Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical ITSM Service & Reporting Analyst to support our IT Service Management (ITSM) operations through performance monitoring, reporting, and metrics analysis. This role is instrumental in driving service quality, regulatory compliance, and operational transparency across our IT estate, with a particular focus on business-critical systems in a regulated financial services environment.

You will be responsible for producing high-quality reports, dashboards, and insights to inform service reviews, incident trends, change success rates, SLA adherence, and control compliance. You will work closely with Service Owners, IT Operations, Risk & Compliance, and senior stakeholders to ensure data is accurate, meaningful, and actionable.

• Validate and reconcile data for regulatory and audit reporting, including compliance with frameworks such as PCI DSS, DORA, ACPR and GDPR.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of control evidence and audit response materials related to ITSM process adherence.

Process Support & Governance

• Support process owners (e.g., Incident, Change, Problem) with ad-hoc reporting, metrics tracking, and trend analysis.
• Participate in post-incident reviews, change reviews, and service improvement initiatives by providing relevant metrics and commentary.
• Contribute to continual service improvement (CSI) activities by identifying performance bottlenecks or process inefficiencies.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Business Analytics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2–4 years of experience in IT Service Management reporting, operations, or service analytics.
• Working knowledge of ITIL framework; ITIL Foundation certification preferred.
• Proficiency with ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, BMC Remedy, or Jira Service Management.
• Strong skills in data analysis, Excel (pivot tables, lookups), and Power BI or similar visualization tools.
• Attention to detail with the ability to interpret and present complex data to technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a financial services or regulated industry (e.g., banking, fintech, insurance).
• Familiarity with operational risk reporting or internal/external audit processes.
• Understanding of cloud-based service operations and performance monitoring.
• Exposure to SQL, scripting, or automation tools (e.g., Python, Power Automate) is a plus.

Key Competencies

• Analytical and data-driven mindset
• Accuracy and attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Service-oriented and collaborative approach
• Ability to manage multiple reporting cycles and deadlines
• Curiosity and drive for continuous improvement
