ServiceNow Delivery Lead

What will your typical day look like? Lead end-to-end delivery of ServiceNow engagements, with accountability for scope, outcomes, delivery plan, governance, risks, dependencies and client expectations. Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, using a consultative approach to understand business priorities, clarify outcomes and guide delivery decisions. Facilitate client workshops to define business requirements, priorities and success measures, then translate these into clear direction and actionable work for functional and technical teams. Provide delivery leadership across multidisciplinary teams, coordinating ServiceNow architects, developers, business analysts and client stakeholders to maintain momentum and quality. Own delivery governance and reporting, including progress, milestones, risks, issues and decisions, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Lead Agile delivery across ServiceNow programmes, using Scrum, Kanban or other appropriate methods while adapting the approach to the needs of the client and engagement. Apply strong working knowledge of ServiceNow modules such as ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, SPM, CSM, SecOps and GRC to guide conversations and delivery, without being the hands-on technical lead. Partner with technical specialists to ensure proposed solutions remain aligned to client outcomes, delivery commitments and good ServiceNow practice. Build and nurture relationships with key stakeholders, including government agencies, positioning Deloitte as a trusted ServiceNow delivery and transformation partner. Identify delivery opportunities and contribute to shaping new work, proposals and client conversations within the ServiceNow practice. Mentor and develop team members, supporting strong consulting capability, collaboration and consistent delivery standards. Enough about us, let’s talk about you.

Solid understanding of the ServiceNow platform and its implementation lifecycle, with the credibility to work effectively with architects, developers and functional specialists. Experience managing scope, plans, budgets, risks, dependencies, governance and client expectations across technology programmes. Experience in the public sector or working with government agencies is advantageous, particularly in a New Zealand context. Working knowledge of ITIL and ServiceNow delivery practices.
