Your role
As an ITIL process manager you will:
- manage and improve one or more ITIL-based processes, including monitoring process performance via agreed key performance indicators (KPI), and report on a regular basis to the respective process owners;
- closely interact with the ECB’s external IT service providers to secure delivery in line with the agreed targets, to ensure interfaces are working smoothly and to collect and assess their requirements in relation to ECB processes and service management tools;
- provide advice and training to the relevant stakeholders responsible for projects, programmes, infrastructure and application portfolios on how to meet the requirements set out from a process viewpoint;
- represent your process(es) in internal and external audits;
- closely collaborate with other process managers to ensure smooth process interfaces and consistency across different processes;
- present the results of your work and matters within your area of responsibility and discuss them with your peers, at various management levels within the ECB and with external IT service providers.
The position offers you excellent opportunities to contribute to the delivery of stable IT services in a process-oriented environment and to interact with a broad range of IT colleagues from various areas. You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.
