About the Role
As a Lead IT Engineer - Service Management, you will own and evolve Nubank’s IT Service Management (ITSM) practice end to end.

- Establishing a service catalog with clearly defined SLAs and OLAs aligned with internal stakeholder expectations.
- Owning the end-to-end ITSM toolchain (Jira Service Management or equivalent): configuration, workflow design, form logic, SLA rules, and integrations with adjacent systems.
- Identifying and closing automation gaps — routing, escalation, notifications, and reporting — partnering with engineering teams to reduce manual toil across operations.
- Defining and tracking operational KPIs (MTTR, SLA compliance, first-contact resolution, change success rate) and building regular reporting cadences for leadership and stakeholders.
- Establishing a Change Advisory Board (CAB) with structured documentation and approval workflows.

- Driving ITSM adoption across the organization, creating runbooks, training materials, and documentation that embed service management culture at scale.

- Proven track record of building ITSM practices from scratch or significantly transforming an existing function.
- Hands-on experience owning and configuring ITSM tooling end-to-end (Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, or equivalent) — not just using it, but designing it.
- Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, engineering-led environment, with strong influence-without-authority skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to present to senior leadership.
Nice-to-have qualifications
- Experience in fintech, high-growth tech, or other regulated industries.
- Familiarity with adjacent frameworks: COBIT, ISO 20000, or SRE principles.
- Experience partnering with Security and/or Platform Engineering teams.
- Fluent English.
What We Offer
- Greenfield, high-visibility scope: you’ll define what “good” ITSM looks like at Nubank’s scale — from zero.
- Direct exposure to senior leadership across IT and Engineering.
- A culture that values ownership and getting foundations right, without bureaucracy for its own sake.
