    Job Description

    Principal Platform Product Manager

    We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead product strategy and capability evolution for our ServiceNow platform. This role owns the end-to-end platform product vision, roadmap, and AI acceleration—driving measurable business impact by enabling value streams through scalable, reusable capabilities.

    This is a high-ownership, high-impact role requiring a strong blend of product thinking, ServiceNow platform depth, and entrepreneurial execution. You will operate as a force multiplier—accelerating innovation, enabling reuse, and driving rapid experimentation to unlock value across the enterprise.

    Core Competencies (What We Are Looking For)
    • Thinks in capabilities, not features
    • Balances short-term wins vs. long-term platform scalability
    • Ecosystem + trade-off mindset: Consistently balances value stream needs, market needs, engineering constraints, and tech debt, and makes clear calls on what should be standardized as a platform capability vs. left to tenant-level flexibility.
    • Evidence-driven bets (not opinions): Uses research, user feedback, and outcome metrics to frame hypotheses, define success measures, and decide whether to stop, iterate, or scale platform capabilities based on adoption/impact signals.
    • Brings a strong technical foundation on the ServiceNow platform, not just functional familiarity
    • Understands architecture patterns, integration models, data flows, and performance considerations
    • Able to challenge engineering decisions constructively and drive the right platform design choices
    • Clearly differentiates between configuration, customization, and platform extensibility trade-offs
    • Curious, proactive, and constantly exploring new possibilities
    • Operates with a "build-test-learn-scale" mindset
    • Strong bias for action — gets things done
    • Delivers measurable impact, not just outputs
    • Understands ecosystem dynamics, reuse, and developer experience
    • Builds for scale, extensibility, and adoption
    • Comfortable with ambiguity and failure
    • Drives rapid prototyping and data-driven decision making
    Key Responsibilities
    • Define and drive the ServiceNow platform product vision, roadmap, and strategy aligned to enterprise priorities and value streams
    • Translate business needs into scalable, reusable platform capabilities (common services)
    • Establish a clear capability model and product taxonomy for ServiceNow platform services
    • Partner with value streams to understand business needs and map them to ServiceNow-native capabilities
    • Identify opportunities to reuse, standardize, and scale platform services across tenants
    • Enable faster delivery velocity by promoting platform-first development and reducing duplication

    Drive a culture of rapid experimentation, prototyping, and iterative learning

    • Establish MVP-first approach: prove value quickly, scale what works, and fail fast when needed
    • Leverage ServiceNow capabilities (GenAI, workflows, app engine) to create quick prototypes and PoCs
    • Own the complete product lifecycle:
    • Opportunity identification
    • Business case development
    • Drive agile execution in partnership with engineering, operations, and platform teams
    • Track product performance and optimize based on adoption, efficiency, and impact
      • Establish and enforce platform governance, standards, and reusable design patterns
      • Balance innovation with control (compliance, security, scalability, and upgradeability)
      • Partner with engineering to drive clean core, modular architecture, and API-first design
      • Serve as the single-threaded product leader for ServiceNow platform capabilities
      • Drive alignment across business stakeholders, engineering, architecture, and operations teams
      • Communicate effectively with senior leadership on strategy, trade-offs, and impact
      Required Qualifications
      • Bachelors degree required, preferably in Information Systems.
      • 10–15+ years in Product Management, Platform Product Management, with a strong understanding of Service Now
      • Deep expertise in ServiceNow platform (ITSM, ITOM, CMDB, workflows, App Engine, integrations)
      • Strong understanding of enterprise integration and platform ecosystems
      • Proven ability to map business needs to platform capabilities and drive adoption at scale
      • Demonstrated experience in driving product strategy, roadmap, and execution end-to-end
      Success Metrics
      • Adoption of ServiceNow platform capabilities across value streams
      • Reduction in duplicate/overlapping capabilities
      • Time-to-market improvements (delivery acceleration)
      • Measurable business outcomes (efficiency, cost, experience)
      • Innovation velocity (number of prototypes scaled solutions)
