The ideal candidate will bring broad ServiceNow development experience, strong technical execution skills, and the ability to contribute across ServiceNow capabilities as the platform matures.

2. HR Process Optimization (20%)

• Partner with Business Systems Analysts and HR stakeholders to identify opportunities to improve and automate HR processes.
• Stay current on ServiceNow HRSD capabilities and contribute technical input to ServiceNow roadmap and solution planning.
3. Platform Support, Documentation, and Enablement (15%)
• Provide Tier 2 support for HRSD-related requests and troubleshoot user-reported issues.
• Maintain appropriate technical documentation for solutions, configurations, integrations, and development decisions.
• Participate in peer reviews, testing, release activities, and technical quality assurance to ensure solutions are maintainable, secure, and consistent with established platform standards.
• Help build internal capability through knowledge sharing and technical guidance for HR team members on platform use and potential.
• Partner with IT to explore new ServiceNow functionality and ensure solutions align with platform governance and enterprise standards.
4. Collaboration:

• HR functional teams (Benefits, Talent, Employee Relations, etc.)
• IT Enterprise Service Management (ESM) team for platform alignment
• External vendors and ServiceNow support as needed
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field — or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in ServiceNow development across modules such as ITSM, CSM, or custom applications

• Ability to work effectively within established technical architecture, development standards, and governance practices
• Experience with ServiceNow development lifecycle practices, including testing, peer review, deployment, and release management
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, especially in a collaborative, cross-functional environment
