More specifically, it will include the following:
- Lead ServiceNow sustainment, ensuring cyber security compliance, optimal performance, and value from investment while driving automation and process improvement.
- Manage licensing, cost optimisation, forecasting, budget management, and integrations to improve the platform's reliability and availability.
