• ServiceNow Application Portfolio Management Ownership: Own and continuously improve ServiceNow Application Portfolio Management processes, data standards, workflows, reporting, and tooling adoption to ensure accurate application inventory, business capability alignment, lifecycle status, technology risk visibility, and actionable portfolio insights.
• Technology Architecture Definition: Collaborate with business and technology stakeholders to define current-state, target-state, and transition-state architectures for enterprise technology assets including applications, data and integrations, infrastructure, security systems, and shared platforms. Establish architecture patterns, principles, and roadmaps that align with enterprise strategy and create an integrated, scalable technology landscape.
• Technology Lifecycle Management: Conduct research, assess and evangelize new technologies where appropriate, and drive lifecycle management for implemented technologies. Partner with business, product, platform, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and operations teams to guide modernization, standardization, consolidation, retirement, and investment decisions.
• Delivery Leadership: Lead architecture delivery through influence by coordinating architects, platform teams, and cross‑functional stakeholders in the creation and publication of detailed architectural artifacts and technical solutions. As the capability matures, this role may expand to include formal people leadership responsibilities for architects or architecture delivery teams.
