The Role

As a Product Development Manager in the ServiceNow team, you will work on either the core platform, the ITSM module or the ITOM module and bridge the gap between technical complexity and business value.

  • Governance: Proactively managing projects, documentation, and risks to prevent "fire drills" before they happen.

What You'll Bring

  • Project Management experience
  • A solid grasp of the ServiceNow platform specifically around either ITSM, ITOM or the core platform
  • The ability to make the complex sound simple, whether you are talking to a developer or senior leadership.
