Description

6–8 Month Contract | Adelaide

KeyInvest is seeking a Service Desk & Service Management Lead to design and implement a single, enterprise-wide service desk model using JIRA Service Management as the system of record.

This is a hands-on transformation role, responsible for building a scalable, controlled and user-friendly service experience across the organisation.

About the Role

Reporting to the Chief of Staff and Chief Information Officer, you will lead the end-to-end design and implementation of service management capability, including service journeys, support models and service catalogue design.

You will ensure the model is practical, embedded and audit-ready, aligned to regulatory expectations including CPS 230 and CPS 234.

This is not a theoretical design role — you will build, implement and embed the solution.

  • Design request types, workflows, queues, SLAs and automation
  • Apply “one-time data entry, multiple use” principles

End-to-End Service & Process Design

  • Translate policy, uplift artefacts and requirements into operational workflows
  • Improve efficiency by reducing friction and cognitive load

L1 / L2 / L3 Support Model

  • Define and map support structures across all applications and services
  • Establish clear escalation paths and ownership across internal teams and vendors

Service Catalogue & Prioritisation

  • Develop and maintain a prioritised service catalogue
  • Sequence rollout based on risk, value and business priorities
  • Align with broader shared services uplift initiatives

Implementation & Embedment

  • Roll out services in controlled, phased waves
  • Support change, training and adoption across the organisation
  • Ensure the model is sustainable and owned by BAU teams post-delivery

What You Bring

You are a hands-on service management leader with a track record of delivering enterprise service desk or shared services implementations.

You will demonstrate:

  • Strong experience with JIRA Service Management (configuration and rollout)
  • Proven delivery of service desk / ITSM implementations
  • Expertise in end-to-end service design and process mapping
  • Ability to translate policy, risk and regulatory requirements into workflows
  • Strong stakeholder engagement across business, technology and vendors
  • Ability to deliver in fast-paced, time-boxed environments

Highly Regarded

  • Practical experience with ITIL (ITIL-lite approach)
  • Experience designing shared services or enterprise service desks
  • Exposure to financial services or regulated environments
  • Understanding of audit, controls and evidence-based delivery

Tools & Environment

  • JIRA Service Management
  • Confluence / SharePoint

  • Microsoft 365 / Teams

Why Join KeyInvest
