What You'll Bring
-
You are a seasoned ServiceNow technical consultant who thrives in complex enterprise environments and has a track record of building and delivering transformational ServiceNow implementations.

Passion for leveraging the ServiceNow platform to streamline planning and delivery operations, improve planner, PMO, and delivery team experiences, and bring visibility and control to demand, investment, and delivery across the portfolio
-
Experience gathering and analyzing business requirements and writing well-formed user stories and acceptance criteria, enough to backstop a business process consultant on discovery and backlog work
-
