ServiceNow Knowledge Management Specialist
About The Position
We are seeking ServiceNow Knowledge Management Specialists to support a large-scale knowledge consolidation and governance initiative for an enterprise IT organization. This role goes beyond traditional technical writing: candidates will help unify knowledge currently scattered across multiple legacy repositories into a single, governed source of truth within ServiceNow, while establishing the taxonomy, ownership model, and review processes needed to keep it accurate and current long term. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with ServiceNow Knowledge Management, understands Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) principles, and is comfortable interviewing subject matter experts to convert tribal knowledge into structured, reusable content. This is a content governance and migration role as much as it is a writing role.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in knowledge management, technical writing, or ITSM-related content roles.
- Hands-on experience with ServiceNow, including the Knowledge Management module.
- Demonstrated experience consolidating or migrating content from multiple source systems into a single platform.
- Strong technical writing skills with a portfolio of knowledge articles, SOPs, or similar structured content.
- Experience designing or applying taxonomy, metadata, and content governance standards.
- Comfortable interviewing SMEs and translating technical, undocumented knowledge into clear written content.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) methodology or certification.
- ITIL v3/v4 Foundation certification or equivalent ITSM experience.
- Experience distinguishing knowledge articles from runbooks and operational documentation.
- Exposure to CMDB concepts and how configuration data can reduce documentation duplication.
- Experience in regulated, mission-critical, or high-availability operational environments.
Responsibilities
- Assess and inventory existing knowledge content across multiple legacy repositories (intranet knowledge tools, shared drives, wikis, team notebooks, and standalone documents).
- Migrate, rewrite, and reorganize legacy articles into ServiceNow Knowledge Management, improving clarity, accuracy, and findability.
- Identify duplicate, outdated, or conflicting content and drive consolidation toward a single source of truth.
- Define and enforce knowledge article taxonomy, metadata standards, and content templates.
- Establish clear ownership models, audience definitions, and review/update cadences for each article type.
- Build and maintain governance standards that distinguish between knowledge articles, runbooks, and other documentation types.
- Support quality scoring and audit processes to keep content accurate over time, avoiding large periodic cleanup efforts in favor of continuous maintenance.
- Partner with subject matter experts and engineers through interviews, workshops, and shadowing to capture tribal knowledge.
- Write clear, structured, and actionable knowledge articles and troubleshooting guides designed for rapid issue resolution.
- Support inline feedback and continuous-update workflows so knowledge stays current as part of normal operations, not as a separate project.
- Coordinate with ITSM process teams to clarify boundaries between knowledge articles, operational runbooks, and business continuity documentation.
- Partner with configuration management (CMDB) stakeholders to reduce redundant documentation and leverage existing structured data where possible.
- Support integration efforts to strengthen the linkage between knowledge content and incident/request workflows.
