Company Description

It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy. That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone—freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow— helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started.

Join us to put AI to work for people.

 

Job Description

The Team

The Technical Solutions Go-to-Market team reimagines and accelerates AI-native innovation through a human-centered design and data-driven strategy. We are a specialized pre-sales team of Service Design Strategists, Solution Architects, AI Architects, and Data Architects who partner with Marquee and strategic customers during pre-sales motion to co-create solutions to their most pressing business challenges, and to drive AI NNACV for ServiceNow. Through our rapid, lean process, we integrate deep customer empathy, with technical possibility, with business outcomes—delivering production adjacent solutions and progressing ServiceNow AI product adoption.

Design Strategist

The strategist combines product knowledge with deep customer understanding and design thinking to translate fragmented business challenges into cohesive AI-native solutions. Through human and data discovery, they uncover real opportunities and define in close collaboration with the AI and Solution Architects how the platform solves them in the customer's own language. They orchestrate stakeholder alignment around a shared vision grounded in customer insights, building trust and clarity at every level. This role has natural synergies with teams outside their own, eg. Inspire Value (business value team), Marquee (top accounts), Account Execs, and Product Design.

  • Facilitate discovery & design: Plan and co-deliver design thinking workshops with customers (end-users through C-suite) and account teams, uncovering current-state realities
  • Synthesize and co-create: Lead research activities with the team, then translate insights into collaborative future-state solutions with customers and internal stakeholders
  • Translate to experience: Transform co-created narratives into tangible experiences that can be sold and implemented driving accelerated time to value for the customer
  • Communicate across audiences: Articulate concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, with skill in translating complex ideas for executive visibility
  • Build the narrative: Create and publish engagement stories and artifacts that amplify customer wins and inform product strategy

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, we need someone who has:

  • 8+ years of Service Design experience with the ability to envision and inspire holistic customer-centric solutions
  • 5+ years of ServiceNow platform experience
  • Experience in Solution Sales

  • Familiarity with collaboration, design and prototyping tools such as Zoom whiteboard, Figma and Claude
  • Strong storytelling and communication design skills

Key attributes:

  • Highly collaborative, team player
  • Comfortable in ambiguity
  • Experience working with enterprise customers
  • Experience working with ServiceNow
  • Product, sales, business strategy
