  • 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.

  • Influence across ServiceNow

  • Build strong partnerships with leaders across CCX, Digital Technology, Product, Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and HR.
