Senior Director, Solution Consulting - Finance
Company
ServiceNow, the fastest-growing enterprise company over $1 Billion, is changing the way people work. The company was founded on the beach in San Diego in 2004 with the belief that getting simple stuff done at work shouldn’t be so hard. And that the complex stuff should be easier to manage. We envisioned a world where anyone could create workflows that worked for—not against—them. The ServiceNow cloud‑based platform was built to simplify the way work gets done.
Today, every enterprise is becoming a technology company, creating unprecedented challenges, opportunities, and complexity. ServiceNow lets them run smarter, faster, better. And it helps people spend their time on work that’s meaningful, not menial.
We’re disruptive. We work hard but try not to take ourselves too seriously. We are highly adaptable and constantly evolving. We are passionate about our product, and we live for our customers. We have high expectations and a career at ServiceNow means challenging yourself to always be better.
The Role
We are looking for a motivated thought leader at ServiceNow to help build our practice of Solution Consultants with a focus on finance service management. This leader must be a driver who has an amazing opportunity to work as a trusted advisor to both the solution consulting and sales organizations, as well as, with our Product team. Your influence can have a far ranging impact. This is not the kind of opportunity that presents itself very often.
ServiceNow for Finance is focused on the way work is done throughout the Office of the CFO. Legacy systems don’t allow for data to be structured and in return, task & workflow management is not optimized. We can change this! Our goal is to help our customers unlock value through process automation. Employee productivity and satisfaction will rise – all while lowering risk.
