This is a technical implementation role: you will work directly with the business and either Halo or the System Integrator to configure, build and integrate the platform - translating requirements into working solutions. The focus is entirely on the tool. We need someone who lives and breathes Halo - not a process consultant, not an incident manager, but a platform builder. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES * Act as the primary technical SME for the Halo platform throughout the implementation. * Configure and build out the Halo environment: incident, problem, change, and configuration management modules. * Translate business requirements directly into platform actions - own that end-to-end. * Manage and deliver platform integrations with third-party systems. * Work closely with Halo or the appointed System Integrator to drive delivery. * Provide hands-on platform expertise to support testing, go-live and post-go-live stabilisation. * Support architecture decisions where relevant - but always anchored to what the platform needs to do. ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS * Hands-on, proven experience implementing the Halo ITSM platform. * Fully-fledged ITSM specialist - incident, problem, change, CMDB and platform configuration. * Ability to take requirements and build them - no interpretation layer needed. * Experience working with or alongside a System Integrator on a platform implementation. * Strong understanding of platform integrations and how to make them work in practice. * Background in ServiceNow migration or cross-platform ITSM experience is a strong advantage. DESIRABLE * Halo certification or formal Halo training. * Architecture awareness - able to contribute to technical design discussions. * Experience in a large enterprise environment with complex ITSM requirements. WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT This is not a process design or ITIL consulting role, and it is not an incident management position. We need a platform specialist who gets into the tool, configures it, integrates it and makes it do what the business needs. DO NOT APPLY if you don't have HALO Experience
