
Dina, Service Management Architect at Orange Business

What key skills do you need to succeed in IT service management?

Listen. Rephrase. Propose. These are essential skills. To excel in this role, you need to handle client conversations, understand technical challenges, structure an offer, and support internal teams to achieve the desired outcome. Strong interpersonal skills make all the difference.

"After lunch, I start researching and preparing offers. I’ll present these internally during the week before sharing them with the client.
It’s now time to organise a meeting with external clients. Today, we will align on requirements to build a shared understanding of what we hope to achieve." 
Dina, Service Management Architect at Orange Business

How do you progress in this role?

A quiet moment, an article to read, research to update: you always find a way to feed your curiosity. IT service management evolves quickly. You test tools. You develop your expertise. The key is to stay open to innovation.

"When my workday is less busy, I like to do self-learning. For example, I recently explored new trends in agility within the company."
Dina, Service Management Architect at Orange Business

What is it like to work in an international environment?

You work in a global environment with colleagues from diverse cultures. It’s stimulating and very enriching. Meetings with foreign teams, coordination with a European client, delivery across multiple countries where Orange operates: this is your playground.

"My meetings with the German office are starting. We often collaborate with the European office to support their operations, and fortunately, the time difference isn’t too big.
Working in a multinational environment and meeting people from all backgrounds and cultures are aspects of my job that I love."
Dina, Service Management Architect at Orange Business

How important are interactions at work?

Internal meetings, project check-ins, client discussions, informal chats during breaks: every interaction counts. You align ideas, connect needs, and move decisions forward. And you build solutions together with others.

​​​​​​​"It’s time for the internal team meeting with those working with me on client offers.
 Our discussion will focus on defining and validating any unusual client requirements and the associated negotiations."
Dina, Service Management Architect at Orange Business

Are there quieter moments in your day?

Yes, of course. A walk in the corridors. Lunch with colleagues. A break in the sun. These pauses are part of your rhythm. They help you stay focused and gain clarity.

"Around 11 a.m., I like to take a short break to walk around the office and chat with colleagues before returning to my desk. Today for lunch, my colleagues and I are going to the restaurant in the nearby shopping centre." 
Dina, Service Management Architect at Orange Business
