Job description

As an Senior Advisory Solution Consultant - Platform, Data & AI you will be the technical and solution expert partnering with the Solution Sales Executive for Platform, Data & AI. Your mission is to drive innovative business outcomes for enterprise customers by architecting, positioning, and delivering advanced AI and Data solutions on the ServiceNow platform. You will act as a trusted advisor to C‑suite stakeholders, translating complex technical capabilities into measurable business value, and enabling customers to realise the full potential of AI‑driven transformation.

Technical Leadership & Solution Delivery

• Build trusted customer relationships and engage early to support shaping AI and Data strategies.
• Lead consultative discovery sessions with C‑suite stakeholders to understand business challenges, define requirements, and co‑create solution visions that align ServiceNow's (Agentic) Platform, Data & AI capabilities with customers' transformation goals.
• Design innovative, state-of-the-art solution experiences that address specific business challenges and deliver them through impactful storytelling.
• Serve as the technical subject matter expert throughout the sales process, qualifying opportunities, responding to RFPs and RFIs, and providing architectural guidance to ensure solutions are feasible, scalable, and positioned for successful adoption and expansion post‑sale.
• Provide thought leadership that showcases ServiceNow innovations, inspiring not only the ServiceNow community but also sales and solution consultant teams.
• Collaborate with broader Solution Consulting teams to build and present reusable yet easily tailored demonstrations, hands‑on proof‑of‑concepts, and "art of the possible" workshops that clearly communicate technical value and business impact, driving customer validation and buy‑in.
• Actively drive and support regional knowledge sharing and enablement activities for customers and partners.
• Present at executive briefings, industry events, and partner forums to share ServiceNow's vision on data, analytics, and AI‑driven enterprise transformation.
• Regularly share, document, and scale best practices within the Solution Consulting team.

• Guide and mentor colleagues, fostering a culture of collaboration and customer obsession.
• Integrate AI/ML, business intelligence, and analytics strategies into customer solutions, ensuring alignment with business transformation goals.
• Ensure customer advocacy, renewal, and upsell by overseeing adoption and value realisation.

Strategic Advisory & Executive Engagement

• Translate advanced AI capabilities into executive‑ready narratives and decision frameworks for C‑suite audiences.
• Lead executive briefings on AI operating models, governance, ROI, and risk (responsible AI, privacy, IP protection).
• Build industry‑specific playbooks linking AI use cases to functional outcomes (IT, customer operations, employee experience, security).

Technical Expertise

• 5+ years in presales solution consulting, technical architecture, or solution delivery in any of AI, Data, Analytics, or cloud platforms.
• Strong business acumen and communication skills to translate technical capabilities into clear business outcomes and value realization.
• Some hands‑on experience with GenAI, LLMs, RAG pipelines, and Vector Databases. Strong understanding of data fabric architectures, data integration strategies, and the modernisation of legacy data ecosystems to support an AI‑first strategy is a benefit.
• Skilled in architectural and value‑based discussions on advanced analytics and/or AI, preferably with proficiency in data‑driven Agentic AI business solutions.
• Proven ability to engage, influence, and build trust with C‑level and senior stakeholders, especially Chief Data Officers, CIOs, Chief AI Officers, and Enterprise Architects.
• Knowledge of low‑code, RPA, business process automation, and API management.
• Experience integrating AI into business processes, decision‑making, and workflow automation.
