Working with project teams, platform teams, service operations, managed service partners and change/release colleagues, you’ll help make sure new and changed services are understood, documented and ready to support from day one. Your work will help reduce operational risk, improve colleague experience and build consistent service design and transition practices across M Group.
Want to come and be a part of it?
What will you be doing?
Support the design, readiness and transition of new and changed technology services into live operation, helping to ensure services are supportable, resilient and ready for a successful go-live. You'll work across projects, service teams and delivery partners to embed Service Design and Transition activities throughout the change lifecycle.
Work closely with project managers, service owners, platform teams and managed service partners to gather service requirements, maintain readiness plans and coordinate service acceptance activities. You'll help ensure operational requirements are considered early and readiness is clearly understood before deployment.
Play a key role in coordinating transition activities, including knowledge transfer, support handovers, training completion and operational acceptance evidence. You'll help drive smooth transitions into BAU support while ensuring risks, dependencies and actions are tracked and managed effectively.
Build strong relationships with stakeholders across technology and the business, providing clear updates on service readiness, operational risks and next steps. You'll help translate technical information into practical operational requirements and challenge gaps constructively where support needs have not been fully addressed.
Contribute to the development of consistent Service Design and Transition practices across M Group by maintaining accurate documentation, applying governance standards, capturing lessons learned and identifying opportunities to improve service quality, operational effectiveness and the overall transition experience.
