You will partner closely with stakeholders to translate mission needs into epics, features, user stories, acceptance criteria, and roadmap decisions that support a scalable, out-of-the-box-first ServiceNow environment.

Job Location: Remote work is authorized. Must support US Eastern time zone working hours. Preference to candidates who live in the Washington DC metro area.

Monitor delivery progress against roadmap priorities and escalate risks, blockers, dependencies, and decisions that may affect product value or scope

Collaborate with stakeholders on user acceptance testing, change readiness, communications, release planning, and adoption
