Alliance Sales Executive, Associate Director: ServiceNow - Financial Services

The Opportunity

As a ServiceNow Alliance Sales Executive, you will operate at the front edge of growth for one of EY's fastest-growing alliance relationships. This is a true sales hunter role-focused on originating net-new qualified opportunities, building pipeline, and closing revenue through deep partnership with ServiceNow and direct engagement with Financial Services clients.

You will be a market-facing, quota-carrying executive seller with deep expertise across the ServiceNow platform and strong depth in banking, capital markets, insurance, and wealth & asset management. You will proactively create demand, not respond to it-identifying whitespace opportunities, shaping transformative conversations, and positioning ServiceNow-powered EY solutions that address the most complex operational, regulatory, and service challenges facing the financial services industry.

You will also be expected to embed AI-driven thinking and tools into every aspect of your sales role-how you prospect, identify patterns, qualify opportunities, orchestrate pursuits, influence buyers, and accelerate time-to-close-serving as a model for modern, AI-enabled enterprise selling at EY.

Key Responsibilities

Sales Origination
  • Relentlessly originate net-new pipeline within Financial Services by identifying unmet needs, emerging priorities, and transformation opportunities
  • Drive sales across three core channels:

  • Shape joint go-to-market motions and influence ServiceNow investment toward EY-led pursuits


Financial Services Industry Impact
  • Demonstrate deep understanding of banking, capital markets, insurance, and wealth & asset management organizations' most pressing issues, risk constraints, policy drivers, and regulatory impacts
  • Translate ServiceNow capabilities into outcomes that resonate with Financial Services executives, including regulatory compliance and controls, operational resilience, customer and advisor experience, case and claims modernization, cybersecurity and security operations, and AI-enabled workflow automation
  • Build executive relationships with clients to position EY as a strategic transformation partner


AI-Enabled Selling & Innovation
  • Infuse AI into the full sales lifecycle, including:
    • Account and opportunity analytics
    • Intelligent prospecting and prioritization
    • Pattern recognition across pipeline and buying signals
    • AI-supported storytelling, proposal shaping, and pursuit orchestration
    • Integrating and leveraging digital sales agents across the entire sales lifecycle
  • Champion AI-enabled EY and ServiceNow solutions with credibility, demonstrating both technical fluency and business impact
  • Serve as a role model for modern, AI-forward sales execution, helping elevate sales effectiveness across teams


Market Leadership & Collaboration
  • Deep FSO domain and ServiceNow platform expertise, with the ability to translate that knowledge into enterprise-scale transformations that deliver measurable business outcomes
  • Be the face of EY's ServiceNow Alliance within EY's Financial Services business and the face of EY to ServiceNow FSO teams
  • This role requires an individual who can envision and activate a multi-alliance ecosystem, helping position EY as the firm that orchestrates partners, platforms, and services to unlock new growth and transformation opportunities for clients
  • Orchestrate cross-service-line and cross-functional teams to bring the best of EY to pursuit opportunities
  • Coach and influence account teams and peers through active leadership in the market-not authority alone


Skills & Attributes for Success
  • Hunter mindset with a strong bias for action, curiosity, and persistence
  • Exceptional executive presence with the ability to influence senior client, EY, and ServiceNow stakeholders
  • Proven ability to navigate and succeed in a highly matrixed, alliance-driven environment
  • Consultative selling style-trusted advisor, not transactional seller
  • Strategic thinker with the ability to connect workflow technology to business outcomes
  • Comfortable leveraging data and AI insights to guide decisions and storytelling
  • Contributes sales expertise during the entire sales lifecycle to include RFPs/proposals
  • Continuously brings competitive, market, and partner intelligence to shape win strategies
  • Maintains rigorous forecast and pipeline discipline (services and NNACV)
  • Ensures opportunities are well-qualified, documented, and executive-ready
  • Leads pricing, pursuit, and deal-shaping discussions in partnership with account and delivery leaders


To Qualify, You Must Have
  • 10+ years of quota-carrying executive level sales experience in professional services, managed services, technology, and/or enterprise solutions
  • 6+ years of ServiceNow sales experience, including co-sell and channel-led motions
  • Demonstrated success as a net-new business hunter, not solely an account or alliance manager

  • Experience with the broader ServiceNow partner ecosystem and how ServiceNow fits into a multi-vendor technology landscape

  • Proven team-selling experience across alliances and solution teams
  • Willingness to travel up to 50%
