The Role

The Senior ServiceNow Architect will partner with executive stakeholders, enterprise architects, business leaders, process owners, and technical teams to translate business objectives into scalable ServiceNow platform strategies and solution architectures. The architect must be comfortable presenting to a wide range of client personas, from C-suite and business sponsors to platform owners, developers, administrators, and operational teams.

This role requires strong leadership capabilities, including the ability to guide and mentor a large, diverse team of ServiceNow practitioners across architecture, development, configuration, integration, testing, and delivery activities.

The Senior ServiceNow Architect is also responsible for establishing and reinforcing platform governance, solution standards, design review practices, and delivery guardrails across large ServiceNow programs. In addition, the architect provides mentorship and technical leadership to a diverse team of ServiceNow practitioners, helping architects, developers, business analysts, and administrators apply best practices, improve delivery quality, reduce technical debt, and build sustainable client capabilities across the platform lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Advise clients on platform strategy, roadmap planning, governance, and implementation best practices.
  • Present recommendations clearly to executive, business, technical, and operational stakeholders.
  • Lead and mentor cross-functional ServiceNow teams, including architects, developers, business analysts, and administrators.
  • Ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, secure, and aligned to ServiceNow best practices.
  • Provide architectural oversight across modules such as ITSM, ITOM, CSM, SPM, SecOps, HRSD, CMDB, HAM, SAM, integrations, and platform security.
  • Review solution designs, integrations, data models, technical debt, and upgrade impacts.
  • Support pre-sales, client workshops, design authority sessions, and executive briefings as needed.
