Configuration Management (ITIL v4 Practice Alignment)

• Design, implement, and mature the Configuration Management Practice in alignment with ITIL v4, ensuring configuration information is accurate, reliable, and fit for purpose.
• Define and maintain Configuration Items (CIs) across enterprise network, infrastructure, platform, and application components.
• Establish relationships and dependencies between CIs to support impact analysis, risk assessment, and service reliability.
• Lead the creation, validation, and lifecycle management of configuration data, including baselines and version control.
• Ensure configuration information supports value creation, risk reduction, and improved service outcomes.

Tooling & Automation

• Select, implement, and integrate configuration management and discovery tools (e.g., CMDB, automated discovery, infrastructure-as-code repositories).
• Automate configuration data collection, reconciliation, and validation to reduce manual effort and improve data quality.
• Integrate configuration tooling with monitoring, incident management, change enablement, and asset management systems.
• Support infrastructure-as-code and declarative configuration approaches where applicable.

Site Reliability & Service Management Integration

• Partner with SRE, network, and platform teams to ensure configuration data supports reliability engineering, availability targets, and operational resilience.
• Enable incident resolution and problem analysis by providing accurate configuration and dependency data.
• Support Change Enablement by ensuring configuration impacts and risks are understood before changes are deployed.
• Contribute to service continuity and disaster recovery planning through accurate configuration baselines.

Process Design & Continuous Improvement

• Develop policies, procedures, and work instructions aligned with ITIL v4 guiding principles (e.g., focus on value, progress iteratively, collaborate and promote visibility ).
• Establish metrics and KPIs to measure configuration accuracy, coverage, and effectiveness.
• Identify opportunities for continual improvement across configuration, reliability, and operational practices.
• Educate stakeholders on configuration management concepts, responsibilities, and value.

Collaboration & Governance

• Act as a liaison between engineering, operations, security, architecture, and service management teams.
• Support audits, compliance efforts, and governance reviews by providing authoritative configuration information.
• Ensure configuration practices align with organizational risk, security, and compliance requirements.

Required Qualifications

• 3-6 years of experience in site reliability engineering, systems engineering, network operations, or configuration management roles.
• Hands-on experience designing or operating configuration management processes or CMDB solutions in an enterprise environment.
• Working knowledge of ITIL v4, particularly Configuration Management, Change Enablement, Incident Management, and Continual Improvement.
• Experience with enterprise network and infrastructure environments (on-prem, cloud, or hybrid).
• Familiarity with automation, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code concepts (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Git-based workflows).
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to model dependencies and assess service impact.
