Full job description

About The Role

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking an experienced Service Transition Manager to support a Systems Integrator/ Consultancy client delivering large-scale programmes for a Public Sector end client. This role sits across complex portfolios and is critical in ensuring the safe, controlled transition of new and changed services into live operation. This is initially a 6 month contract with very good prospects to extend and will be a hybrid role based in Telford.

The successful candidate will take ownership of end-to-end service transition, including operational readiness, release-to-live and cutover planning, and early life support. You will work across multiple delivery teams and suppliers, ensuring services are fully prepared for BAU and meet all operational, governance, and quality standards prior to go-live.

This role is suited to experienced professionals who are confident operating in complex, multi-supplier environments and who can drive structured transition approaches while managing risk, stakeholders, and operational outcomes.

Responsibilities:

Owning and delivering end-to-end service transition plans across multiple workstreams, including readiness checkpoints and release-to-live / cutover strategies
Defining, agreeing, and tracking Go Live criteria (minimum and desirable), including Operational Acceptance and Service Readiness Assessments
Ensuring all services meet non-functional requirements (NFRs), service maturity expectations, and operational standards prior to go-live
Designing and assuring sustainable BAU support models (including RACI, escalation paths, incident/problem/change processes, monitoring, MI, and reporting)
Coordinating change management, release planning, and stakeholder communications, including CAB engagement and governance processes
Managing risks, issues, dependencies, and contingency plans, with a proactive focus on mitigating operational risk during transition and release phases
Leading or supporting incident and major incident management during key releases and early life support (hypercare)
Producing and presenting reporting and dashboards on transition readiness, live service performance, and overall progress to senior stakeholders
Collaborating with service owners, delivery teams, operations, and third parties to ensure clear ownership and accountability of services post-transition
Assuring testing readiness and confirming release quality, including sign-off of end-to-end testing strategies and defect thresholds

About You

Proven experience in Service Transition / Service Management, aligned to ITIL (v3 or v4) and strong operational governance practices
Demonstrated experience delivering transitions across complex programmes, portfolios, and multi-supplier environments
Strong end-to-end operational readiness capability, including OAT, readiness packs, NFR validation, support model design, and early life support planning
Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage and influence both technical and non-technical senior stakeholders
Strong planning and coordination capability across multiple workstreams, including release, change, testing, and operations
Solid experience managing risks, issues, and dependencies using structured and evidence-based approaches
Experience producing high-quality governance and reporting artefacts (e.g. RAID logs, dashboards, readiness assessments, and sign-off documentation)
Excellent communication, organisation, and delivery-focused mindset

Nice to Have

Experience supporting or leading major incident management during releases or hypercare phases
Background working within a Systems Integrator, consultancy, or large-scale outsourced environment
Exposure to public sector or regulated environments
ITIL certification or equivalent service management qualifications
