Qualifications

• Significant experience leading complex enterprise technology projects as a dedicated Project Manager.
• Experience managing projects within ServiceNow environments, preferably involving ServiceNow IT Operations Management.
• Understanding of IT operations, infrastructure monitoring, operational resilience or related enterprise technology functions.
• Experience joining early-stage initiatives and helping define the delivery structure before scope and budgets are fully established.
• Ability to operate effectively in an ambiguous environment and turn high-level executive direction into an actionable project plan.
• Strong executive communication, facilitation and stakeholder-management skills.

• Consultative mindset with the ability to advise stakeholders on project delivery risks, options and leading practices.
• Availability to begin quickly and work at full capacity.

Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end planning and delivery of an enterprise AIOps initiative within the client’s ServiceNow ITOM environment.
• Help define the initial project scope, objectives, workstreams, milestones, budget and resource requirements.
• Establish the project structure while the initiative is still being shaped, ensuring the program starts with clear governance and accountability.
• Develop and maintain integrated project plans, schedules, RAID logs, dependencies and status reporting.
• Coordinate across IT operations, governance, operational resilience, ServiceNow technical teams, business stakeholders and external partners.
• Facilitate project discovery, planning sessions and stakeholder alignment.
• Translate technical and operational requirements into clear project activities, ownership and delivery milestones.
• Manage project scope, timeline, budget and stakeholder expectations from initiation through implementation.
• Track project financials, forecast spending and report on budget variances, subject to the level of financial-system access provided.
• Identify delivery risks, dependencies and decision points, and escalate them appropriately.
• Provide clear project updates to senior and executive stakeholders.
• Maintain project information within the client’s established project portfolio management environment.
• Ensure project governance follows the client’s existing standards rather than creating a separate ServiceNow-based project management process.
• Support operational readiness, implementation planning and the transition of new capabilities into ongoing operations.
• Bring practical recommendations, lessons learned and leading practices from similar enterprise ServiceNow or IT operations initiatives.

It is an enhancement of the existing ServiceNow ITOM environment designed to improve operational resilience, monitoring, efficiency and insight.****The initiative is still in its early stages.

Profile****The strongest candidate will be a seasoned enterprise Project Manager who has led ServiceNow ITOM or comparable IT operations initiatives and knows how to establish structure around a newly approved project. They will be comfortable working with technical teams without needing to serve as the solution architect, developer or Scrum Master.**They should bring a consultative perspective, strong project discipline and the ability to take ownership of the initiative from early planning through execution.
