Position Overview

The Senior Platform Innovation Lead is responsible for driving the strategic evolution of the ServiceNow platform by identifying, validating, and operationalizing advanced capabilities that deliver measurable business value. This role focuses on translating emerging technologies—including AI, automation, predictive intelligence, integrations, and analytics—into practical, scalable solutions with clear outcomes.

Success requires disciplined focus on:

• Value over novelty

• Adoption over experimentation

• Outcomes over activity
