About The Opportunity

We are seeking an IT Service Level Management Process Owner to establish and continuously improve Service Level Management (SLM) across our services environment. This role will define and standardize our IT services, build a scalable SLA/OLA framework, and run ongoing governance and continual improvement—leveraging ServiceNow as the system of record for service definitions, service performance reporting, and stakeholder review cadence.

This is a process ownership, governance, and continuous improvement role. The role partners closely with infrastructure, workplace technology, application/platform teams, and service owners to drive measurable service outcomes.

Skills And Experience We Value

Service Definition & Service Portfolio/Catalog

• Lead the effort to define and document IT services end-to-end (purpose/value, customers, scope, service boundaries, dependencies, support model, hours, critical workflows, and ownership).
• Establish and maintain a consistent service taxonomy and standard service definition templates.
• Build/maintain the service portfolio and catalog structure in ServiceNow (e.g., service offering structure, ownership fields, support groups, relationships/dependencies).
• Partner with service owners to define service “health” measures: KPIs/SLIs, customer experience indicators, and operational measures (availability, reliability, request fulfillment performance, incident impact).
  
  

Service Performance Reporting & Governance

• Design and run recurring service reviews (monthly/quarterly) with service owners and stakeholders, covering performance trends, breaches, root causes, and improvement plans.
• Build and maintain service performance dashboards in ServiceNow (and/or BI tools), enabling transparent reporting on:
• SLA/OLA attainment and trends
• Incident impact on services (MTTR/MTBF trends where applicable)
• Chronic issues and problem backlog health
• Request performance for service offerings
• Customer experience indicators (e.g., satisfaction where measured)
• Establish “single source of truth” reporting and definitions to eliminate metric ambiguity (“one set of numbers”).
  

Continual Improvement & Standardization

• Maintain and prioritize a continual improvement backlog for service performance and governance maturity; track benefits and outcomes.
• Define policy/standards for introducing/changing/retiring services (operational readiness criteria, measurement readiness, ownership/RACI).
• Facilitate post-incident/service retrospectives focused on systemic improvements, ensuring actions are owned and completed.
  
  

ServiceNow Enablement (ITSM tool of record)

• Partner with the ServiceNow platform team to configure/enhance capabilities that support SLM and service definition, such as:
• Service portfolio/catalog structures and ownership models
• SLA definitions, workflows, breach notifications, and reporting
• Service mapping/relationships (where used) to tie incidents/changes to services
• Consistent CI/service relationship hygiene needed for reliable reporting
• Act as the process voice-of-the-business for SLM requirements and backlog items related to ServiceNow.
  

Skills And Experience We Value

• 5+ years in IT service management, service governance, SLM, or IT operations process ownership.
• Proven experience defining IT services and implementing SLAs/OLAs across multiple teams.
• Strong working knowledge of ITIL practices, especially Service Level Management and Continual Improvement (plus solid understanding of incident/problem/change).
• Hands-on experience with ServiceNow ITSM/ITOM concepts as a system of record for services and reporting (admin not required; must be able to specify requirements and validate outcomes).
• Strong analytical skills to turn operational data into actionable insights.
• Understanding of the ServiceNow platform and its ITSM capabilities.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to effectively interact with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team-oriented, fast-paced environment.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a focus on delivering practical and effective solutions.
• Technical certification in ITIL/ITSM is highly desirable.
  
  

What Would Make You Really Stand Out

• Experience with ITIL certifications (ITIL Foundation, ITIL Specialist modules).
• Experience with other ITSM tools and methodologies.
• Project management experience.
• Experience in change management practices
