• Upgrades & Testing: Lead unit testing, resolve defects, support platform upgrades, patching, and automated test framework (ATF) validations.
• Emerging Platform Capabilities: Explore and integrate ServiceNow AI innovations (e.g., Now Assist and AI agents) to optimize asset operations and user self-service.
• Stakeholder Collaboration & Enablement.
• Requirements Translation: Partner closely with IT Asset Managers, Procurement, and ITIL process owners to translate business licensing rules into technical platform specifications.
• Knowledge Transfer: Author technical architecture documents, administrative runbooks, and user-facing knowledge bases; mentor and onboard fellow team members.

What Sets You Apart:
