Lead the revamp of the Service Catalog and mobile app experience.

Role focus
A Senior ITSM Analyst / Process Owner with primary ownership of Request Fulfillment, Service Catalog, and the Service Portal in ServiceNow.
Drive a major portal/catalog redesign by end of year (v2.0), partnering with two existing ServiceNow developers/consultants.
Why the role exists
Incident and Change teams are operationally overloaded and can't be true process owners.
The request process is broken/immature: poor taxonomy, no categorization, unclear ownership, messy backend workflows/routing/approvals, weak chat responsiveness, and mixed "enterprise vs ITSM" requests.
Organization is 5 10 years behind in ITSM maturity; this is a target-rich modernization effort.
Core responsibilities
Own and rebuild Request Fulfillment end-to-end (from intake, catalog taxonomy, routing & approvals, fulfillment tasks, SLAs/OLAs, to reporting).
Redesign Service Portal to be a clean, mobile-friendly, "one-stop shop" (Ohio State's portal is the gold-standard example he referenced).
Catalog governance: define categories, owners for every item, usage metrics, rationalize/retire low-value requests, separate Enterprise vs ITSM requests.
Metrics & analytics: SLAs, throughput, rework, abandonment, usage, adoption, backlog health; present trends to leadership.
Cross-functional orchestration: partner with Asset, Incident, Change, Knowledge, and business request owners; lead without authority.
Process design and documentation: runbooks, RACI, workflows, approval matrices, ownership maps, intake forms, UAT plans.
Must-have traits/skills
Has done this before-standing up or overhauling ServiceNow catalog/portal & request process in a large org.
Imaginative/creative, strong communication, stakeholder management, and analytical chops.
Comfortable leading consultants/developers, shaping requirements, and making decisions quickly.
Can context-switch and help other ITSM areas with process/metrics during lulls (not day-to-day ops).
Nice to have
Experience improving Knowledge and System Status experiences.
Familiarity with mobile portal UX, CSDM alignment for request items/CIs, and adoption/change management.
Location/Seniority nuance
He's open to onshore, possibly not ultra-senior, but smart, clear communicator who learns fast and can lead.
