Senior Manager, Partner Product Enablement & Advocacy

Company Description It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis. She cried tears of joy. That moment inspired Fred to build a company that could do that for everyone—freeing people from busywork so they could focus on meaningful work. Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention. Our ServiceNow AI platform brings together any AI, any data, and any workflow— helping 85% of the Fortune 500® work smarter, faster, and better. We're building an AI-native culture where technology and talent are unstoppable together. And we're just getting started. Join us to put AI to work for people. Job Description This is a high-impact opportunity to sit at the intersection of product management, partner enablement, and customer advocacy within one of ServiceNow's most strategically important and high-growth business units. As Senior Manager, Partner Product Enablement & Advocacy, you will be the outbound voice of AI Product Management to the EmployeeWorks from ServiceNow partner ecosystem, equipping partners to position, demo, implement, and sell our products with confidence, while bringing partner feedback back to shape what we build. Partners are customers of ours too. They invest in our platform, build practices around it, and put their reputations on the outcomes they deliver. You will treat them that way: advocating for their needs inside the business, closing the loop on what they tell us, and making sure the partner experience is as strong as the end-customer experience. You will also support the GVP of AI Product Management in partner executive engagements and help draft the executive communications that go out under the GVP's name. This role reports to the Chief of Staff to the GVP of AI Product Management, within the APEX organization, and follows a hybrid work model. The role is Bay Area based, preferably out of the EmployeeWorks from ServiceNow office in Mountain View, CA.

continuous improvement mindset, and raising the quality and consistency of partner engagement across the organization Qualifications Successful candidates typically bring: Proven ability to thrive in a highly dynamic environment where written guides and playbooks are sparse and changes occur nearly daily: you create structure where none exists, ramp quickly, ask sharp questions, stay current

background in technical pre-sales, partner or channel programs, or product strategy strongly preferred Hands-on experience with enterprise software demos or technical enablement; a technical

outcomes; hands-on experience with enterprise AI platforms (e.g., ServiceNow, EmployeeWorks, or similar) a plus Working knowledge of enterprise deployment realities that partners navigate in customer implementations, such as SSO/OAuth/SAML, permissions and access controls, data governance, security reviews, and compliance Experience working with or within partner ecosystems (GSIs, resellers, ISVs, or alliances) and an understanding of how partners build practices, sell, and deliver Outstanding verbal and written communication skills: equally comfortable running a hands-on partner workshop as presenting to senior partner and internal executives, with the ability to simplify complexity without losing technical truth Executive presence and proven ability to support senior leaders in external engagements and draft on their behalf: polished decks, documents, and emails in an executive's voice, with strong editorial judgment, attention to detail, and discretion with confidential information Proven operator in cross-functional environments: strong prioritization instincts, able to build consensus and drive results without direct authority Analytical approach to adoption: you define metrics, instrument success, and make data-informed recommendations Customer-advocate mindset: able to represent an external audience's needs internally, give candid feedback, and follow through Strong judgment about when to act independently and when to escalate, with the ability to navigate ambiguity Experience leveraging AI tools to improve how work gets done, from research and synthesis to content creation and workflow automation; proficiency with PowerPoint, Excel, PowerBI, Dynamics, and leading productivity tools Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, preferably out of the
