ITIL jobs explained

ITIL - the IT Infrastructure Library - is currently the main approach to IT service management. It has been widely adopted and is now the chief structure put in place to guide businesses on using IT to assist their transformation and growth. ITIL practices are detailed in five individual documents, which provide companies with a methodical guide to the management of IT services.

The ITIL jobs currently on the market require IT professionals who are able to manage this service and deliver the infrastructure to the rest of the business. Certain companies or positions may specify that a candidate needs relevant ITIL qualifications. This certification is essential for ITIL management jobs, consultant positions and for those applying to run an IT services department.

For many ITIL vacancies, the qualification is only specified as an additional requirement. This means that displaying a high level of experience with the infrastructure may also suffice. However, having the additional ITIL qualifications will help to highlight an in-depth knowledge of the system to prospective employers.

There is a difference in salaries between those candidates who do and do not have ITIL certifications. Those who have acquired the qualification are likely to receive a slightly higher wage than those who simply have experience with the system.
