CMDB Manager - Manchester (Hybrid)
£56,000 + Benefits
The Role
If you enjoy bringing structure to complex technology environments, improving data quality, and creating the foundations that enable better IT decision-making, this CMDB Manager role offers a genuine opportunity to make an impact.
This is a newly created position and will play a key part in the implementation of a new CMDB platform. You'll take ownership of Configuration Management across the technology estate, ensuring the CMDB becomes a trusted source of truth that supports operational excellence, governance, and service delivery.
The Opportunity
This is more than a BAU CMDB role.
You'll have the chance to build the Configuration Management capability from the ground up, defining processes, establishing governance, driving adoption, and ensuring the organisation gets real value from its CMDB investment.
Working closely with Service Management, Change, Asset Management, Infrastructure, and Support teams, you'll become the subject matter expert for Configuration Management and help embed it as a core ITSM discipline across the business.
