This is a remote-first role (U.S.-based), responsible for managing multiple workstreams across risk, compliance, security operations, and governance initiatives. You will liaise between business stakeholders, security/risk teams, technical implementers, and (where relevant) external vendors or consultants to deliver robust, scalable, and compliant ServiceNow solutions that strengthen our organization's security posture and risk governance.

We specialize in Integrated Risk Management, Cybersecurity, Third-Party Risk, Operational Resilience, and AI Governance for highly regulated industries including critical infrastructure, financial services, healthcare, energy, and public sector. Primary Responsibilities Lead full lifecycle of ServiceNow IRM and SecOps projects — from requirements gathering and scoping through design, configuration, testing, deployment, and transition to operations.

Oversee change management: ensure that configuration changes, customizations, integrations, data migrations, and updates follow change-management processes, with appropriate documentation, version control, and testing (including User Acceptance Testing where applicable). Provide governance and quality assurance: validate deliverables (configurations, workflows, integration points), enforce compliance with regulatory frameworks or internal security standards (as applicable), and ensure best practices for IRM/SecOps are met. Coordinate training, documentation, and change-management activities for end users, administrators, and stakeholders; ensure smooth adoption of new processes and workflows. Identify, track, and mitigate project risks, dependencies, and blockers; escalate issues appropriately and ensure timely resolution to keep projects on track. Maintain and update project dashboards, status reports, and other project-management artifacts; document lessons learned and lead post-implementation reviews.

Excellent project management skills: scope definition, resource planning, scheduling, budgeting, risk/issue management, stakeholder communications, change management. Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills — ability to engage and influence across business, security, compliance, and technical stakeholders. Ability to work in a remote, dynamic environment, managing multiple concurrent workstreams and adapting to shifting priorities and timelines. Derived from remote-job examples.
