• Support functional workflows across different ServiceNow modules, ensuring a consistent and intuitive user experience.
• Create comprehensive documentation, self-service guides, user manuals, and training materials that enable users to effectively leverage ServiceNow solutions.
• Establish formal mechanisms (e.g., surveys, working groups, office hours, feedback sessions) to ensure the ServiceNow roadmap stays aligned with the evolving needs of the business.
• Participate in testing and validation of new ServiceNow features, enhancements, and upgrades to ensure they meet functional requirements and user expectations.

Here's what you need
