• Support transition and release management by helping new or changed services move into live operation with clear support models, knowledge, ownership, communications, and readiness criteria.
• Own the IT knowledge repository, setting standards for knowledge quality, lifecycle review, article ownership, and effective reuse across support and service delivery teams.
• Take ownership of CMDB quality and maturity in ServiceNow, improving data completeness, configuration item relationships, ownership, and the reliability of service reporting.
• Develop and maintain service management processes, SOPs, runbooks, and governance routines that improve consistency, auditability, and scalability across IT operations.
• Oversee IT service metrics, dashboards, KPIs, and SLAs, turning performance data into clear insight, recommendations, and improvement actions for IT leadership.
• Own service communications for major incidents, planned maintenance, releases, service transition activities, and recurring service performance updates.
• Partner with IT teams and business stakeholders to identify service risks, operational bottlenecks, and opportunities to improve user experience, resilience, and service quality.
• Champion practical adoption of ITIL and ServiceNow best practices, helping teams apply service management principles in a way that is simple, measurable, and useful.
