Full Job Description
About the Role

ServiceNow is seeking a driven CRM Architect Director to serve a dual mandate: leading hands-on customer delivery engagements and partnering with our sales organization on pre-sales solutioning and scoping. This role sits at the intersection of delivery excellence and revenue growth, requiring equal fluency in architecting real-world CRM implementations and shaping compelling, credible solutions for prospective customers.

Approximately half of your time will be spent in active delivery - guiding customers through complex CRM implementations, ensuring adoption, and driving measurable outcomes. The other half will be spent in pre-sales - working alongside account teams to scope engagements, respond to customer challenges, and develop implementation strategies that win trust and close deals. This is a rare opportunity for an architect who thrives both in the field and in front of prospects.

What You Will Do
  • Lead and architect complex ServiceNow CRM implementations, owning delivery quality and customer outcomes end-to-end
  • Partner with sales teams on pre-sales pursuits - scoping engagements, developing implementation strategies, and building customer confidence in our approach
  • Create and present compelling solution designs, project scopes, and delivery roadmaps for prospective customers
  • Develop SOW content, effort estimates, and risk assessments that reflect realistic delivery expectations
  • Demonstrate a deep sense of empathy for the customer and genuine passion in helping them succeed
  • Engage and collaborate with ServiceNow R&D teams on escalated technical issues
  • Influence and consult (providing options with pros, cons, and risks) while providing thought leadership to sponsors and stakeholders on business process and technical problems
  • Review customer architecture, design processes, and system integrations to the platform
  • Configure solution environments to address customer requirements and business issues
  • Mentor field resources in implementation methodology, configuration, and best practices for CRM applications
  • Share best practices and known solutions with internal teams, the community, and customers to promote faster time to value
  • Collaborate with Product Management and Development to enhance ServiceNow products with capabilities that address customer needs
  • Stay current on competitive analyses and articulate differentiators between ServiceNow and its competitors


Qualifications

Our ideal candidate:
  • 10+ years of experience in customer-facing implementation and delivery roles such as Solution Architect, Technical Consultant, or developer - ideally in professional services or consulting
  • 10+ years in the CRM technology industry
  • Demonstrated pre-sales or solutioning experience - including SOW development, scoping, effort estimation, or pursuit support
  • Deep domain knowledge in Customer Relationship Management
  • Ideally ServiceNow CSA and CSM certified
  • Ability to perform deep architectural advisory work as well as hands-on configuration and coding in ServiceNow
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including ability to chair sessions, present to executives, and facilitate workshops
  • Highly data-driven with commitment to driving customer engagement toward business outcome and value realization
  • Fanatical about customer success and tenacious at driving long-term customer value
  • Must be able to travel up to 25% annually, when applicable
