This role carries a defined booking and revenue target and sits at the center of our mission: to make ServiceNow the best buying decision our customers have ever made.
This is not a maintenance role. You'll lead a high-performing team to originate and close large, complex, transformational service-led deals-all configured on the ServiceNow AI Platform.

What You'll Do
Strategy & Execution• Own the end-to-end sales strategy for Professional Services and Customer Success, aligning with Field Sales, Partners, Delivery, and Marketing to drive a unified land-and-expand motion.• Develop, shape, and close business-led and technology-led transformational services engagements that elevate the customer relationship and accelerate value realization.• Drive consistent forecasting, pipeline growth, and operational discipline to deliver predictable bookings, margin, and revenue.• Partner with field teams on opportunity qualification, pipeline health, territory planning, and account strategies.

Cross-Functional Impact & AI Leadership• Build deep, trusted relationships with customer C-suite executives and internal stakeholders across Services Delivery, Pre-Sales, Product Management, Customer Success, and Field Sales.• Collaborate across functions to influence customer adoption, retention, and value realization at scale.• Champion the productive use of AI across your team and in customer engagements-driving greater outcomes through AI and AI agents on the ServiceNow platform.
What We're Looking For
Required Experience• Proven services sales leadership experience in a quota-carrying or equivalent role, with a consistent track record of exceeding booking and revenue targets.• Demonstrated success closing high-value, transformational deals that materially impact customer strategy and platform adoption.• Experience building and leading high-performing Services Sales teams with repeatable, value-based selling motions.• Strong understanding of and ability to successfully engage Commercial-segment customers.• Track record of cross-functional partnership across Field Sales, Services Delivery, and Customer Success organizations.
Qualifications• Experience aligning regional services efforts to broader organizational KPIs such as NPS, Gross Retention, and Net New License Sales.• Active use of AI in daily workflows, with a working understanding of how AI and AI agents drive customer outcomes.• Experience working within or alongside a Customer Excellence or Customer Success organization in a SaaS environment.
You'll Know You're Succeeding When...

Your team is leveraging AI to drive better outcomes for customers and operating with the discipline, energy, and urgency that growth demands.
