We are the movers of the world and the makers of the future. We get up every day, roll up our sleeves, and build a better world—together. At Ford, we’re all a part of something bigger than ourselves. Are you ready to change the way the world moves?

Do you believe modern service-management platforms are essential to delivering reliable, efficient, and secure technology services? We do! Ford’s Enterprise Product Engineering & Operations organization depends on scalable platforms, disciplined governance, and strong cross-functional execution to improve employee experiences, reduce operational risk, and enable the business to move faster. That’s where Enterprise Technology makes an impact.

We are seeking an experienced EPEO Integration & Transformation Manager to lead ServiceNow strategy, governance, roadmap planning, demand management, and organizational planning activities. In this role, you will lead a team of professionals responsible for helping shape the future of Ford’s ServiceNow platform and ensuring platform capabilities are prioritized, sequenced, and delivered effectively.

This role requires a combination of ServiceNow platform knowledge, strategic planning, organizational leadership, business acumen, and delivery discipline. You will serve as a primary bridge between application teams, service teams, platform teams, implementation partners, and executive leadership to align demand, manage dependencies, strengthen governance, and enable successful execution of ServiceNow transformation initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to and help shape the ServiceNow roadmap by synthesizing demand trends, pilot outcomes, stakeholder feedback, platform-health insights, and business priorities.
• Provide recommendations that inform broader ServiceNow platform strategy and investment decisions established by senior leadership.
• Lead executive-level governance routines, including roadmap reviews, prioritization discussions, decision forums, risk escalations, and strategic alignment sessions.
• Establish clear processes for evaluating platform demand against business value, technical feasibility, security, cost, resource capacity, data quality, platform stability, and long-term sustainability.

Team Leadership & Organizational Effectiveness

• Lead, coach, develop, and guide a team of three professionals supporting ServiceNow strategy, governance, roadmap planning, demand management, and organizational planning.
• Establish clear team priorities, roles, expectations, accountability mechanisms, and development opportunities.
• Foster an engaged, collaborative, and high-performing team environment focused on customer value, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
• Support workforce planning, capability development, knowledge sharing, and succession planning within the team.
• Promote disciplined execution, transparency, ownership, and continuous learning across the ServiceNow organization.
• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders across Enterprise Technology, business teams, delivery partners, and executive leadership.

Transformation, Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve governance, reduce delivery friction, and strengthen the effectiveness of ServiceNow platform operations.
• Support adoption of automation, AI-enabled operations, agentic workflows, and emerging ServiceNow capabilities where they can improve service quality, productivity, employee experience, or risk management.
• Use demand, delivery, operational, and platform data to identify trends, improvement opportunities, and strategic priorities.
• Support the development of executive-level materials, roadmap narratives, investment recommendations, business cases, governance content, and transformation updates.
• Partner with internal technical leaders, ServiceNow partners, implementation providers, and managed-service providers to identify and apply leading practices.
• Ensure transformation initiatives are aligned with enterprise architecture, security, compliance, data-governance, and operational-support requirements.
