The ServiceNow Lead, Business Analyst will drive the functional delivery of a ServiceNow engagement, taking ownership of process design, requirements, and solution alignment. You will work closely with the client's Product Owner to assess business needs, prioritize the backlog, and maximize the use of out-of-the-box platform capabilities. Acting as the functional lead, you will guide development teams through requirements definition, configuration decisions, and testing.

As the functional lead, you will oversee the business analysis and process design activities supporting the ServiceNow engagement, ensuring that solutions meet business needs while remaining aligned with standard platform capabilities.
