IT Service Transition Manager (Planning, Assurance, Go-Live) for NATO with security clearance

Plenty of teams can build a service. Far fewer can land one safely. A multinational defence organisation near Brussels is bringing new IT capability into live use and needs someone to make sure each service arrives on time, supportable and without surprises. What you would be doing Helping shape the service transition strategy, plans and policies Guiding programmes and projects on transition planning and support Checking that transition work is in project proposals, not just assumed Keeping transition activities on schedule when delivery pressure builds Building templates and methods for planning and evaluating transitions Supporting project boards and reviews with plans, tracking and reports Spotting capability improvements and running maturity assessments Deputising for senior management when needed What you would bring A Bachelor's degree and 2 years of relevant experience, or 6 years of progressive experience instead At least 2 years in service management in a medium or large organisation Solid service transition experience, ideally across more than one industry Experience advising on service management and service improvement techniques The ability to assess risk and turn it into corrective and improvement plans Clear writing and briefing, including reporting to senior stakeholders ITIL and PRINCE2 (or an equivalent project management certificate) Why this one is worth a look You are the person who decides when a service is truly ready, in a large international IT organisation.
