• Advocate Agile/SCRUM practices in delivery and foster team collaboration.

What We’re Looking For

• ServiceNow Administrator certification required; additional micro-certifications or implementation specialist credentials are highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies.
• Proven experience managing complex, multi-phase projects in client environments.
