Job Description
The Role
The Senior Director of Strategic Product Assurance & AI Transformation will lead the architecture, scaling, and execution of ServiceNow's Product Assurance program - expanding from a two-customer model to a portfolio of 40 strategic enterprise accounts while driving AI transformation across ServiceNow's most complex, highest-scale customer engagements. This role requires deep expertise in enterprise SaaS platform operations, agentic AI, and large-scale customer program management. The ideal leader combines the technical credibility to engage customer CTOs on platform reliability, scalability, and AI readiness with the organizational influence to mobilize cross-functional teams across Engineering, Product, and GTM - driving resolution, shaping roadmap, and delivering measurable outcomes for ServiceNow's most strategic customers.
Key Responsibilities

• Report to the VP of Cross Workflow Products and serve as the executive face of product accountability for ServiceNow's most complex, highest-scale enterprise customers, owning the end-to-end Stay Well program including platform reliability, availability commitments, and agentic AI readiness.
• Architect and scale the Product Assurance program from two anchor customers to a portfolio of 40 strategic enterprise accounts, designing the operating model, playbooks, and executive engagement rhythms that make Product Assurance a proactive, differentiated competitive advantage.
• Support the VP in establishing and driving AI Transformation Change Advisory Boards (CABs), coordinating ServiceNow stakeholders across CAB customer engagements to ensure alignment, follow-through, and momentum on the Now Platform.
• Act as the internal quarterback when strategic customers bring complex, cross-functional challenges - mobilizing engineering, product, and field teams, driving toward resolution with urgency, and owning executive-level communications with the customer throughout.
• Generate and track the cross-workflow platform roadmap, coordinating across GTM, Engineering, and Product to ensure that commitments made in the field are honored and that cross-divisional priorities like platform scalability, AI governance, and commercial model evolution stay on track.
• Influence product direction across ServiceNow's engineering and product organizations without direct authority - connecting customer signals, field feedback, and platform data into prioritized, actionable input that shapes roadmap decisions.
• Drive cross-divisional company priorities including scale, availability, AI guardrails, and commercial model commitments, ensuring strategic customers receive cohesive, executive-level engagement throughout.
• Build and maintain trust with C-suite and senior technical stakeholders at strategic accounts by demonstrating deep platform fluency, proactive risk management, and consistent follow-through on commitments.

Qualifications
To be successful in this role you have:

• Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into enterprise workflows, customer engagement models, and product delivery - including agentic AI readiness, AI governance frameworks, and AI transformation program design.
• 12+ years of product management or product leadership experience, with at least 5 years in senior leadership roles at a leading SaaS or enterprise AI product company.
• Demonstrated track record of owning and scaling complex, cross-functional customer programs at Fortune 100 or comparable enterprise scale.
• Deep understanding of:
  • Enterprise platform architecture including scalability, availability, performance, and reliability at large-scale deployments
  • Agentic AI systems, LLM orchestration, and AI governance and guardrail frameworks
  • SaaS commercial models including consumption-based pricing, commit structures, and overage mechanics
  • Cross-functional product roadmap development and engineering partnership in a matrixed organization
• Proven ability to influence product roadmap and drive alignment across engineering, product, and GTM organizations without direct authority.
• Strong technical credibility - able to engage in substantive discussions with customer CTOs and engineering leaders on platform scale, latency, availability trade-offs, and AI architecture.
• Excellent executive communication skills, with the ability to translate complex platform and AI topics into crisp, compelling narratives for C-suite stakeholders, board-level audiences, and internal leadership.
• Builder mentality - proven experience designing programs, playbooks, and operating models from the ground up in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Experience

• Experience with ServiceNow or comparable enterprise SaaS or AI agentic platforms - including deep familiarity with platform architecture, workflow orchestration, and enterprise deployment at scale.
• Background in technical product management and/or customer engineering for strategic enterprise accounts, with a track record of translating complex platform and AI capabilities into customer outcomes at significant scale.
• Prior experience leading or contributing to AI transformation programs, including change management, executive governance, and adoption frameworks.
• Demonstrated experience managing escalations and cross-company coordination for complex, high-stakes enterprise customer situations.
• Advanced experience in engineering, computer science, business, or a related field preferred.
