ServiceNow Technical Project Manager Competitive package + bonus + flexible benefits If you've built your reputation in ServiceNow delivery and you're now operating at that level where you're as comfortable in front of a CIO as you are challenging a solution design, this one's worth a look. We're working with a well-established transformation consultancy investing heavily in its ServiceNow capability across the UK. They're looking for a Managing Consultant level Technical Project Manager to lead complex ServiceNow programmes from strategy through to successful delivery. This isn't a "status report" PM role. It's for someone who understands the platform properly and can lead with authority. What you'll be doing You'll take ownership of end-to-end ServiceNow delivery across large, multi-workstream programmes. That means shaping scope, managing commercials, overseeing governance and ensuring what's being delivered is technically sound and aligned to client objectives. You'll sit right between the business and the technical teams, translating executive-level vision into structured roadmaps and practical outcomes. You'll guide teams across modules such as SPM, ITSM, ITOM, HRSD and IRM - not hands-on building daily, but close enough to the detail to challenge design decisions, ensure best practice and protect delivery quality. You'll lead workshops, align stakeholders, manage risk, drive UAT and oversee the transition into BAU. Alongside core delivery, you'll also contribute to bids, proposals and service development - because at this level, you're helping shape the practice as well as delivering within it. This is proper transformation work. Operating model shifts. Cloud-aligned ServiceNow strategies. Complex stakeholder landscapes. The type of programmes that stretch you - in a good way. What they're looking for ServiceNow & Technical Background 5+ years within the ServiceNow ecosystem Strong exposure to suites such as SPM, ITSM, HRSD and IRM (ITOM beneficial) Solid understanding of configuration, integrations and platform governance Strong grounding in ITIL principles Delivery Leadership Experience leading enterprise-scale ServiceNow programmes Comfortable across Agile, Waterfall and Hybrid environments Strong risk management and governance capability Confident running workshops and managing senior stakeholders Consulting & Influence Able to bridge business and technology effectively Experience coordinating cross-functional delivery teams Background in consulting or complex, matrix-style environments helpful Exposure to bids, RFPs or proposition development advantageous Certifications (nice to have) ServiceNow accreditations (CSA and relevant module certs) ITIL, PMP or PRINCE2 Why this role stands out You'll be joining a high-performing ServiceNow practice with real momentum. There's strong leadership, genuine investment in capability, and clear room to progress. Hybrid working is embedded. Flexibility is normal, not "approved on exception". There's a big focus on professional development - whether that's certifications, leadership growth or expanding into programme-level transformation work. If you're currently a Senior ServiceNow PM, Programme Manager, Lead Consultant or Technical Delivery Lead and you're ready for something with more influence and more visibility - this could be that move. Send your CV in for immediate consideration. Modis International Ltd acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and an employment business for the supply of temporary workers in the UK.
