POSITION SUMMARY

  • Prepare business cases and recommendations for investments, enhancements, and lifecycle decisions. 

 

Backlog and Delivery Management 

  • Own, maintain, and prioritize the Service Desk ticket backlog based on business value, risk, user impact, operational need, compliance requirements, and technical dependencies. 
  • Balance new capabilities, technical debt, defects, platform maintenance, and continual improvement work. 

 

ServiceNow and ITSM Responsibilities 

  • Provide direction for Service Desk capabilities within ServiceNow ITSM and related employee support technologies.

Stakeholder and Customer Experience Management 

  • Build strong relationships with Service Desk leader, support teams, infrastructure, security, applications, Human Resources, business functions, and end users. 
  • Facilitate discovery sessions, roadmap reviews, backlog refinement, prioritization discussions, and product demonstrations. 
  • Collect and analyze user feedback, customer satisfaction data, service trends, and operational pain points. 
  • Champion intuitive, accessible, and consistent support experiences across channels. 
  • Communicate  priorities, decisions, dependencies, risks, and outcomes to stakeholders and leadership. 

 

Metrics and Continual Improvement 

  • Define and monitor product and service outcomes, including adoption, customer satisfaction, self-service effectiveness, automation value, service performance, and operational efficiency. 
  • Use ticket trends, demand data, voice-of-customer feedback, and performance reporting to identify and prioritize improvements. 
  • Develop and maintain dashboards and executive-level reporting that demonstrate platform  and service health.

 

 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, Business, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience. 
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in IT service management, Service Desk operations, enterprise platform delivery, product ownership, or a related field. 
  • Strong understanding of ITIL and IT Service Management principles. 
  • Experience with ServiceNow ITSM or a comparable enterprise service management platform. 
  • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing decisions without direct authority.
