ServiceNow Project Manager

Job Title: ServiceNow Project Manager

Type: Contract

Work Model: Remote

Responsibilities

• Provide project management leadership across high-visibility ServiceNow strategic initiatives and continuous-improvement efforts.

• Establish clear objectives, milestones, deliverables, owners, dependencies, and expected outcomes.

• Translate broad leadership objectives into actionable work plans and maintain visibility from strategy through execution.

• Maintain an integrated view across multiple ServiceNow initiatives rather than managing each effort in isolation.

• Facilitate working sessions that move teams from discussion toward clear outcomes, owners, actions, and decisions.

• Identify delivery gaps, unclear ownership, competing priorities, and dependencies requiring leadership attention.

• Drive follow-through and accountability for committed actions and objectives.

• Help leaders organize and maintain the strategic initiative and continuous-improvement backlog.

• Establish visibility into what is committed, in progress, blocked, and recommended for prioritization next.

• Partner with initiative owners to define measurable outcomes and determine when work is complete.

• Connect backlog items to strategic priorities, expected value, dependencies, risks, and leadership decisions.

• Support prioritization discussions when capacity or competing initiatives require tradeoffs.

• Maintain action and decision tracking so governance commitments translate into execution.

• Coordinate preparation for recurring executive governance and leadership reviews.

• Develop and maintain concise, executive-ready status materials with ServiceNow leaders and subject-matter experts.

• Translate complex technical and operational information into clear narratives focused on business value, delivery progress, milestones, risks, dependencies, decisions required, backlog priorities, and measurable outcomes.

• Establish a structured preparation cadence for content collection, owner alignment, quality review, and presenter readiness.

• Work with presenters to ensure ownership of content and readiness to communicate decisions, risks, and outcomes.

• Build trusted working relationships with ServiceNow platform leadership, managers, technical SMEs, business stakeholders, vendors, and enterprise partners.

• Coordinate across teams where work spans organizational or platform boundaries.

• Ensure subject-matter experts remain accountable for their content and outcomes while the Project Manager provides the structure that keeps the overall effort moving.

• Facilitate alignment when teams have different priorities, perspectives, or definitions of success.

• Distinguish issues requiring working-team resolution from those requiring leadership escalation or governance decisions.

• Bring the appropriate stakeholders together to resolve cross-functional dependencies.

• Maintain visibility into material risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, and actions across assigned initiatives.

• Ensure each material item has clear ownership, impact, target resolution, and escalation path.

• Surface potential delivery or governance concerns early rather than waiting for executive reporting cycles.

• Prepare leadership with the context and options necessary to make decisions.

• Track decisions through completion and ensure resulting actions are reflected in plans and backlogs.

• Leaders have one reliable view of priorities, progress, backlog, risks, and decisions.

• Initiative owners understand their commitments and are prepared for governance discussions.

• Executive materials tell a concise business story rather than simply reporting activity.

• Metrics and value statements are supportable before reaching senior leadership.

• Cross-functional dependencies are surfaced early.

• Decisions from governance meetings translate into owned actions.

• Continuous-improvement work remains organized and visible as priorities evolve.

• ServiceNow leaders can focus on leading the platform and making decisions while the Project Manager provides coordination and delivery structure.

Requirements

• Demonstrated project or program management experience supporting complex, highly visible technology initiatives.

• Experience working directly with senior leaders and translating detailed delivery information into executive-level communication.

• Strong experience establishing governance cadences, project controls, status reporting, backlog visibility, and accountability mechanisms.

• Experience coordinating initiatives across multiple technical and business teams.

• Demonstrated ability to organize work into clear plans, ownership, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

• Strong PowerPoint and executive presentation skills, including the ability to turn technical content into concise leadership narratives.

• Experience facilitating working sessions, leadership reviews, and governance meetings.

• Strong understanding of RAID management, dependency management, decision tracking, prioritization, and delivery governance.

• Familiarity with ServiceNow, ServiceNow platform teams, or enterprise ServiceNow initiatives.

• Experience supporting ServiceNow governance, platform modernization, automation, AI/Now Assist, CMDB, Service Mapping, demand management, or similar platform initiatives.

• PMP certification.

• Experience operating in an Agile, product, portfolio, or hybrid delivery environment.

• This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable operating in the gray.

• The ideal candidate does not need every requirement handed to them before getting started.

• They can enter a complex environment, understand what leadership is trying to accomplish, create structure around the work, identify what is missing, connect the appropriate people, and drive the effort toward a clear outcome.
