Delt is recruiting for a new role within our Service Management Office, and we’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about doing IT service management properly.
This position sits at the heart of how we govern, improve and embed ITIL-aligned practices across Delt. Your role will begin with an initial focus on growing your understanding of all the processes that sit within our SMO, particularly those with a high demand, before progressing into broader service management activities as your experience develops.
If you’re process-minded, service-focused, a confident communicator, and you enjoy working with teams to make things actually happen, this could be right up your street.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll work closely with service owners, technical teams and stakeholders across Delt, providing guidance, governance and hands‑on support across ITIL practices, including:
Change Management
* Managing and governing the end‑to‑end change lifecycle to minimise risk
* Owning and maintaining:
* Requests for Change (RFCs)
* Forward Schedule of Change
* Change records and approvals
* Post‑Implementation Reviews
* Supporting the identification of root causes and preventing repeat incidents
* Managing:

* Workarounds and resolution reporting
Asset & Configuration Management
* Maintaining accurate, reliable service data including:

Knowledge Management

* Knowledge base management
* Usage and effectiveness metrics
Service Validation
* Working with service owners to ensure new or changed services are ready to go live
* Supporting:
* Service Acceptance Criteria
* Test plans and results
* Service acceptance records and documentation
This is a varied role, and you’ll be expected to be flexible – capturing actions, following them through, and working collaboratively to keep service management moving forward.
What we’re looking for
* Experience working within an ITIL-aligned service management environment
* ITIL v3 or v4 Foundation level knowledge (qualified preferred, but demonstrable experience is absolutely fine)
* Strong process focus, with the confidence to follow governance and improve it where needed
* Excellent communication skills - written, verbal and stakeholder‑facing
* A relationship‑focused mindset and the ability to work calmly with multiple teams
* Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
* Someone who actively lives Delt’s values, especially collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement, and brings a positive, service‑focused approach to everything they do.
* Confidence influencing others and ensuring actions don’t just get logged – they get done
* Working knowledge of ServiceNow, including reporting and data analysis would be highly desirable
* Awareness of IT infrastructure and how services are delivered end‑to‑end
