This role owns CMDB process, governance, data quality, and execution, while partnering with the Ivanti platform administration team, which retains responsibility for the underlying tool configuration and technical maintenance. The initial emphasis of the role is on standing up the Configuration Management framework, defining standards and lifecycle controls, and establishing governance cadences. Once foundational processes and baselines are in place, the role shifts toward ongoing execution, data quality management, and continual improvement to support Incident, Problem, and Change Management.
People: Partner with technology, infrastructure, application, and service owners to define CI ownership, data responsibilities, and update expectations. Design and deliver education and enablement to ensure CMDB standards and processes are understood and consistently followed. Facilitate CMDB governance forums, certification cycles, and data quality review sessions. Act as a trusted operational partner to Incident, Problem, and Change teams, ensuring the CMDB supports execution rather than becoming a compliance exercise. Client: Ensure CMDB data enables accurate impact assessment, root cause analysis, and change risk evaluation. Provide confidence to business and IT leaders that CMDB data is reliable during major incidents and high-risk changes. Translate CMDB health, coverage, and data quality metrics into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders.

Define and operationalize CMDB population and maintenance processes, including onboarding, updates, validations, audits, and exception handling. Establish and operate governance cadences to certify accuracy, drive remediation, and track corrective actions. Execute ongoing CMDB data quality management, coordinating remediation with CI owners and service teams.

The Configuration Manager coordinates across CI owners, service teams, and platform administrators to drive outcomes and ensure CMDB integrity. This role is a senior individual contributor position and does not currently have direct people management responsibilities.
