On the Impact team, we help customers realize value faster, adopt with ease, maintain platform health, and scale confidently—with expert guidance, AI agents, and continuous support. Designers here shape experiences that make complex tools simple, intuitive, and actionable for customers. The work directly influences how global enterprises engage with and succeed on ServiceNow.
What you get to do in this role:
- Lead a team of product designers (junior to staff level) across established product areas, building on strong foundations while driving innovation and usability improvements.
- Act as a player-coach: mentor designers in craft, critique, and problem-solving, while being comfortable stepping into design execution when needed to unblock the team.
- Drive the UX vision and execution of a platform that supports and enhances ServiceNow’s product line—simplifying complex, technical systems into clear and compelling user experiences.
- Hold a sharp eye for design quality, raising the bar on execution in Figma and ensuring consistent, high-standard experiences across your team’s work.
- Navigate ambiguity and teach your team how to do the same—turning complex, technical, or uncertain product challenges into clear priorities and actionable paths forward.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product management, user research, engineering, and content, from strategic definition and planning through tactical execution of product roadmaps.
- Inspire and guide your team, collaborate with peer managers across product areas, and communicate progress and strategy upward to VP/SVP leaders with clarity.
- Translate complex enterprise and technical systems into simple, compelling stories—helping cross-functional partners, executives, and customers quickly understand the value of design decisions.
- Evangelize design strategy and product vision across distributed design and product teams, while connecting design strategy to business strategy to influence priorities and outcomes.
