Your New Role and Responsibilities

Our ServiceNow central operations team provides a range of ServiceNow capabilities to our internal and external ServiceNow customers. We are looking for a Team Lead to oversee technical resources delivering services across various parts of the ServiceNow platform including ITSM, ITBM and ITOM.

As the Team Lead, you'll be responsible for working with our Defence customer, helping to create solutions oversight, direction and management platform integration and other O&M tasks, with varying degrees of complexity.

More specifically, it will include the following:

  • Lead ServiceNow sustainment, ensuring cyber security compliance, optimal performance, and value from investment while driving automation and process improvement.
  • Manage licensing, cost optimisation, forecasting, budget management, and integrations to improve the platform's reliability and availability.
  • Oversee a team of 5-10 ServiceNow technical resources, guiding development, fostering quality, and supporting low-code/no-code platform maturity.
  • Coordinate tasks, manage workloads, and deliver on Service Levels and timelines, ensuring high-quality documentation and compliance across processes.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, support teams, and customers to deliver projects, provide technical expertise, and continually improve platform capabilities.

What You'll Bring to Make An Impact

This position will embrace both product leaders and technical skills. This role is suited for a skilled and hard-working individual who possesses strong leadership and interpersonal skills, and who is passionate about delivering end-to-end customer-driven solutions. The successful candidates will have to tackle complex problems requiring a creative mindset to find innovative and elegant solutions. They will also have to manage vendor relations, staffing, software selection, and overall coordination with the other IT/ITSM groups across our businesses.

You demonstrate attention to detail in your approach to solving problems and deliver work products. You take accountability for outcomes and those of your team. You work well in an environment where you and your team have a proactive and agile way of operating. As a self-directed individual you don't tend to wait for management direction to implement improvements or best practice. You take a collaborative approach, while also having strong judgement decision making and technical leadership.

Finally, you pride yourself on excellence, everything you build and touch should be secure, consistent, repeatable, and scalable.

  • Bachelor's degree in computer information systems or a related field, with experience in ServiceNow administration or IT support platforms like Remedy and ITSM.
  • Strong technical, problem-solving, and process-oriented skills, with experience in scoping business requirements, automation, and orchestration implementation.
  • Passion for metrics, reporting, analytics, and automation, along with experience in enterprise-class infrastructure and systems.
  • Strong planning, project management, and attention to detail, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Excellent communication skills, with experience working with Legal and HR stakeholders, and a goal-oriented approach to meeting deadlines.

Don't worry if you don't tick all the boxes - if you meet most of them, we encourage you to submit your application. We're most interested in your strengths, what you want to learn and how far you want to go.

This role does require the successful applicant to be an Australian Citizen and hold a minimum NV1 Clearance (NV2 preferred).
