What we look for

We seek highly motivated ServiceNow Platform Managers to successfully manage our client’s ServiceNow platforms as part of a managed service engagement with a globally diverse dedicated team of industry-experienced resources.

Your key responsibilities

As a Manager in EY’s Managed Services practice, the ServiceNow Managed Service Delivery Lead is responsible for leading the end-to-end delivery of ServiceNow-based managed services for a key client.  This includes overseeing ServiceNow platform operations and enhancements across core modules (IT Service Management, HR Service Delivery, and Configuration Management Database) while ensuring high-quality service aligned with EY’s managed services delivery model. The role balances client-facing leadership – acting as the primary point of contact for a client based in Charlotte, NC – with internal team management.  This position is remote (with a preference for candidates who can work Eastern Time (ET) business hours) and involves close collaboration with EY’s Global Delivery Services (GDS) team in India to enable seamless 24/7 support for the client.  The ideal candidate will combine deep ServiceNow expertise with strong leadership and communication skills to drive operational excellence, continuous improvement, and exceptional client satisfaction.

Skills and attributes for success

• Service Delivery Leadership: Oversee daily ServiceNow managed services operations and enhancements for the client, ensuring service levels, SLAs, key performance indicators (KPIs), and EY quality standards are consistently met or exceeded.  Monitor platform performance, incident management, request fulfillment, and change management processes to maintain high performance and compliance.
• Client Engagement: Serve as the primary liaison to client stakeholders in Charlotte, NC, building trusted relationships and ensuring that services align with client needs and expectations.  Collaborate with the client to define service management strategies, provide regular status updates, and lead discussions on continuous improvement and ServiceNow roadmap enhancements.
• Technical Oversight: Direct the configuration, maintenance, and optimization of the ServiceNow platform across key modules – ITSM, HR Service Delivery (HRSD), and CMDB – in line with best practices.  Leverage expertise to ensure seamless integration of ServiceNow with other enterprise systems (e.g., ensuring accurate data in the CMDB and integrating with cloud platforms or ERP systems).  Proactively drive platform updates, module deployments, and new features to meet evolving business requirements while maintaining platform stability.
• Quality & Compliance: Implement and enforce EY’s managed services governance standards and ITIL-based processes to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery. Ensure all service activities adhere to EY’s risk management, security, and compliance requirements, and champion continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., developing operational playbooks, refining workflows) to enhance efficiency and client value.
• Team Leadership: Lead and mentor a cross-functional ServiceNow delivery team, including onshore consultants and offshore EY GDS India team members, to execute 24/7 ServiceNow support and enhancements.  Provide guidance and technical mentorship to team members, manage resource allocation, and foster a high-performance culture of excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
• Stakeholder Management: Coordinate with internal EY Managed Services leadership and other practices as needed, ensuring effective communication and alignment on deliverables.  Manage expectations of both the client and internal stakeholders, promptly address issues or escalations, and maintain client satisfaction through proactive service management.
• Willingness to travel a minimum of 20%.

To qualify for the role, you must have

• Minimum 5 years of demonstrated experience as a ServiceNow Platform Owner or Platform Administrator.
• 3+ years of ServiceNow Expertise: Proven expertise in ServiceNow configuration and administration, particularly in platform features, ITSM, HR Service Delivery (HRSD), and CMDB modules.  Familiarity with additional ServiceNow modules (such as ITOM, CSM, SecOps, etc.) is highly valued
• Managed Services & ITIL Knowledge: Experience in a managed services delivery environment or long-term support/outsourcing engagements, with a solid understanding of service delivery SLAs, KPIs, and continuous improvement processes. Strong knowledge of ITIL service management practices (ITIL certification a plus) and experience ensuring operations align with industry best practices.
• Leadership Skills: Demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage service delivery. Experience guiding technical teams, including coordinating with remote/offshore team members (e.g., working with global or offshore teams), to achieve shared goals.
• Client-Facing & Communication Skills: Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to interface effectively with senior client leaders and translate business requirements into ServiceNow solutions.  A track record of building strong client relationships and delivering customer satisfaction in a service delivery or consulting role.
• Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset, capable of navigating complex technical challenges and driving results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.  Adaptability and the ability to manage multiple priorities, ensuring the team delivers on time and within budget.
• Valid US Passport.

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Certifications: ServiceNow certifications (e.g., Certified System Administrator, ITSM or HRSD Implementation Specialist, ServiceNow Certified Application Developer) demonstrating validated expertise.  ITIL v4 Foundation or PMP/Agile project management certifications are a plus.
• Additional ServiceNow Modules: Experience with additional ServiceNow product lines such as IT Operations Management (ITOM), Customer Service Management (CSM), Security Operations (SecOps), IT Asset Management (ITAM), or Governance/Risk/Compliance (IRM/GRC) modules.
• Advanced Education: A master’s degree in a relevant field or an MBA, which can contribute to a deeper understanding of business strategy and management.
