The role
We're looking for a hands-on ServiceNow Administrator with strong technical skills and a practical approach to supporting, developing and improving our enterprise platform.
At The University of Manchester, ServiceNow - known internally as Connect - supports essential services across IT, HR, Security and other areas of the University. With ITSM, HRSD, Security Incident Response and self-service capabilities already in place, we're focused on transforming and maturing the platform, improving existing services and expanding its reach across the University.
This is a varied technical role, combining platform administration and troubleshooting with developing new functionality, automation and integrations. Working alongside experienced colleagues in a supportive team, you'll tackle interesting technical challenges, contribute to designing reliable, maintainable solutions and help shape the platform's future.
You'll also have opportunities to broaden your ServiceNow expertise while delivering improvements that make a real difference to staff and students.
You'll be joining a supportive, collaborative team with opportunities to expand your ServiceNow knowledge, work across different areas of the platform and contribute directly to improving services across the University.
We're looking for someone who enjoys getting stuck into technical challenges, takes pride in delivering quality work and wants to help us make Connect better for everyone who uses it.
What you'll do
Administer, maintain and support ServiceNow, investigating and resolving incidents, issues and support requests.
Configure, develop and enhance ServiceNow functionality, including workflows, forms, catalogues, portals and automation.
Develop and maintain scripts, integrations and solutions using ServiceNow development tools, APIs and web services.
Test, troubleshoot and document changes, following agreed development standards and best practices.
Support platform maintenance activities, upgrades, testing and ongoing improvements.
Work with colleagues and stakeholders to understand requirements, design appropriate solutions and deliver improvements that are practical, effective and maintainable.
Contribute to knowledge sharing, technical documentation and continuous improvement across the team.
Key Responsibilities
What We're Looking For
We're particularly interested in people with strong practical technical skills, good problem-solving abilities and a willingness to keep learning as the platform evolves.
