  • Develop strong relationships with C-suite and business leaders to understand the client’s vision and how ServiceNow plays in their digital transformation journey.
  • Translate business objectives to outcomes through the visual customer roadmap.
  • Interact with customer architecture personnel (enterprise and solution) and Enterprise Architecture to:
    • Analyze and translate business information and technical requirements into an architectural blueprint that outlines solutions to achieve complex business objectives.
    • Position ServiceNow as the system of action to enable the integrated digital transformation roadmap.
    • Establish and advise on technical governance related domains and associated processes.
    • Drive solid platform health by reviewing and guiding the remediation of configurations and customizations that do not align to ServiceNow leading practices.
    • Work with clients and ServiceNow teams to establish delivery operating model governance to ensure successful go-lives, end-user adoption, and on-going support.
  • Advocate/champion ServiceNow’s advisory leading practices and industry use cases with clients.
  • Contribute thought leadership (methodology and white papers) on how advisory and co-delivery can optimize customer outcomes.
  • Guide a customer down a prescriptive solution design and manage through the technical implementation decision points.
  • Define solutions across the platform that align with customer objectives.
