 Performance Monitoring & Incident Response:

  - Define KPIs in ServiceNow CMDB and monitor solution performance using Splunk/ELK Stack, with incident response coordinated via Jira Service Management.

  - Document post-incident reviews in Confluence to prevent recurrence.

 Documentation & Standardization:

 Continuous Improvement & Innovation:

  - Track emerging technologies (e.g., AI-driven compliance tools) using ServiceNow Innovation Management and document insights in Confluence.

  - Monitor industry benchmarks via Gartner/Forrester reports (linked in Confluence) to propose optimizations.

 Audit & Reporting Support:

  - Support audits by providing ServiceNow-generated compliance reports and Confluence-documented evidence of adherence to regulations.

  - Prepare dashboards in ServiceNow Analytics to demonstrate solution performance and regulatory compliance.

Your profile:

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.

Experience:

- Understanding of data residency requirements and cross-border data transfer mechanisms.

- Familiarity with defence-specific standards (e.g., DoD 8570, NIST SP 800-53).

Soft Skills:

- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills for addressing complex technical/regulatory challenges.
