£56,000 + Comprehensive Benefits Package
About the Position
Are you interested in creating order within complex IT landscapes, improving the integrity of technology data, and enabling smarter operational decisions? If so, this CMDB Manager opportunity offers the chance to make a tangible difference.
As a newly established role, you will be instrumental in introducing and developing a new CMDB solution across the organisation. You'll lead the Configuration Management function, ensuring accurate and reliable configuration data is available to support service delivery, operational performance, compliance, and effective technology management.
The Opportunity
This position goes far beyond maintaining an existing CMDB.
You'll play a pivotal role in building the organisation's Configuration Management capability from the outset. From defining governance and processes to encouraging adoption and delivering long-term value, you'll have the autonomy to shape how Configuration Management is embedded across the IT function.
Partnering with teams across Service Management, Infrastructure, Support, Change, and Asset Management, you'll become the recognised expert for Configuration Management and help establish it as a critical component of the wider ITSM framework.
