Head Of Retail & Hospitality Go To Market (Gtm) Ams
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.
The Head of Retail & Hospitality Go To Market (Gtm) Ams is a specialized role that reports directly to global Retail & Hospitality industry leadership and collaborates locally with ServiceNow's Americas sales teams and global core functions within the company (e.g., marketing, product, customer success, and implementation partners) to identify and adapt ServiceNow Retail solutions for the Americas retail market. The Americas is the largest market for both ServiceNow and for Retail & Hospitality so this market focus is critical and will depend on strong awareness of industry trends, regional dynamics and an understanding of Americas specific brands. This role will work closely with our Americas account teams for strategic retail and hospitality clients (both existing and potential) to develop and nurture strategic opportunities based on relevant industry solutions. Hospitality, in particular QSR, restaurants and hotels are a critical and fast growing piece of this business and experience in these industry sub-verticals specifically is a must.
This individual will serve as the primary contact for related pursuits within the Americas market, engaging with senior and C-suite stakeholders, enhancing our messaging, communications, and experiences with an industry-specific perspective, and addressing their challenges and needs. The ideal candidate brings authentic industry expertise, a mature and strategic viewpoint, is visionary with the art of the possible, is fact-based and objective in their orientation, and serves as the key market Subject Matter Expert (SME) to ensure industry and local relevance.
They will align closely with our core and solution account teams, covering both Retail and Hospitality but with a strong focus on QSR, restaurants, hotels and grocery to develop and close strategic industry opportunities. They will leverage their existing network and build new trusted relationships with customer and partner executives, collaborate with sales leaders, and significantly contribute to revenue growth in our top industry accounts.
This leader is responsible for five key areas :
all with a keen eye for driving impact in Retail specifically.
This individual is expected to "roll up their sleeves" and, based on their extensive experience, be equally comfortable devising a multi-year strategy to penetrate the Americas retail market while also updating reports with existing opportunities and key areas of pursuit. They thrive in a high-growth, fast-paced environment and can maintain a 'north star' perspective despite managing the urgent requests of a given day. A typical day involves brainstorming on how to go to market more effectively, attending high-value marketing events as a SME, participating in customer executive engagement opportunities, working with industry leaders and key account teams on specific customers, and regularly meeting with key partner leaders to drive mature relationships that support opportunities and future pipeline. This implies the ability to embed customer-centric industry expertise and experience in a consistent, scalable way. Key partners in this role include Industry & Field Marketing, Industry Geo Sales Leaders, Product, Key Account Teams, and other Industry Gtm Leads. The ideal candidate has a blend of understanding ServiceNow's internal rhythm and a highly experienced external perspective on what 'best in class' looks like to help us aspire to new heights.
They will maintain a pulse on broader ServiceNow and Sales priorities, programs, and communications, and advise on ideal messaging, channels, and approaches with the goal of delivering the best possible solution for customers. We are looking for a high-energy, relationship-building, and empathetic partner who has a business-building mindset and is a remarkable communicator! Emotional intelligence and the ability to collaborate to build trust is a must.
