• Manage the ServiceNow backlog, demand intake, prioritization logic, release scope, and delivery sequencing, ensuring transparency, fairness, and alignment with business value, operational risk, country maturity, and platform sustainability.
• Support the implementation of a structured ServiceNow governance model, including strategic steering, operational governance, roadmap arbitration, KPI monitoring, community feedback loops, and clear decision rights.
• Work closely with country CIOs, regional CIOs, local IT teams, process owners, and platform champions to strengthen adoption, capture field feedback, and enable local autonomy within Group guardrails.
• Drive improvements to user experience, service catalogue design, request management, self-service, portal usability, and reporting to reduce complexity and increase platform adoption across the Forvis Mazars network.
• Promote standardized and scalable ServiceNow practices across ITSM processes, including incident, request, change, problem, asset, CMDB, discovery, and service reporting, while avoiding unnecessary customization and technical debt.
• Partner with Enterprise Architecture, Security, and Data Protection stakeholders to ensure that ServiceNow solutions comply with architecture principles, security requirements, data governance, European data residency expectations, and access control standards.
• Contribute to the ServiceNow licensing and value-realization strategy, including module adoption, chargeback impacts, license optimization, AI capabilities, App Engine, Security Operations, Platform Encryption, and future roadmap options.
• Coordinate with Procurement, Finance, Service Management, and external partners to ensure effective vendor governance, clear SLAs, measurable performance, transparent reporting, and continuous improvement of managed services.
• Assess new ServiceNow releases, modules, AI-enabled capabilities, automation opportunities, and market innovations to identify pragmatic use cases that can deliver measurable value for Forvis Mazars.
• Lead communication, change enablement, training, adoption tracking, and stakeholder engagement activities to support country onboarding, platform credibility, and long-term value realization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
• Significant experience in product management, product ownership, IT service management, enterprise service management, or digital platform management in a complex international environment.
• Strong knowledge of the ServiceNow platform, particularly ITSM, with exposure to modules such as CSM, ITSM Pro+, CMDB, App Engine, Security Operations, Platform Encryption, or AI-enabled ServiceNow capabilities.
• Good understanding of ITIL practices, service management operating models, service catalogue design, request management, change management, CMDB governance, and workflow automation.
• Experience working in federated or decentralized organizations, with the ability to balance global standards, local autonomy, cost constraints, and diverse maturity levels across countries or business units.
• Proven ability to define product roadmaps, manage backlogs, prioritize demand, support governance forums, and deliver incremental value through agile or hybrid delivery methods.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage senior leaders, country CIOs, regional CIOs, local IT teams, technical experts, procurement teams, finance stakeholders, vendors, and implementation partners.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to use KPIs, adoption metrics, SLA performance, license usage, user feedback, and business outcomes to guide decisions and continuous improvement.
• Ability to challenge requirements constructively, promote standardization, reduce technical debt, and protect long-term platform integrity while remaining pragmatic and business-oriented.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in French and English; another Forvis Mazars network language would be an advantage.
