Role: Service Management Centre (SMC) Analyst About the Role Our Service Management Centre (SMC) is evolving from a traditional monitoring-focused operations model into a modern operational command centre responsible for driving service stability, leading major incident response, facilitating Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and improving the reliability and resilience of business-critical services. We are looking for motivated, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals who are passionate about operational excellence, service management, and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of the SMC rather than simply operate within an existing model. You will work at the centre of our technology operations, collaborating with engineering teams, cloud providers, service owners, and business stakeholders to drive service restoration, investigate root causes, improve operational processes, and help modernise how IT services are managed. If you enjoy solving complex problems, influencing outcomes, challenging the status quo, and being part of meaningful change, we would love to hear from you. Lead Operational Response:
Act as a central coordination point during production incidents and service disruptions.
Coordinate technical teams during major incidents and drive restoration activities through resolution.
Assess business impact and ensure appropriate escalation of critical issues.
Lead incident communications with technical and business stakeholders.
Facilitate bridge calls and maintain clear situational awareness throughout the incident lifecycle.
Influence technical teams and drive outcomes during high-pressure situations.
Drive Service Stability
Monitor the health and performance of business-critical services.
Analyse events and alerts to identify service-impacting issues.
Coordinate proactive actions to prevent incidents and minimise business disruption.
Support production operations across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments.
Deliver ITIL-Aligned Service Management
Support Incident, Event, Change, Problem, and Major Incident Management processes.
Ensure high-quality documentation and accurate records within ServiceNow.
Promote operational discipline while identifying opportunities for process improvement.
Lead Problem Management & Root Cause Analysis
Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) activities following major incidents and recurring service disruptions.
Facilitate post-incident reviews and work with technical teams to identify underlying causes rather than symptoms.
Coordinate corrective and preventive actions to reduce recurring incidents and improve service reliability.
Identify recurring trends, risks, and opportunities for continual service improvement.
Drive accountability for long-term fixes rather than focusing solely on short-term recovery.
Shape the Future
Challenge inefficient processes and identify opportunities for improvement.
Contribute to automation initiatives that reduce manual effort and operational toil.
Help define the future operating model of the Service Management Centre.
Participate in continuous service improvement activities and operational maturity initiatives.
Share knowledge and contribute to a culture of learning and innovation.
Technical Experience Experience in some or all of the following areas is desirable:
ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms
Major Incident Management
Problem Management and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Facilitating post-incident reviews and driving corrective actions
Event Management and monitoring tools
ITIL-based service management practices
Cloud platforms and hybrid environments
Windows and Linux systems
Networking fundamentals
Operational support of business-critical services
Ideal Candidate This is not a traditional NOC role. We are not looking for someone who simply monitors alerts or manages tickets. The ideal candidate is curious, ambitious, energetic, and excited by change. They enjoy improving how things work, are comfortable challenging existing processes, and thrive in fast-paced operational environments where they can make a meaningful impact. Candidates with backgrounds in Major Incident Management, Production Support, Service Operations, Problem Management, Enterprise Command Centres, IT Service Management, or other business-critical 24x7 operational environments will be particularly well suited for this role. This role is unlikely to be suitable for candidates whose experience is primarily focused on Service Desk, Desktop Support, Security Operations, or monitoring-only activities. Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Years of Experience: Not specified.
“All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.”
