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.

Job Description

About the team:

The Corporate Strategy team sits in the Office of the Chief Strategy Officer, within ServiceNow's CFO organization. We work on the company's biggest choices: where to compete, how the portfolio should evolve, and how to respond when the market shifts. The team is small, and our work goes directly to the CFO, the executive leadership team, and the Board of Directors.

You will work closely with our Corporate Development and Ventures teams, and business unit leaders. 

The role:

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will lead full strategy projects end to end and do the core work yourself, from shaping the question through the analysis to the final recommendation. On the topics assigned to you, you will be the day-to-day counterpart to executive leaders.

What you'll do:

  • Lead multiple strategic projects at once, from shaping the question with senior leadership through to the final recommendation and Board-level materials.
  • Build and own the analysis and storyline for each project.
  • Serve as the primary working counterpart to executive leadership team members and their staff on assigned topics.
  • Work with Corporate Development and Ventures to keep strategy and inorganic options aligned.

Qualifications

What you'll bring:

  • 7+ years of experience, including time at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or a comparable strategy firm. Experience in an in-house strategy or operating role is preferred.
  • A record of leading complex projects through to decisions that were adopted.
  • Credibility with senior executives and comfort leading discussions at that level.
  • Strong financial and analytical fluency, with the judgment to know which analysis matters.
  • Experience in enterprise software or technology is strongly preferred.
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA preferred.

 

For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $196,400 - $343,700, plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure. Please note that the base pay shown is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location. We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs. Compensation is based on the geographic location in which the role is located and is subject to change based on work location.
