ServiceNow
Company Description
It all started in sunny San Diego, California in 2004 when a visionary engineer, Fred Luddy, saw the potential to transform how we work. Fast forward to today — ServiceNow stands as a global market leader, bringing innovative AI-enhanced technology to over 8,100 customers, including 85% of the Fortune 500®. Our intelligent cloud-based platform seamlessly connects people, systems, and processes to empower organizations to find smarter, faster, and better ways to work. But this is just the beginning of our journey. Join us as we pursue our purpose to make the world work better for everyone.
Job Description The Role As the Product Strategy & Governance Lead, you will be the strategic connector between vision and execution. You'll own governance frameworks for our most critical AI initiatives across CCX, working directly with executive stakeholders in Customer Service and Support, Global Learning and Development, and Customer Excellence Group to drive strategic alignment and accountability.
This isn't a traditional program management role—it's a strategic position that requires equal parts business acumen, executive presence, and the ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics. You'll set the strategic direction for how our business units collaborate on AI initiatives, establish governance models that enable speed without sacrificing quality, and ensure every initiative delivers measurable impact on efficiency, productivity, and customer experience.
You will be the go-to expert for strategic business unit alignment, the trusted advisor to executives navigating complex AI transformations, and the architect of governance frameworks that scale. If you thrive in ambiguity, love translating strategy into action, and have a track record of driving outcomes (not just outputs) in complex environments, this role is for you.
