ServiceNow CSM & SPM Deployment Program Manager

Remote
Contracted
Senior Executive

​Role Overview
The ServiceNow Program Oversight Lead serves as the client’s independent authority and “Voice of the Customer” throughout the enterprise ServiceNow CSM and SPM deployments. While a third-party implementation partner is responsible for delivery, this role provides governance, validation, and program oversight to ensure the implementation aligns with business objectives, adheres to ServiceNow leading practices, and avoids unnecessary customization or technical debt. This role is not responsible for hands-on configuration. The focus is on protecting the integrity of the platform, enforcing quality, and ensuring the program delivers as intended. ServiceNow CSM and SPM deployment experience is a must!

Vendor Oversight & Delivery Accountability
  • Act as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and the implementation partner (e.g., HCLTech).
  • Identify and escalate risks, challenge architectural decisions, and ensure accountability across delivery.
Checkpoint & Deliverable Validation
  • Establish and enforce milestone checkpoints. Validate “definition of done” and ensure all deliverables meet business requirements before acceptance.
Testing Strategy & Quality Assurance
  • Guide UAT strategy, test scenarios, and acceptance criteria.
  • Act as an independent arbiter on defects (bug vs. enhancement) and ensure readiness for go-live.
Strategic Alignment & Roadmap Support
  • Advise on platform roadmap and future phases (e.g., ITOM, HRSD).
  • Ensure current implementation supports long-term scalability and prepare the organization for adoption and transition

  • Strong understanding of ServiceNow best practices, including OOB utilization, CSDM alignment, and scalable platform design
  • Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to both executive stakeholders and technical teams
  • Experience working alongside and challenging large system integrators (e.g., HCLTech)

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
