• Oversee CMDB strategy, data governance, and accuracy, driving reliable IT asset visibility and compliance with ITIL processes.
• Manage and mentor a diverse, high-performing team, fostering professional growth and a culture of innovation.
• Ensure operational excellence across ServiceNow administration, support, and service delivery — maintaining SLAs and optimizing user experience.
• Partner with IT and business leaders to shape the ServiceNow roadmap, define KPIs, and demonstrate business value through analytics and dashboards.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of ServiceNow experience, including 3+ years in a leadership or management capacity.
• Strong understanding of CMDB design and governance, configuration management, and ITIL-based service operations.
• Experience in global or enterprise-scale environments, balancing strategy with execution.
• Excellent communication, coaching, and stakeholder management skills.
