• Ensure Adoption & ROI: Track usage, identify opportunities for feature expansion (including AI features), and provide actionable recommendations to demonstrate measurable business value.
• Identify & Mitigate Risks: Anticipate program and technical risks, proactively advise on mitigation strategies, and support customers in navigating complexity.
• Partner with Product & R&D: Collaborate closely with ServiceNow Product Management and R&D teams, advocating for customer needs, surfacing enhancement requests, and influencing roadmap priorities—particularly around AI-driven innovations.
• Enable & Educate: Develop best practice frameworks, technical guides, and success playbooks that scale across the CPQ customer community.
