• Ensure Configuration Management practices are aligned with internal risk and compliance controls, as well as external regulatory frameworks (e.g., PCI DSS, DORA, ACPR, GDPR).

• Produce and maintain documentation for policy, process, governance, and evidence to support audits and operational risk reviews.

• Drive adoption and usage of CMDB across technology and business stakeholders to enhance service insight and control.

• Define and track KPIs, CI health scores, and data completeness to improve CMDB accuracy and usage.

• Lead regular CMDB governance forums with stakeholders to review data quality, service mapping progress, and audit readiness.

• Identify automation opportunities and work with tool teams to integrate discovery tools, CI automation, and orchestration platforms (e.g., ServiceNow Discovery, SCCM, Qualys, AWS Config).

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

• 8+ years of experience in IT Service Management, with at least 2 years focused on Configuration and/or Service Management.

• Strong understanding of ITIL processes (v3 or v4); ITIL Foundation required, Managing Professional or Intermediate preferred.

• Experience working in a regulated financial services environment (e.g., banking, capital markets, fintech).
