This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a ServiceNow Change and Release Manager based in the United Kingdom.
This is a fully remote freelance opportunity focused on end-to-end governance of Change and Release Management within an enterprise IT environment.
You will take primary ownership of ServiceNow change and release processes, ensuring they are controlled, compliant, and aligned with business and technology requirements.
The role operates in a strictly regulated GxP environment, requiring strong knowledge of validation evidence, audit requirements, and risk-based change assessment.
You will coordinate complex release schedules across platform configurations, custom integrations, and vendor-driven updates.
The position also involves leading Change Advisory Board meetings and representing platform governance in cross-functional and executive forums.
You will apply ITIL principles across Change, Release, Incident, and Problem Management to minimize disruption to production environments.
Success requires strong autonomy, sound technical judgement, executive communication skills, and the ability to make governance decisions independently.
Accountabilities
- Take end-to-end operational ownership of Change and Release Management processes within ServiceNow, acting as the primary authority for platform governance.
- Evaluate change requests independently, assess technical and operational risks, and determine the appropriate approval and governance pathways.
- Review Change Records to ensure they contain the required Computer System Validation evidence and documentation for GxP-regulated environments.
- Plan, coordinate, and execute complex release schedules across multiple concurrent workstreams, including platform configurations, custom integrations, and vendor-driven updates.
- Manage dependencies, risks, approvals, and timelines across release activities to support controlled and reliable deployments.
- Lead Change Advisory Board meetings and facilitate effective decision-making around proposed changes and releases.
- Represent ServiceNow platform governance in cross-functional forums with internal leads, technical stakeholders, and executive representatives.
- Enforce ITIL-aligned practices across Change, Release, Incident, and Problem Management workflows.
- Monitor governance processes to minimize production disruption while maintaining compliance and operational stability.
- Maintain strong documentation and audit readiness across change and release activities.
