Director, Business And Technical Operations

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.

  • Maintain a CCX scorecard tying digital adoption, self-service, CSAT, and efficiency to financial outcomes.
  • Drive Engineering Operations Excellence

  • Define and track key engineering health metrics (velocity, quality, reliability, cost-to-serve) and drive improvement programs.
  • Align engineering capacity with the highest-value CCX roadmap priorities and platform initiatives.
  • Lead Product Operations for CCX

  • Establish consistent product operations frameworks (intake, prioritization, roadmap governance, release readiness)
  • Align product roadmaps to CCX and company OKRs with clear trade-off and decision mechanisms.
  • Partner with Product, Design, Research, and Data to operationalize product analytics, experimentation, and voice-of-customer.
  • Ensure CX KPIs (time-to-value, digital adoption, case deflection, CSAT, renewal signals) inform product decisions.
  • Use ServiceNow & AI to run CCX

  • Champion run CCX on ServiceNow by using the platform and AI to automate workflows, approvals, and reporting.
  • Identify and execute AI opportunities (agentic / generative) across intake, routing, forecasting, and operational analytics.
  • Drive Organizational Health & Change

  • Clarify roles, decision rights, and interfaces between Business, Engineering, and Product Operations.
  • Lead change management for new operating models, tools, and processes with clear communications and adoption plans.
  • Support a culture of growth mindset, accountability, and collaboration across CCX.
  • Influence across ServiceNow

  • Build strong partnerships with leaders across CCX, Digital Technology, Product, Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and HR.
  • Represent CCX in cross-functional forums, remove execution blockers, and align on customer and business outcomes.
  • 12+ years of experience in business operations, product operations, engineering operations, or related roles in SaaS or digital product organizations.

    3+ years leading teams and influencing senior leaders in a matrixed environment.

    Demonstrated experience owning or heavily influencing a P&L or large operational budget.
