IT Service Management
Position Summary
The IT Service Delivery Manager leads the delivery, management, and continuous improvement of IT services that support TriMark's business and end-user community. Anchored in ITIL 4 and COBIT, this role establishes service-management standards, owns key ITSM processes, administers the ServiceNow platform, and partners across IT and the business to ensure services are reliable, measurable, and continuously improving.
Essential Functions and Responsibilities
Own the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of core ITSM processes, including Incident Management, Request Fulfillment, Knowledge Management, Problem Management, and Change Enablement.
Serve as process owner for Change Enablement: maintain the change policy and risk model, govern the Change Advisory Board (CAB), and chair the CAB or oversee a designated Change Coordinator who facilitates the recurring meeting.
Maintain and evolve the IT Service Catalog so it accurately represents what IT delivers to the business and how to request it.
Develop short- and long-term service and process maturity goals; publish a roadmap and report progress to IT leadership.
ServiceNow Platform Administration: act as the primary ServiceNow administrator, configure forms, workflows, business rules, UI policies, notifications, SLAs, assignment rules, and reporting. Manage platform health, upgrades, plugin activation, instance hygiene, integrations, and access governance in coordination with IT Security.
Partner with stakeholders to translate business requirements into well-scoped ServiceNow enhancements; manage a small backlog of platform improvements.
Knowledge Management and Self-Service: lead the buildout and ongoing curation of the IT Knowledge Base, including authoring standards, review cadence, and retirement of stale content. Drive shift-left initiatives that move resolution closer to the user via the Service Portal, knowledge centered service (KCS) practices, and self-service request flows. Establish KPIs for knowledge effectiveness (deflection rate, article reuse, first-contact resolution) and report against them.
Service Performance, SLAs, and Reporting: define and operate SLAs, OLAs, and underpinning contracts; build and publish the dashboards and KPI reporting that show how IT is performing against them. Conduct service reviews with internal stakeholders and external suppliers; identify improvement opportunities and own the resulting Service Improvement Plans (SIPs). Provide trend analysis on incidents, requests, changes, and platform usage to inform investment and staffing decisions.
Vendor and Stakeholder Management: manage day-to-day relationships with third-party IT service providers and managed service partners; hold them accountable to contracted SLAs and quality expectations. Partner with Infrastructure, Application, Security, and divisional IT teams to deliver a coordinated service experience to the business. Represent the service-management function in IT governance forums and provide thought leadership on ITSM strategy and roadmap.
