ServiceNow's Customer Excellence Group is looking for a senior leader to own and drive M&A integration for the function. You will be responsible for CEG's end-to-end integration strategy for acquired post-sale organizations — spanning Customer Success, Professional Services, Renewals, and Implementation — ensuring that each acquisition delivers on its intended value for customers, employees, and the business.

This is a hybrid role: you will set strategic direction and own CEG's voice in company-level integration governance, while rolling up your sleeves on high-priority deals to unblock cross-functional complexity. You will indirectly lead a Senior Manager running day-to-day PMO execution, and serve as the primary point of contact and accountability anchor for a team of approximately 10 external integration consultants engaged across active integrations.

The right candidate brings deep M&A experience in enterprise technology organizations, strong executive presence, and the operational fluency to partner credibly across CEG leadership, Finance, Sales Operations, HR, and the broader company IMO.
