Role Overview 

You thrive at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and systems. You can translate a complex business challenge into a compelling market narrative, align diverse stakeholders around a common vision, and build the operating model required to scale impact. You enjoy bringing clarity to ambiguity, creating structure where none exists, and leveraging AI and automation to work smarter. If that sounds like your ideal environment, keep reading. 

Customer Excellence is one of ServiceNow's most important growth opportunities, helping customers accelerate adoption, realize business value faster, and maximize outcomes from their ServiceNow investments. As Impact continues to scale and Services evolves toward a recurring growth model, ServiceNow is investing in a dedicated Product Marketing leader to define how these offerings are positioned, understood, and activated in market.
