Collaboration with different teams and continuous refinement of software elements are integral parts of the daily workflow, fostering innovation and responsiveness to evolving project demands.
- We are looking for a Senior ServiceNow SME to join our Engineering Platforms team, supporting the evolution of our Standard Application Release (SAR) and change governance capabilities. You will be a subject matter expert in ServiceNow's DevOps Change Velocity Module, working at the intersection of change management, pipeline automation, and compliance.
This role is central to our Route to Live programme — helping us automate ServiceNow change record creation, integrate with GitLab pipelines, and ensure our change governance controls are robust, auditable, and fast.

Roles & Responsibilities:
- Own the design, configuration, and continuous improvement of the ServiceNow DevOps Change Velocity Module, including automated change record creation triggered from GitLab pipelines
- Lead the GitLab–ServiceNow integration, ensuring pipeline evidence (test results, vulnerability scans, MR metadata) is automatically attached to change records
- Define and maintain change governance guardrails within ServiceNow, including automated approval workflows, evidence capture, and audit trail generation
- Collaborate with the Route to Live and RTL Compliance teams to extend SAR to new change types (e.g., Maintenance is greater than Security Patching)
- Advise on change categorization, risk assessment, and approval workflows in alignment with internal change management policy
- Support onboarding of application teams onto SAR, providing guidance on ServiceNow record structure and pipeline integration patterns
- Contribute to the design of scope enforcement and automated guardrails that prevent misuse of change pathways

Professional & Technical Skills:
- Must To Have Skills: Proficiency in ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM).
- Experience with scripting and automation within the ServiceNow platform to customize workflows and enhance functionality.
- Strong understanding of IT service management processes and best practices.
- Ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues related to ServiceNow applications.
- Familiarity with integration techniques and APIs to connect ServiceNow with other enterprise systems.
- ServiceNow Certified Application Developer accreditation (mandatory)
- Deep hands-on experience with the ServiceNow DevOps Change Velocity Module
- Proven experience integrating ServiceNow with GitLab, including pipeline triggers, webhook configuration, and evidence attachment
- Strong understanding of GitLab pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and source code management practices
- Solid knowledge of change governance frameworks — change categorization (Cat 1/2/3), approval workflows, Independent Checker requirements, and audit evidence standards
- Experience designing and implementing automated change record creation from pipeline events
- Familiarity with ITSM concepts: change advisory boards, risk assessment, conflict/HAP checking, and maintenance change types

Desirable Skills:
- Experience with vulnerability management tooling (SAST, dependency scanning, container scanning) and integrating scan results into change evidence
- Understanding of RIAM or equivalent risk classification frameworks
- Experience in regulated financial services or similarly governed environments

Additional Information:
- The candidate should have minimum 5 years of experience in ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM).
