• Lead major incident response for automation services; coordinate triage, stakeholder communications, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews.
• Create and execute Service Improvement Plans; use data and analytics to measure impact and recommend enhancements.
• Act as a trusted advisor—translate requirements into practical roadmaps and automation solutions; align platform capabilities with stakeholder needs.
• Partner with Security, QA, and Compliance to meet requirements such as data integrity, access controls, and change governance.
• Own the automation platform roadmap; evaluate new features, apps, and integrations that extend value across the enterprise.

This role may be for you if you have:

• Deep hands-on experience with ServiceNow workflow configuration, Flow Designer, IntegrationHub, CMDB, and custom development/integrations.
