Why This Role Is Important to Us

As Group IT continues strengthening its IT Service operating model, we are establishing dedicated ITIL Practice Ownership across the Group IT organization.

The Service Manager is responsible for owning and maturing assigned ITIL practices (Incident, Request, Change, Problem, Knowledge, Service Level) across Group IT. This role ensures standards are clearly defined, measurable, consistently applied, and continuously improved across all IT domains.

This is a governance and capability role with enterprise scope, supporting the Director of IT Service in building a predictable, structured, and scalable service model across Group IT.

What You Will Be Responsible For

ITIL Practice Ownership

• Own and continuously improve assigned ITIL practices across Group IT.

• Define process standards, decision frameworks, and role accountabilities (RACI).

• Establish clear prioritization, escalation, and governance models.

• Own the full improvement cycle: identify gaps, define the fix, and drive adoption - across Service Desk, IT Operations, Enterprise Applications, Security, and Data & Project.

Incident & Request Governance

• Own the classification, prioritization, and escalation frameworks across domains.

• Ensure SLA/OLA models are clearly defined and operationally enforced.

• Eliminate ambiguity in cross-domain ticket ownership and routing.

• Drive consistent adoption of Incident and Request standards across all IT teams.

Change Governance

• Own and drive a unified Change Management framework across Group IT.

• Strengthen change risk assessment, approval discipline, and post-implementation review practices.

• Ensure change governance is applied consistently across all IT domains.

Problem Governance

• Establish Problem Management as a formal practice within Group IT.

• Define the framework for problem identification, root cause analysis, and known error management.

• Drive structured Problem reviews to reduce recurring incidents and systemic risk.

• Ensure linkage between Incident trends and Problem records.

Knowledge Governance

• Mature the existing Knowledge Management practice beyond its current baseline.

• Define quality and lifecycle standards for knowledge assets.

• Ensure linkage between incidents, problems, and knowledge creation.

• Improve measurable knowledge adoption and self-service effectiveness.

Service Level Governance

• Define and govern SLA/OLA frameworks across services and domains.

• Own the measurement logic, reporting standards, and review cadence for service performance.

• Lead structured service reviews with IT domain leads - surface risks, gaps, and trends.

• Ensure service level commitments are realistic, measurable, and consistently reported.

ITSM Platform Alignment

• Translate process standards into structured ITSM configuration requirements.

• Partner with operational managers to ensure workflows reflect defined standards.

• Validate that tool configurations match governance intent before rollout

What We Value

• Experience implementing or working within ITIL practices (Incident, Request, Change, Problem, Knowledge) in multi-team environments, and readiness to own and govern them.

• Demonstrated ability to define standards, frameworks, and role accountabilities, and drive consistent adoption across teams.

• Strong analytical capability and experience working with service data to define, validate, and improve reporting integrity.

• Experience working directly with IT domain leads to align on standards and hold teams accountable.

• Experience with ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow and/or Jira Service Management (preferred), including workflow alignment and reporting.

• A structured, results-focused mindset: you see a gap, you define the fix, you drive it to completion.

• Amenable to work in a hybrid setup (2 days/week) covering APAC and EMEA timezones.

BENEFITS:

An attractive salary, bonus scheme, and a pension are essential for any work agreement. However, in SimCorp, we believe we can offer more. Therefore, in addition to the traditional benefit scheme, we provide a good work-life balance: flexible working hours and a hybrid workplace model. Simcorp follows a global hybrid policy, asking employees to work from the office two days each week while allowing remote work on other days.
