CMDB Product Owner

• Own end-to-end accountability for the integrity of JLL's CMDB and the business value it creates, acting as the single Product Owner for CMDB data governance across the enterprise.

• Define, document, and communicate CMDB data governance policies, standards, and CI ownership rules — operating a RACI model spanning an Executive Sponsor, business/application owners, ITSM practice owners, and Technical CI Owners.

• Identify which asset classes and CI attributes belong in the CMDB, keeping the data model scoped to what real incident, change, problem, and risk decisions require rather than exhaustive asset-inventory sprawl.

• Monitor CMDB data quality on an ongoing basis — completeness, accuracy, and freshness — forecast likely data-quality issues before they surface, escalate and drive resolution of data issues, and coach CI owners and stakeholders on governance standards.

• Evolve JLL's CMDB from a low-level technical asset repository toward a service-oriented data model — informed by industry frameworks such as ServiceNow's Common Service Data Model (CSDM) — that ties CIs to services, business capabilities, and cost/value context.

• Align the CMDB to JLL's IT and business service portfolio so stakeholders can see how technology maps to services and value, enabling reliable impact analysis, service costing, and prioritization decisions.

• Partner with Service Transition, Problem Management, and Service Design leaders so CI data reliably supports change-risk assessment, incident and problem investigation, and request fulfillment.

• Lead the strategy and roadmap for automated, near-real-time CI discovery and dependency/service mapping across hybrid, multicloud, and ephemeral (container/serverless) infrastructure, moving beyond manual entry, spreadsheets, and periodic network polling.

• Require CI record updates as an integral, enforced part of the change-management lifecycle — confirming data accuracy before change evaluation and verifying records are updated upon completion of IT changes.

• Treat the CMDB as the trust layer that AI and agentic automation across ESM depends on — ensuring CI records carry the freshness, relationship context, ownership, and policy metadata that automated and agentic decisions need to act safely.

• Bring critical, evidence-based judgment to evaluating vendor and platform claims of “AI-powered” or “agentic” CMDB capability, distinguishing genuine autonomous reasoning over CI data from rules-based automation marketed as agentic.

• Apply ITIL service configuration management practice and other industry frameworks pragmatically to JLL's business — adapting guidance to JLL's risk profile and operating model rather than adopting it by rote.

• Own CMDB-related continual service improvement (CSI) actions and report CMDB health, coverage, and data-quality metrics to ESM leadership and relevant governance forums (e.g., the Problem Management Board, Platform Release Board).

• Communicate the CMDB's value proposition to business and technology stakeholders, articulating how a trustworthy configuration data model enables faster incident resolution, safer change, and better-informed investment decisions.

• 6+ years of experience in data management, data governance, or data science disciplines, including designing and maintaining data models, data quality frameworks, and master/reference data standards for large, complex data sets.

• Hands-on experience working with CMDB or asset/configuration data specifically — e.g., ServiceNow CMDB and Discovery/ITOM, or comparable discovery and dependency-mapping tooling — plus the ability to profile, cleanse, and reconcile large volumes of CI data using SQL, Python, or BI/reporting tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, ServiceNow Performance Analytics).

• Experience designing a service-oriented data model (e.g., building on frameworks such as ServiceNow's Common Service Data Model) that connects configuration data to services, business capabilities, and cost/value context.

• Experience running data governance operations — RACI-based ownership, policy definition, quality monitoring, issue escalation and resolution — for an enterprise-scale, multi-stakeholder data domain.

• 8+ years of ITSM experience in a large, matrixed enterprise, with strong ITIL 4 fluency in Service Configuration Management, Change Enablement, Problem Management, and Incident Management.

• A demonstrable, hands-on record of applying AI or agentic AI to modernize an ITSM or CMDB practice — not just a pilot or proof of concept — including designing guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, and audit trails for automated or AI-assisted decisions.

• Ability to critically evaluate vendor and platform “agentic AI” claims, distinguishing genuine goal-directed, reasoning-based automation from rules-based workflows marketed as agentic.

• Experience partnering with platform engineering, change management, and vendor/MSP governance functions to keep CMDB data aligned with automation and platform roadmaps.

• Demonstrated judgment adapting ITIL 4, CSDM, and other industry frameworks and standards to an organization's specific risk profile and operating model rather than applying them by rote.

• Strong stakeholder management, facilitation, and executive communication skills, with experience translating technical CMDB and data concepts into business value language for senior stakeholders.

• Experience operating across cross-functional, multi-vendor/MSP environments in a Fortune 200-scale organization.

• ITIL Foundation — required

• ITIL Specialist: Create, Deliver & Support, or ITIL 4 Managing Professional — strongly preferred

• ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA), Certified Implementation Specialist – ITSM, or CMDB/Discovery-focused certification — preferred

• A data management / data governance credential (e.g., DAMA Certified Data Management Professional) — preferred
