5. Work collaboratively by establishing and maintaining strong relationships with project teams, Service Management, and third-party suppliers to solve problems and overcome obstacles.
6. Drive the transition process, including prioritisation, risk management, and dependency activities to ensure effective transition.
7. Onboard the new service onto the Home Office ServiceNow ITSM tooling, working effectively with project teams, the Service Architect, support teams, technical teams, and commercial teams to ensure all parties have a thorough understanding of the service they are providing or consuming.
