- Define, track, and analyze platform health and performance metrics, including availability, incident trends, change success rates, and technical debt; present insights and recommendations to platform and IT leadership.
- Develop and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including platform standards, design patterns, SOPs, runbooks, and knowledge articles; reduce reliance on tribal knowledge and improve onboarding readiness.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to other ServiceNow engineers, analysts, or administrators, helping raise overall platform maturity and engineering quality.
- Stay current on ServiceNow platform capabilities, industry trends, and ITSM best practices, proactively recommending innovations and continuous improvements aligned with business and IT strategy.

- Demonstrated ability to independently design, implement, and support complex ServiceNow solutions and integrations.
- Strong scripting and configuration experience (e.g., business rules, script includes, client scripts, workflows/flows).
- Strong documentation skills with experience producing enterprise-grade technical documentation and operational runbooks.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders.
