We're hiring an experienced ServiceNow Architect to join a growing Employee Experience & HR consulting practice. This role sits at the intersection of technology leadership, client advisory, and delivery ownership — helping organisations transform their employee and enterprise service experiences.

You'll shape ServiceNow platform strategies, lead end-to-end implementations, and drive high-quality solution design across large-scale transformation programmes — developing from a hands-on architect into a strategic technology leadership role with global clients.

• Define ServiceNow platform strategies and roadmaps for clients
• Act as a trusted technology advisor to leadership teams, programme stakeholders and delivery teams
• Liaise with ServiceNow and ecosystem partners

🔹 Business Development

• Lead RFP/RFI responses, proposal development, and client presentations

What makes this role unique:

• Lead high-impact transformation programmes across global enterprises
• A genuine blend of architecture, advisory, and delivery leadership
• Clear pathway into senior technology leadership and sector ownership
• Access to a strong ServiceNow ecosystem and partnerships

What we're looking for:

✅ ServiceNow certifications — minimum Certified System Administrator, CIS ITSM, CIS HRSD (CTA/CMA beneficial)

✅ Proven experience on at least one large global ServiceNow implementation, OR multiple smaller end-to-end deployments

✅ Deep technical expertise across ServiceNow architecture and solution design

✅ Ability to articulate and demonstrate ServiceNow HR/AI capabilities to clients

✅ Strong grasp of how technology decisions impact UX, operating models and transformation delivery
