For more information, visit WPP.com. Why we're hiring: WPP is undertaking a major transformation of its enterprise Service Management capability, replacing its existing ServiceNow platform with a modern, AI-enabled service management platform that will establish a simpler, more standardised, and scalable global operating model. The current environment has evolved over many years and now requires a structured re-platforming programme to remove legacy complexity, reduce fragmentation, improve governance, and align more closely with industry best practice. This role will own the platform that underpins service management across Technology Operations and the wider Enterprise Technology team along with Finance, HR, and other corporate functions, making it a strategically important platform. Working with senior stakeholders and strategic implementation partners, you will define and deliver the future service management capability, ensuring the platform, operating model, governance, and service management processes support a modern, scalable, AI-enabled enterprise. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in Enterprise Service Management and ITIL, with the judgement to apply industry best practice pragmatically rather than dogmatically.

What you'll be doing: • Lead the end-to-end transformation of WPP’s Service Management Platform across strategy, design, delivery, migration, rollout and adoption. • Define and execute a comprehensive transformation plan aligned to WPP’s Technology Operations strategy, including a clean rebuild approach that prioritises standard platform capabilities and reduces customisation. • Remove legacy complexity, duplication, fragmented processes and technical debt while establishing a single, coherent global operating model for service management. • Design and deliver an AI-enabled service model incorporating virtual agents, conversational interfaces, automation-first workflows, self-service, intelligent routing and future agentic automation capabilities. • Define and implement a new governance model, including global standards, controls, design principles, ownership structures, decision forums and design authority mechanisms. • Lead delivery in partnership with Kyndryl as the operational delivery partner and the Service Management Platform vendor as the platform expertise and best-practice partner. • Coordinate internal Enterprise Technology teams, delivery partners, platform specialists and senior stakeholders, creating clear accountability across all workstreams and delivery teams. • Oversee redesign, rebuild, migration, testing, rollout, transition and adoption, managing risks, dependencies, issues and decisions through strong programme
