Connect to your opportunity
As a ServiceNow Functional Lead, you’ll be at the heart of our clients’ most ambitious digital transformations, serving as the strategic leader and essential bridge between ambitious client visions and actual, high-impact reality.

Your role is to lead in these ambiguous environments, architect functional strategies, and drive digital and business transformations that genuinely change how industries operate.

You'll own the alignment between big ideas and working technology. You’ll govern the functional blueprints, process architectures, and data integrations that make digital transformations work.

You'll command the agile delivery ecosystem. You will establish delivery governance—orchestrating sprint cycles, managing backlog prioritization, and keeping our multidisciplinary teams unblocked and moving at pace.
-
You'll cultivate strategic, executive partnerships. You will design and facilitate high-impact workshops, acting as the trusted advisor whom senior stakeholders rely on to navigate critical program decisions.

As a ServiceNow Functional Lead, you will govern the discovery, design, and delivery of ServiceNow solutions that drive measurable transformation outcomes.

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
