Ferguson, a Fortune 500 company, is proud to provide best-in-class products, service and capabilities across the following industries: Commercial/Mechanical, Facilities Supply, Fire and Fabrication, HVAC, Industrial, Residential Trade, Residential Building and Remodel, Waterworks and Residential Digital Commerce.

The ITSM Systems Manager serves as the Application Owner for service management technologies, defining and executing a multiyear roadmap that delivers business aligned, scalable capabilities through iterative development. The role also oversees the development and sustainment of the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence) and related applications used broadly across the organization. This leader partners closely with architecture, infrastructure, operations, and business stakeholders to ensure service management platforms are well designed, appropriately governed, and continuously improved.

Location: This position is approved for remote or hybrid work in accordance with company policy.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the design, development, enhancement, and lifecycle management of ITSM and service management applications, including ITSM, ITAM, CMDB, Event Management, and workflow automation
• Serve as Application Owner, defining and executing a multiyear platform roadmap aligned to business strategy, scalability, and ITIL guidelines
• Lead a team of application administrators, developers, and solution engineers responsible for building, enhancing, and supporting service management platforms
• Establish and maintain platform governance, development standards, and lifecycle processes including demand intake, backlog management, release management, and postdelivery measurement
• Partner with IT and business collaborators to define product requirements, prioritize demand, and guide adoption and enablement
• Facilitate business customer forums to balance platform investment, delivery capacity, and operational needs
• Define and track KPIs related to platform performance, adoption, reliability, and value realization
• Lead Service Management Technology initiatives and platform modernization efforts across IT and the enterprise
• Oversee vendor relationships for service management platforms, including product roadmaps, support services, and contract management
• Ensure strong documentation practices including solution designs, SOPs, and platform standards
• Review and approve technical designs and production changes to ensure alignment with architecture, security, and business outcomes
• Manage team staffing, coaching, performance management, and professional development
• Promote Agile, product oriented delivery practices and continuous improvement across the platform ecosystem
• Support enterprise initiatives, transformation efforts, and corporate programs as needed

Qualifications & Experience

• 5+ years of IT leadership experience, with demonstrated success leading ITSM or enterprise application platforms
• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Technology, or equivalent experience preferred
• Handson experience with ITSM platforms such as ServiceNow, BMC, Freshworks, or similar enterprise service management tools

• Experience leading application development or configuration teams supporting enterprise platforms
