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

Essential Skills and Experience: It is essential that you have: * Experience creating and implementing Service Design and Improvement programmes * Extensive experience in designing and implementing either ITIL aligned processes or in best practice methodologies * 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

How to apply 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.
