Join us to put AI to work for people.

Job Description

About the team:

The Corporate Strategy team sits in the Office of the Chief Strategy Officer, within ServiceNow's CFO organization. We work on the company's biggest choices: where to compete, how the portfolio should evolve, and how to respond when the market shifts. The team is small, and our work goes directly to the CFO, the executive leadership team, and the Board of Directors.

You will work closely with our Corporate Development and Ventures teams, and business unit leaders.

The role:

You will own workstreams on enterprise-level strategic questions, from framing the problem through to the final recommendation. The role includes building the analysis, writing the story, and presenting it to senior leaders.

What you'll do

• Scope ambiguous strategic questions into clear hypotheses and workplans, then run the analysis to answer them.
• Build the fact base, including market and competitive analysis, customer and financial analysis, and synthesis of internal data and external research.
• Write and present materials for the CFO, the executive leadership team, and the Board.
• Work with business unit and functional leaders to test recommendations and gather input.
• Partner with Corporate Development and Ventures by providing strategic context on markets and inorganic options.

Qualifications

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years of experience, including time at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or a comparable strategy firm. We welcome candidates coming directly from consulting and candidates who have since moved into industry.
• A record of structuring unclear problems and reaching a recommendation that holds up under scrutiny.
• Strong quantitative skills and financial fluency. You are comfortable with P&Ls, unit economics, and building and reading models.
• Clear writing. You can make an argument in one page.
• Good judgment about what matters, and the ability to work comfortably with senior stakeholders.
• Experience in enterprise software or technology is a plus.
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA preferred.

For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $174,000 - $304,500, plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits.

Please note that the base pay shown is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location. We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs. Compensation is based on the geographic location in which the role is located and is subject to change based on work location.
