Senior ServiceNow Engineer
Salary: Up to £80,000
Location: Manchester (Hybrid 2 days onsite, 3 remote)
Type: Permanent
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to step into a senior, highly visible ServiceNow role within a well-established, globally recognised organisation based in the heart of Manchester.
ServiceNow is a strategic platform here not a side system. Youll be the most senior technical ServiceNow specialist in the organisation, acting as the global SME, shaping the roadmap, influencing senior stakeholders, and driving real business value through automation, integration, and platform excellence.
If youre looking for ownership, influence, and technical depth this role delivers all three.
What Youll Be Doing
Designing, developing, configuring and enhancing the ServiceNow platform across enterprise-scale environments
Leading the technical direction and roadmap for ServiceNow globally
Working closely with senior business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into scalable solutions
Delivering and optimising solutions across ITSM, ITOM, HR, CSM, Service Catalogue, App Engine and integrations (including collaboration tools)
Driving automation, workflow efficiency, reporting and platform optimisation to maximise ROI
Owning upgrades, lifecycle management, and continuous improvement of the platform
Acting as a technical mentor and leader to junior engineers (based internationally), without direct line management
Ensuring strong documentation, governance, resilience, and best-practice delivery
What Theyre Looking For
Strong commercial experience on the ServiceNow platform (Senior level)
Deep understanding of ITSM lifecycle, workflows, and platform architecture
Experience integrating ServiceNow with other SaaS and on-prem systems
Comfortable working across Agile delivery, sprints, and backlogs (Azure DevOps or similar)
Confident communicator who can engage with both technical teams and senior non-technical stakeholders
A pragmatic engineer who balances hands-on delivery with strategic thinking
Nice to Have (But Not Essential)
ServiceNow certifications (CSA and/or CAD)
ITIL certification
Experience across multiple ServiceNow modules flexibility to learn others is supported
Why This Role Stands Out
True seniority global SME for ServiceNow
Strategic impact influence roadmap, architecture, and platform direction
Hybrid working Manchester-based with real flexibility
Strong backing investment in platform growth and additional team hires
Stability + challenge established organisation with a modern technology agenda
