£65,000 - £75,000 + Benefits

A IT Change Manager is required for a specialist global insurer undergoing major IT & operational transformation. You will run & evolve a high-volume, global change process that underpins all technology delivery.

The opportunity
You'll manage around 150 changes per week across infrastructure, cloud, & applications, leading global CAB meetings & working closely with your US counterpart to keep services stable while driving modernisation.
This is not just a static governance post, you'll refine how Change engages with engineers, developers, & business users, making the process more transparent, automated, & user-friendly.

What you'll do

  • Own the Change Management process end-to-end: risk assessment, approvals, CAB, & post-implementation review
  • Lead & facilitate global CAB meetings, bringing structure & engagement to diverse stakeholders
  • Partner with delivery & service teams to improve how users experience Change
  • Maintain compliance with audit & regulatory standards while introducing practical agility
  • Work with the CMDB & ServiceNow to enhance automation & reporting
  • Collaborate globally to align processes & share best practice

What we're looking for

  • Experience in IT Change Management / ITSM, ideally within financial or regulated enterprise environments
  • Proven experience chairing CABs & handling large change volumes
  • Hands-on knowledge of ServiceNow Change Management & CMDB integration
  • Strong understanding of risk & audit within complex IT estates
  • Engaging communicator with energy, passion, & a balanced governance approach
  • Comfortable improving processes, not just following them

Why this stands out
Join an organisation investing in modern, agile, customer-centric operations. You'll have the autonomy to influence how global IT Change evolves, combining structure with innovation in a high-impact governance role.
