Working closely with suppliers, internal teams, and stakeholders across the business. Tracking early life performance and feeding improvements into BAU. What we're looking for: 5 years of experience in Service Transition. Comfortable managing third parties and internal teams in a complex environment. Knowledge of ITIL (Foundation or above). Experience with large-scale platform or ERP transitions (e.g. D365 or similar). Strong coordination, communication, and stakeholder management skills. ServiceNow experience.
