* Fully document relevant processes and ensure they are agreed to by all relevant stakeholders. You will need to be able to manage active and reactive conversations, know when to escalate, and know when to act
* Be a senior Subject Matter Expert in a small team of Improvement Architects identifying problems in the team and ensuring you give constructive and adaptive feedback geared towards achieving successful outcomes
* Engage with Third Party providers where appropriate to ensure plans are seen through to completion
* Proactively support the wider rollout of Governance principles in our Technology Estate, being able to assure standards

* Managing a wide variety of stakeholders with conflicting priorities
It is desirable that you have:
* Experience with implementing Configuration Management Databases in a major tool, e,g. ServiceNow
* ITIL Foundation, or better, Qualified

As part of the application process you will be asked to upload a CV which outlines your experience, skills and fit for the role. Inspire People will assess your application against the essential criteria listed above to compile a longlist of applications, which will then be sifted by DBT. Successful candidates at this stage may be invited straight to interview or asked to complete a short, pre-recorded video screening interview (or alternately provide written answers to questions).
