Our direct client, a major enterprise organization, is seeking a ServiceNow Security Architect to lead security solutioning within the platform. This role is dedicated entirely to security not a hands-on developer position but requires the technical depth to collaborate effectively with developers and drive platform-wide improvements.
You ll report directly to the Technical Lead and serve as a critical resource as the team prepares for an RCE audit this July. This is not a role for someone who needs ramp-up time we re looking for an experienced, confident professional who can hit the ground running and own this space.

  • Exposure to IDM (Identity Management) and internal tools such as CyberArk
  • Familiarity with ITIL best practices and handling security across complex system landscapes (400+ systems)
  • Proven track record of identifying and closing security gaps on the ServiceNow platform
  • Development background is a plus helpful to understand developer workflows (will not be doing any coding)

Key Responsibilities:

  • Serve as a principal architect dedicated to ServiceNow security strategy and governance
  • Architect and implement scalable access control models and enhance platform security
  • Prepare the platform and team for upcoming audits, ensuring compliance and readiness
  • Collaborate closely with teammates on access and identity governance without managing direct reports
  • Lead creation and refinement of statements of work and ensure proper IDM alignment
  • Serve as a go-to resource for platform security, driving continuous improvement and high visibility outcomes

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Relevant certifications (ServiceNow, Security, ITIL)
  • Bachelor's degree (preferred but not required)
  • Experience in audit-intensive or heavily governed environments

Why Consider This Role?

  • Direct impact on enterprise-level security architecture
  • Hybrid flexibility with locations in Arizona or Chicago
  • Long-term opportunity with FTE conversion targeted for 2026
  • Critical role within a mature, stable organization undergoing transformation
  • Opportunity to lead security decisions without people management responsibilities
