• Define and track key engineering health metrics (velocity, quality, reliability, cost-to-serve) and drive improvement programs.
• 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.
• Support a culture of growth mindset, accountability, and collaboration across CCX.

Influence across ServiceNow

• Build strong partnerships with leaders across CCX, Digital Technology, Product, Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and HR.
• Represent CCX in cross-functional forums, remove execution blockers, and align on customer and business outcomes.

• 12+ years of experience in business operations, product operations, engineering operations, or related roles in SaaS or digital product organizations.
