Role Overview:

We are looking for an ambitious Service Management Consultant (3-5 years' experience) ready to move beyond traditional ITIL and help clients redesign how technology services are delivered and managed. In this 360° consulting role, you will work across strategy, advisory, solution design and delivery, transforming IT operations while developing propositions in areas such as AI value management, intelligent operations and next-generation service management. This is a unique opportunity to challenge the status quo, work with senior stakeholders on meaningful transformations, and define what Service Management should look like over the next decade.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and contribute to end-to-end consulting engagements, from initial client discussions and opportunity shaping through to solution design, implementation and value realisation.
• Help clients transform IT Service Management and IT Operations, moving from traditional, process-driven ITIL implementations to modern, value-focused and data-driven service models.
• Design and improve IT operating models, service management processes and governance (e.g. Incident, Problem, Change, Service Level and Continual Improvement Management).
• Explore and define how AI, AIOps and intelligent automation can enhance IT operations, service reliability and user experience, turning ideas into practical solutions.
• Support AI value management activities, helping clients build business cases, define success measures and track the realised value of AI-enabled initiatives.
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder sessions, translating complex technical and operational concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for business and technology audiences.
• Collaborate with experienced consultants to develop new propositions, accelerators and best practices in next-generation Service Management and AI-enabled operations.
• Work with leading ITSM platforms (e.g. ServiceNow, BMC Helix, Jira Service Management) to support the design and delivery of modern service management solutions.

About the Candidate:

• 3-5 years of experience in IT Service Management, IT Operations or a related consulting environment, ideally within an ITIL-led organisation.
• Strong grounding in core Service Management disciplines (e.g. Incident, Problem, Change, Service Level, Continual Improvement) with an ITIL qualification and proven real-world application.
• Curious, proactive and comfortable challenging conventional thinking, with a strong interest in the future of Service Management, AI, automation and emerging technologies.
• Able to communicate confidently with both technical and business stakeholders, translating complex concepts into clear, business-focused language.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience supporting business cases, benefits realisation or technology value management.
• Exposure to ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, BMC Helix or Jira Service Management and to Service Management transformation or operating model design.
• Experience in or familiarity with AI, AIOps, intelligent automation or AI-enabled service management considered a strong plus.
• Experience working in Financial Services or another highly regulated industry is advantageous.
