Customer Excellence Group — Product Delivery & Innovation

Role overview

ServiceNow is standing up a dedicated Communities of Practice function within the Customer Excellence Group (CEG). This function is designed to multiply expertise across 3,400+ practitioners worldwide. The Director, Community of Practice will own the strategy, design, and day-to-day operation of this community ecosystem, scaling AI and technical readiness across every GEO and every customer-facing role.

This role sits at the convergence of three disciplines - readiness, content standardization, and communities and serves as the amplification layer in the PD&I Readiness Engine. Product experts earn hard-won lessons in the field; the readiness team packages them; you multiply them across CEG so expertise is scaled.

You will report to the Director of Technical Readiness and partner closely with GEO leadership, Product, Engineering, and ServiceNow University to build something CEG has never had: a self-sustaining, accountable system for scaling practitioner expertise at speed.

Relationship to CEG Role & Org Excellence

This role is distinct from, and works in close partnership with, the Director, CEG Role & Org Excellence. That role owns role mandates, competency frameworks, and organizational design - defining what roles exist across CEG and what they are accountable for. This role owns the community operating model -how practitioners build, share, and apply expertise within those roles once they are defined. You will define the competency framework, and you will keep community programming aligned as role mandates evolve.

Key responsibilities

Community strategy and governance

• Define the community operating model, charter, and success metrics for all communities of practice across CEG- scoped to how practitioners engage and share expertise, not organizational role design or reporting structure
• Design and implement community types mapped to certification roles/personas.
• Build the cadence, rituals, and contribution mechanisms (community governance) that keep each community healthy, productive, and self-sustaining over time.
