OUR OPPORTUNITY

The IT Change Manager is accountable for governing and facilitating the Change Management process across the organization, ensuring that all IT changes — from standard to emergency — are assessed, authorized, implemented, and reviewed in a controlled and risk-managed manner.

This role protects the stability of IT services by preventing unauthorized or poorly planned changes from negatively impacting business operations. The IT Change Manager acts as a strategic advisor and process owner, working closely with technical teams, business units, and senior leadership to balance agility with governance.

» Maintain the Change Schedule (Forward Schedule of Change — FSC) and coordinate change windows with operational teams.

» Assess the risk and business impact of proposed changes, ensuring appropriate mitigation strategies and rollback plans are in place.

» Identify conflicts, dependencies, and potential clashes between concurrent changes across infrastructure, applications, and services.

» Ensure changes align with organizational risk appetite and regulatory obligations.

» Define, maintain, and continuously improve Change Management policies, processes, procedures, and templates.

» Ensure all change activities are properly documented, auditable, and compliant with governance and regulatory requirements.

» Identify and remediate unauthorized changes (change without authorization — CWA) and enforce process adherence.

» Collaborate with Incident and Problem Management to identify change-related incidents and prevent recurrence.

» Administer and optimize the Change Management module within the ITSM platform (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira SM, BMC Remedy).
