- Configure and customize workflows, forms, dashboards, and data models to meet organizational requirements while maintaining performance, security, and supportability.
- Collaborate with security and compliance stakeholders to ensure that configurations, integrations, and data handling comply with organizational policies and federal requirements.
- Apply scripting and automation techniques to streamline common administration, deployment, and maintenance tasks within the ServiceNow environment.
- Troubleshoot complex platform issues across application, integration, and infrastructure layers, performing root‑cause analysis and implementing corrective actions.
- Document solutions, configuration standards, and technical procedures to support knowledge transfer, continuity of operations, and audit readiness.
