About The Position

ServiceNow is seeking a CRM Architect Director with deep telecommunications industry expertise to join our Customer & Industry Workflows Expert Services team.

You do not need prior experience with ServiceNow’s telecom product portfolio — we will invest in building that expertise. What matters is that you bring a genuine understanding of how telecommunications companies operate: from network and service management to customer lifecycle, revenue assurance, and the operational complexity unique to carriers, CSPs, and infrastructure providers. This industry knowledge, paired with your CRM architecture skills, will enable you to drive exceptional outcomes for some of the world’s most complex telco customers.

• Significant experience working with or within telecommunications companies — including carriers, CSPs, cable/broadband providers, or telco infrastructure firms
• Deep understanding of telco business models, customer lifecycle management, and operational challenges (e.g., churn, order management, B2B/enterprise sales, network-driven service delivery)
• Familiarity with OSS/BSS architecture and how CRM systems interact with broader telco technology stacks
• Comfort learning new technology platforms quickly — prior ServiceNow experience helpful but not required
• Ideally ServiceNow CSA and CSM certified, or willingness to certify upon hire
• Ability to perform deep architectural advisory work
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including ability to present to executives, chair workshops, and facilitate complex stakeholder sessions
• Highly data-driven with commitment to driving customer engagement toward business outcomes and value realization
• Fanatical about customer success and tenacious at driving long-term customer value

• Serve as a trusted advisor to telco customers, connecting their operational priorities to ServiceNow platform capabilities
• Demonstrate empathy for the customer and genuine passion in helping them succeed in a highly competitive industry
• Engage and collaborate with ServiceNow R&D teams on escalated technical issues, including telco-specific product gaps and enhancements
