• Maintain accurate records of all activity, actions, and updates, ensuring clear documentation and effective tracking throughout each process.
• Support major incident handling, root cause analysis, and proactive trend analysis to identify recurring issues and recommend service improvements.
• Monitor, review, and audit service management processes using key performance indicators to ensure quality, compliance, and continuous improvement.
• Coordinate with internal teams and third parties to support change build, testing, implementation, and procurement activity, including raising licence purchase orders.
• Apply knowledge of ITIL-based service management practices, asset and configuration management, and service tools such as ServiceNow to deliver effective operational support.

What you will bring:

• Knowledge of ITIL service management processes and practices.
• Understanding of Incident Management, Asset & Configuration Management, and Change Management processes.
• ITIL Foundation certification or equivalent knowledge.
• Experience using Microsoft Office applications to an intermediate or advanced level.
• Experience working within an IT service environment.
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain accurate records.

It would be great if you had:

• Microsoft MCP qualification or equivalent.
• Experience working to service level agreements (SLAs).
• Familiarity with current developments and future direction within service management, and an understanding of how these can be applied in delivery environments.
• Good working knowledge of service management tools, techniques, and methods, particularly ServiceNow.
• Experience working as a Service Analyst in small to medium-sized service management environments.
