* Ensure service designs are scalable, practical, and aligned to operational realities
* Support the transition of new or updated services into business‑as‑usual delivery
Who we're looking for:
You're a service design or service transformation professional who can translate strategy into delivery in complex operational environments. You bring strong stakeholder influence, technical understanding, and a structured approach to change.
You'll bring:
* Strong understanding of ITIL v4 frameworks and service management principles
* Experience in telecoms
