About the role
You will work hand in hand with our GTM ServiceNow Lead, who owns the commercial and go-to-market motion. Your focus is the delivery side: the people, the quality, the standards, and the capability that makes us credible and competitive in the market.
Required Skills and Experience
- Leadership and delivery
- 5+ years operating as a ServiceNow delivery lead, or practice manager with 10+ years of experience with ServiceNow
- Proven track record of building and leading consulting or professional services teams across global or distributed geographies
- Experience managing teams across multiple time zones with the cultural awareness and operational discipline that requires
- Strong delivery instincts: you can read a project early and know when something needs attention
- Comfortable being both a people leader and a hands-on delivery operator, often on the same day
- Experience working alongside commercial or GTM functions in a consulting environment
- Technical knowledge
- Solid understanding of ServiceNow architecture, including AI capabilities such as Now Assist, Virtual Agent, and Workflow Data Fabric
- Familiarity with how ServiceNow integrates with external platforms, including RPA tools like UiPath, cloud AI services like Azure OpenAI, and data platforms like Databricks
- Working knowledge of LLMs and how they are being applied within enterprise automation and workflow contexts
- Enough technical fluency to challenge an approach, assess a design decision, and know when to bring in deeper expertise
- A genuine interest in how AI is changing the way professional services teams work, not just what they deliver
Position Overview
- Delivery oversight
- Maintain visibility across all active ServiceNow projects, spotting risk early and intervening when needed
- Set and enforce delivery standards, governance, and ways of working across the practice
- Act as the senior escalation point for complex or at-risk engagements
- Drive consistent, high-quality outcomes that protect TQA's reputation and client relationships
- Team building and global leadership
- Build and lead a globally distributed ServiceNow delivery team, spanning multiple time zones and regional markets
- Own hiring decisions across geographies: define the profiles we need, assess candidates, and bring the right people in
- Create clear career pathways and development plans for consultants, architects, and developers wherever they are based
- Run regular 1:1s, performance conversations, and capability reviews across a remote-first team
- Build a cohesive team culture that works across borders, not just within them
- Identify certification and skills gaps and put plans in place to close them
- AI-powered delivery
- Champion the use of AI tooling within delivery itself: accelerating documentation, code generation, testing, quality assurance, and project governance
- Set expectations that the team actively uses AI to work smarter, not just delivers AI solutions for clients
- Stay current on how AI tools are evolving within the ServiceNow ecosystem and translate that into better delivery practice
- Help the team develop fluency with AI-assisted ways of working as a core competency, not an optional extra
- IP capture and practice development
- Systematically capture reusable assets from delivery: accelerators, templates, integration patterns, configuration frameworks, and documented solutions
- Work closely with the GTM ServiceNow Lead to package delivery IP into repeatable offerings that can be taken to market
- Maintain and evolve a library of practice assets that shortens sales cycles and improves delivery consistency
- Treat what the team builds for clients as a source of competitive advantage for TQA, not just billable output
- GTM and commercial collaboration
- Work closely with the GTM ServiceNow Lead to align delivery capability with what is being sold
- Support pre-sales and scoping conversations where delivery credibility and input is needed
- Contribute reusable assets and delivery proof points that strengthen proposals and RFP responses
- Flag capacity constraints or capability gaps that affect what we can realistically take on
