The Role
As a ServiceNow Lead Support Engineer, you will take ownership of technical delivery and support for shared services clients within our Managed Services portfolio. You will lead platform troubleshooting, manage high impact incidents, oversee upgrades and patches, and drive stability, performance and service improvements across client environments. Beyond reactive support, you will champion continuous service improvement, identifying opportunities to mature client platforms, reduce recurring issues, and accelerate value realisation. This role calls for someone who sets a high bar for themselves and others, brings clarity to complexity, and earns trust through delivery. An A-Player mindset is essential: you don’t just keep services running, you push them forward with intent, evidence, and measurable progress.
You will support, coach and provide technical guidance to more junior members of the Managed Services engineering team when needed, acting as a mentor, escalation support partner, and a quality checkpoint for shared knowledge, troubleshooting methods and capability growth. You will work closely with the Managed Services Manager to help define, strengthen and mature shared service offerings, contribute technical input into service improvements, and provide occasional support to pre-sales activity, solution shaping and internal capability discussions.
You will collaborate closely with leading Technical Consultants from Professional Services, who will provide architectural guidance, quality assurance support, and platform best practice alignment where needed. You may lead client technical delivery independently at times, with structured support available from the wider team.
