ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist (CIS) in ITSM, Discovery, or ITAM preferred

Work Experiences:

5+ years of hands-on ServiceNow platform administration and engineering experience

Direct, hands-on previous ServiceNow platform administration and engineering experience (not requirements gathering or functional coordination)

Proven ability to evaluate and enforce design patterns, with a bias toward out-of-the-box configuration over custom scripting

Experience in a retail, distribution, or multi-site enterprise environment

Experience working alongside implementation partners (e.g., RapDev, Accenture, Deloitte) in a platform owner capacity

Exposure to ServiceNow Performance Analytics, Predictive Intelligence, or AI-assisted workflows

Skills:

Ownership mindset: operates as a technical platform owner who drives outcomes, not a ticket taker who waits for direction

Proven ability to evaluate and enforce design patterns, with a bias toward out-of-the-box configuration over custom scripting

Deep experience with CMDB, CSDM, and Discovery, including data quality management, CI lifecycle governance, and platform health troubleshooting

Strong technical ITSM foundation (Incident, Change, Request, Problem) as part of broader platform engineering, not as a standalone functional role

Solid configuration skills: workflows, forms, business rules, and Flow Designer.

Understanding of configuration vs. customization trade-offs, with a mindset that defaults to out-of-the-box

Comfort working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where you are expected to take initiative, not wait for instructions

Proactively manage data quality, upgrades, releases, code promotion, and instance health

Serve as the technical authority on platform architecture decisions, including integration design and data model governance

Architect and implement workflows using Flow Designer, with clear rationale for when to use Flow Designer vs. Business Rules vs. scripting

Design and build scalable automation solutions that reduce manual effort and improve service delivery

Evaluate enhancement requests with a bias toward out-of-the-box capability, pushing back on unnecessary customization
