Required qualifications to be successful in this role You'll bring proven service architecture, design or transition experience within a complex, multi-stakeholder environment. You should combine strong IT service management knowledge with practical cloud migration experience and be comfortable influencing both technical and business audiences. Strong judgement, communication and collaborative working will be essential as you take ownership of service outcomes within a highly governed environment. • Proven experience as a Service Architect, Service Designer or Service Transition Lead within complex environments. • Strong knowledge of service management frameworks such as ITIL 4, ISO/IEC 20000 or equivalent. • Demonstrable experience supporting the migration of applications and data from on-premise to cloud environments, including SaaS, PaaS or IaaS. • Deep understanding of the end-to-end service lifecycle, including design, transition, operation and continual improvement. • Experience defining and managing SLAs, KPIs and service models, ideally within enterprise or government environments. • Proven ability to engage and influence stakeholders while bridging business and technical perspectives. • Experience operating within governed environments and applying enterprise service and architectural standards. • Excellent communication, documentation and presentation skills. • Knowledge of DevOps, automation and monitoring tooling for modern service environments is highly desirable. • Understanding of cloud operations, ITSM tooling and CMDBs would be advantageous.
