There’s a big difference between introducing new technology and introducing technology that actually works when it reaches the people using it.
That’s where you come in.
As Service Transition Manager
You will make sure new and changed IT services are genuinely ready for the real world, are properly tested, documented, supported and then handed over into BAU.
But this isn't just a Service Transition role.
You'll also be looking at what happens after technology goes live.
- Why does the same incident keep happening?
- Why is a supplier repeatedly missing expectations?
- What are users telling us that the service data isn't?
- And, most importantly, what are we going to do about it?
You'll work across IT, suppliers and operational teams to identify recurring problems, improve service quality and make technology easier and more reliable for the people using it.
What you'll be doing:

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Own service transition and readiness for new and changed IT services
- Make sure testing, support, documentation, training and handovers are genuinely ready before go-live
- Analyse incidents, service trends and user feedback to find recurring problems
- Drive continual service improvement rather than simply reporting on it
- Manage and challenge technology suppliers against agreed service levels
- Work closely with operational and senior stakeholders to understand where IT could work better
- Identify opportunities to simplify, optimise and automate services
- Help ensure a consistent technology experience across a large multi-site organisation
What we're looking for:
You'll probably come from an IT Service Management, Service Delivery, Service Transition or Service Improvement background.
You'll understand ITIL, service transition, change/CAB, SLAs and supplier management but we're not looking for someone who simply knows the terminology.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're looking for someone who asks questions. Who thinks and plans. Someone who communicates.
Someone prepared to ensure a successful service introduction but also investigate if something goes wrong, get the right people around the table and see the fix/improvement through.
You'll need enough technical knowledge to hold credible conversations with IT teams and suppliers, but just as importantly, you'll be comfortable talking to people who couldn't care less about ITIL, they simply want their technology to work.
Experience within a large, distributed or multi-site environment would be particularly useful.
If you're the sort of person who sees the same service problem for the third time and thinks “Why are we still fixing this instead of stopping it happening?”, we'd like to hear from you.
“It took my CV and asked me questions relevant to understanding what kind of jobs to suggest for me. Suggestions were almost perfect. Jobs were exactly what I’ve been looking for.”
