Manager, ServiceNow Platform

Addison, TX (Hybrid); Bellevue, WA (Hybrid); Durham, NC (Hybrid); Emeryville, CA (Hybrid); Reston, VA (Hybrid)

The Basics

The Manager, ServiceNow Platform is the strategic owner of Tanium’s enterprise ServiceNow environment — accountable for the platform roadmap, governance, and delivery across our full suite of modules: ITSM, ITOM, Hardware and Software Asset Management (HAM/SAM), Vulnerability Response (VR), Security Incident Response (SIR), Integrated Risk Management (IRM), Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM), and Technology Provider/Customer Service Management (TPSM/CSM). You’ll lead a team of seven platform specialists, mature our CMDB and CSDM framework, and serve as the primary partner to IT and Security, to stakeholders across the broader organization, and to the customer-facing teams who rely on ServiceNow to run the business.

Two things make this role stand out. You’ll join our TPSM/CSM implementation mid-flight — a high-visibility program reshaping how Tanium delivers and manages customer service at scale. And you’ll serve as customer zero for Tanium’s own product integrations, working directly with our product and engineering teams to pilot, validate, and operationalize native Tanium capabilities within ServiceNow before they reach customers. You’ll also lead the adoption of AI across the platform, from Now Assist to agentic workflows and AI-driven automation.

This is a people-first leadership role for a technically grounded manager who can balance hands-on platform ownership with leading an already high-performing team — meshing with its established culture while continuing to develop it.

This position follows the Company’s hybrid schedule which currently requires employees to work in the office at one of the following locations a minimum of three days per week: Addison, TX; Bellevue, WA; Durham, NC; Emeryville, CA; or Reston, VA.

 

What you'll do

  • Lead and develop the team

    • Manage, mentor, and retain a team of seven ServiceNow administrators, developers, architects, and business analysts
    • Define team goals, career development paths, and performance expectations; conduct regular 1:1s and reviews
    • Own Agile/Scrum delivery — sprint planning, backlog grooming, and story pointing for predictable, high-quality releases
    • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration, and accountability

    Own the platform

    • Define and execute the ServiceNow platform roadmap, balancing stakeholder demand with platform health, technical debt, and upgrade cycles
    • Govern the platform — coding standards, change management, release processes, upgrades, patching, and instance health across sub-production and production environments
    • Own integration strategy across ServiceNow and enterprise systems (Integration Hub, REST/SOAP APIs, MID Servers), partnering with infrastructure, security, identity, finance, and HR
    • Serve as customer zero for Tanium product integrations — pilot and operationalize real-time endpoint data, vulnerability feeds, asset discovery, and automated remediation workflows before they reach external customers

    Drive CMDB and CSDM maturity

    • Own the CMDB governance framework: data quality standards, CI lifecycle, duplicate management, and reconciliation rules
    • Lead CSDM adoption as the foundational data model for every new module deployment
    • Manage Discovery, Service Mapping, and Tanium SGC for accurate, real-time infrastructure data — enriched by Tanium as an authoritative endpoint source

    Deliver across the module portfolio

    • Help drive the ongoing TPSM/CSM implementation — shaping design decisions, stakeholder alignment, and delivery milestones in close partnership with Customer Success and Operations leadership
    • Oversee configuration, improvement, and stakeholder satisfaction across all licensed modules (ITSM, ITOM, HAM, SAM, VR, SIR, IRM, SPM, TPSM/CSM)
    • Partner with module owners and business stakeholders to assist the BA’s with capturing requirements, prioritize the backlog, and translate business needs into platform solutions
    • Drive automation and AI-powered improvements using Flow Designer, orchestration, and Now Assist to eliminate manual toil and accelerate service delivery
    • Support IRM and SIR risk and compliance workflows that meet audit and security requirements, and ensure HAM/SAM data integrity for accurate license reconciliation and audit readiness

    Collaborate and communicate

    • Serve as the escalation point for platform incidents, stakeholder concerns, and cross-functional delivery decisions
    • Report on platform health, sprint velocity, and module adoption to the Senior Director, Business Systems and technology leadership
    • Champion AI adoption — evaluate and deploy Now Assist, agentic workflows, and Predictive Intelligence where they create real gains, and bring forward-looking recommendations to leadership

We’re looking for someone with

  • Required

    • 6+ years of ServiceNow platform experience, including 2+ years managing or leading a team, with a track record of coaching and developing engineers
    • Deep, hands-on experience across ITSM, CSM and ITOM
    • Proven CMDB governance experience — you’ve built or significantly matured a CMDB, not just maintained one
    • CSDM experience — you understand the framework and can apply it as a standard across module deployments
    • Strong stakeholder management — comfortable translating technical constraints into business language and back
    • Hands-on experience running Agile/Scrum delivery (sprint ceremonies, backlog management, iterative releases)
    • ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA)
    • Excellent communication skills
    • Thorough, organized and meticulous work methodology

    Strongly preferred

    • Working knowledge of three or more additional modules: HAM, SAM, VR, SIR, IRM, SPM, TPSM, or CSM
    • TPSM or CSM implementation experience — prior ownership of a CSM/TPSM deployment is a strong differentiator for our active program
    • Proficiency in Flow Designer, Business Rules, UI Policies, Integration Hub, and ServiceNow scripting (JavaScript/GlideScript)
    • Experience managing Discovery, Service Mapping, and MID Servers in enterprise environments
    • Familiarity with Automated Test Framework (ATF), Performance Analytics, and ServiceNow reporting
    • CIS certification(s) in one or more of ITSM, ITOM, Data Foundations, HAM, SAM, SIR, IRM, or SPM; ITIL v4 Foundation

    Nice to have

    • Hands-on experience with the Tanium platform (endpoint management, asset discovery, vulnerability data) — it accelerates your work as customer zero
    • Exposure to Now Assist, agentic AI workflows, Predictive Intelligence, or generative AI within ServiceNow
    • Vulnerability Response (VR) experience in a SecOps context

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
