IT Configuration Manager

Team IT

Location Holborn Office

County Central London

Ref # 16291

Closing Date 10-Jun-2022

Are you experienced in IT configuration management? Do you have experience of CMDB management? Can you nurture colleagues to help them grow? If yes, then we may have the role for you! 

As the IT Configuration Manager, you will be responsible for developing and providing IT configuration management to the IT Organisation and for the configuration and hardware asset management processes, governance and reporting. You will also take responsibility for building the CMDB to centralise our IT data source to aid in IT day to day activities. 

Depending on the team, most of our roles offer flexible working.

So what would you be doing?...

• Investigating and identifying the various inventories used across Metro Bank for integration with Configuration Management
• Using our ITSM tool (ServiceNow), establish the Discovery layers to capture to build our CMDB
• Developing the relationship models to ensure that Configuration Items are correctly mapped to aid in Incident and Change impact activities
• Establishing the Configuration Management and hardware asset management processes, working with the wider Service Management and Service Operation teams to ensure that the correct integration and touch points are known and captured
• Developing reporting to demonstrate Infrastructure controls reflected by the CMDB and Discovery Agents
• Working with our IT teams to establish API data feeds to establish the CMDB as the Golden Source
• Ensuring that data loading of Configuration Items outside of discovery is completed 
• Working with Service transition to capture new Service Models/Structures and how these will be structured within the CMDB
• Establishing Configuration Item lifecycles, especially around retired hardware
• Developing automation in the creation and daily maintenance of the CMDB, using considerations from trigger processes such as Change Management

You need to be this kind of person…

• Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
• Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
• Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
• Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...

• Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
• Working knowledge of a CMDB, the structure, terminology and surrounding processes to support configuration management
• You must have knowledge of ServiceNow discovery, best practice, relationships and how CIs map across the CMDB
• Ideally, you will have experience in relationship mapping of infrastructure
• You must have experience in proactive Configuration Management
• Ideally, you will have and ITIL Accreditation 

Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.  We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.  So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
