Manager, ServiceNow Platform

The Basics

The Manager, ServiceNow Platform is the strategic owner of Tanium’s enterprise ServiceNow environment — accountable for the platform roadmap, governance, and delivery across our full suite of modules: ITSM, ITOM, Hardware and Software Asset Management (HAM/SAM), Vulnerability Response (VR), Security Incident Response (SIR), Integrated Risk Management (IRM), Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM), and Technology Provider/Customer Service Management (TPSM/CSM). You’ll lead a team of seven platform specialists, mature our CMDB and CSDM framework, and serve as the primary partner to IT and Security, to stakeholders across the broader organization, and to the customer-facing teams who rely on ServiceNow to run the business.

Two things make this role stand out. You’ll join our TPSM/CSM implementation mid-flight — a high-visibility program reshaping how Tanium delivers and manages customer service at scale. And you’ll serve as customer zero for Tanium’s own product integrations, working directly with our product and engineering teams to pilot, validate, and operationalize native Tanium capabilities within ServiceNow before they reach customers. You’ll also lead the adoption of AI across the platform, from Now Assist to agentic workflows and AI-driven automation.

This is a people-first leadership role for a technically grounded manager who can balance hands-on platform ownership with leading an already high-performing team — meshing with its established culture while continuing to develop it.

This position follows the Company’s hybrid schedule which currently requires employees to work in the office at one of the following locations a minimum of three days per week: Addison, TX; Bellevue, WA; Durham, NC; Emeryville, CA; or Reston, VA.

What you'll do

• Lead and develop the team

  • Manage, mentor, and retain a team of seven ServiceNow administrators, developers, architects, and business analysts
  • Define team goals, career development paths, and performance expectations; conduct regular 1:1s and reviews
  • Own Agile/Scrum delivery — sprint planning, backlog grooming, and story pointing for predictable, high-quality releases
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration, and accountability

  Own the platform

  • Define and execute the ServiceNow platform roadmap, balancing stakeholder demand with platform health, technical debt, and upgrade cycles
  • Govern the platform — coding standards, change management, release processes, upgrades, patching, and instance health across sub-production and production environments
  • Own integration strategy across ServiceNow and enterprise systems (Integration Hub, REST/SOAP APIs, MID Servers), partnering with infrastructure, security, identity, finance, and HR
  • Serve as customer zero for Tanium product integrations — pilot and operationalize real-time endpoint data, vulnerability feeds, asset discovery, and automated remediation workflows before they reach external customers

  Drive CMDB and CSDM maturity

  • Own the CMDB governance framework: data quality standards, CI lifecycle, duplicate management, and reconciliation rules
  • Lead CSDM adoption as the foundational data model for every new module deployment
  • Manage Discovery, Service Mapping, and Tanium SGC for accurate, real-time infrastructure data — enriched by Tanium as an authoritative endpoint source

  Deliver across the module portfolio

  • Help drive the ongoing TPSM/CSM implementation — shaping design decisions, stakeholder alignment, and delivery milestones in close partnership with Customer Success and Operations leadership
  • Oversee configuration, improvement, and stakeholder satisfaction across all licensed modules (ITSM, ITOM, HAM, SAM, VR, SIR, IRM, SPM, TPSM/CSM)
  • Partner with module owners and business stakeholders to assist the BA’s with capturing requirements, prioritize the backlog, and translate business needs into platform solutions
  • Drive automation and AI-powered improvements using Flow Designer, orchestration, and Now Assist to eliminate manual toil and accelerate service delivery
  • Support IRM and SIR risk and compliance workflows that meet audit and security requirements, and ensure HAM/SAM data integrity for accurate license reconciliation and audit readiness

  Collaborate and communicate

  • Serve as the escalation point for platform incidents, stakeholder concerns, and cross-functional delivery decisions
  • Report on platform health, sprint velocity, and module adoption to the Senior Director, Business Systems and technology leadership
  • Champion AI adoption —
