• Support Service Level Management by maintaining configuration data underlying SLA-scoped service reporting ensuring CI scope accurately reflects contracted service boundaries
• Participate in post-incident and post-change reviews where CMDB accuracy or coverage contributed to incident impact or recovery time
• Collaborate with Technical Delivery Engineers and ITSM Administrators on infrastructure onboarding ensuring new environments services and CIs are modeled and registered in the CMDB before go-live.
• Support Continuous Service Improvement to CMDB or other related IT service Management Modules

Documentation and knowledge transfer
