The TPM establishes operating rhythms, manages dependencies, and provides decision clarity to accelerate the adoption of autonomous solutions while maintaining operating governance, compliance and executive alignment.

Your North Star: drive CoE operations to dramatically compress time‑to‑first‑meaningful-use, accelerate adoption, and deliver a consistently excellent, AI‑enabled implementation journey that reduces deployment friction and improves customer experience & renewal outcomes.

+ Prepare executive briefings and facilitate decision forums.
+ Drive continuous improvement of program management practices and templates.
+ Stay up-to-date with AI industry trends and emerging technologies in the field of GenAI and Agents, and apply this knowledge to continuously improve and evolve ServiceNow’s implementation & adoption offerings.

**To be successful in this role you should have:**

+ 10+ years running CoE’s, large programs; expertise in agile at scale.
+ TPM/Program experience with the ServiceNow platform/AI/automation is preferred, but not a must have.
+ A master connector and action-driver, this CoE Program Manager excels at cross-organizational collaboration, tracking issues to resolution, and communicating with clarity and political savvy to turn strategy into execution.
+ A detail-driven organizer who keeps complex workstreams aligned and content impeccably structured, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
+ Exceptional communication skills, PMO tooling mastery, and stakeholder management.
+ AI literacy, including familiarity with autonomous agent frameworks and orchestration patterns, will be nice to have.
+ Experience with enterprise-scale programs at large complex orgs.
+ Strong governance and risk management expertise.
+ Ability to work across different geographies & time zones.
+ Ability to influence across engineering, product, and field delivery teams in a global environment.
+ Proficiency with program management tools and metrics (OKRs, dashboards, dependency mapping).
+ Must be able to travel up to 50% annually.
