ServiceNow is seeking a Partner Technology Architect — Autonomous Workforce to drive partner growth across the AI-powered workflows that run the modern enterprise — IT service and operations management, employee experience, and strategic portfolio execution. This is a senior technical strategist role that combines deep technical expertise in ServiceNow ITSM, ITOM, HR Service Delivery (HRSD), and Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) with business acumen, partner activation at scale, and the ability to translate complex service-operations and employee-experience requirements into commercially viable solutions. As a Practice-aligned Partner Technology Architect within the Autonomous Workforce Practice, you will be engaged where deep IT, operations, and employee workflow expertise is required — working alongside partner-aligned Partner Technology Architects and Partner Solution Engineers.
The Autonomous Workforce Practice sits at the core of ServiceNow ’s platform — the workflows where AI agents, automation, and human teams operate together to run IT and serve employees at scale. This role helps partners move beyond traditional, ticket-driven service models to an AI-native operating model where work is detected, routed, and resolved autonomously, ensuring partners can confidently position, build, and deliver differentiated solutions that displace legacy platforms and drive measurable operational outcomes.
What You’ll Do
As a Partner Technology Architect — Autonomous Workforce, you will serve as the go-to IT, operations, and employee workflow expert across the partner ecosystem, driving technical excellence, competitive differentiation, and commercial success for autonomous-workforce partner solutions.
Co-create autonomous-operations architectures with partners, developing reference architectures for IT Service Management (ITSM), IT Operations Management (ITOM), HR Service Delivery (HRSD), Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM), and industry-specific operational workflows.
Drive collaborative adoption of AI-enhanced capabilities including AI Agents for employee and IT self-service, autonomous incident resolution, predictive operations and AIOps analytics, and automated change and remediation.
Build reusable co-innovation assets including solution templates, industry-specific accelerators, demo environments, and operational workflow blueprints.
Provide specialized expertise in employee experience architectures, including Employee Center design, virtual agent configuration, and cross-workflow orchestration across IT, HR, and operations.
Influence ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, and SPM product architecture and roadmap based on partner ecosystem needs; represent partner voice in internal Autonomous Workforce strategy forums.
Pipeline & Revenue Growth
Lead technical workshops with partners and engage directly with CIO, VP of IT Operations, and CHRO stakeholders to co-design autonomous-workforce solutions.
Execute strategic proofs of concept demonstrating incident and ticket reduction, deflection, operational cost reduction, and employee productivity acceleration.
Guide partners on competitive positioning against legacy ITSM and ITOM platforms (BMC Helix, Atlassian Jira Service Management, Ivanti, Microsoft) and articulate ServiceNow ’s AI-native, single-platform differentiation.
Present ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, and SPM architecture and industry-specific operational strategies to executive audiences.
Partner Enablement & Ecosystem Scale
Design and deliver comprehensive Autonomous Workforce architecture training programs, workshops, and executive briefings that build lasting partner capability.
Mentor partner architects and pre-sales teams on ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, and SPM solution positioning, competitive differentiation, and industry-specific operational patterns.
Assess partner technical capabilities across IT and employee workflows and identify gaps; develop practice-specific capability maturation plans and certification pathways.
Represent ServiceNow Autonomous Workforce innovation at industry events and IT and HR transformation forums; contribute to thought leadership content.
Business Growth & Value Realization
Collaborate with partner-aligned Partner Technology Architects on Autonomous Workforce joint business planning.
Guide partners from concept to validated solution to scalable commercialization with clear monetization pathways.
Connect operational architecture to measurable business outcomes (mean time to resolution, deflection rate, operational cost reduction, employee productivity).
Maintain expert-level knowledge of the ITSM, ITOM, and employee-service landscape including BMC Helix, Atlassian Jira Service Management, Ivanti, Microsoft, Freshservice, and emerging platforms.
Advise partners on coexistence and migration strategies for customers transitioning from legacy ITSM and ITOM platforms.
Monitor industry-specific adoption patterns across IT and employee workflows and translate market intelligence into partner-relevant insights.

Experience working with partner ecosystems (GSIs, SIs, ISVs) and understanding partner business models and co-selling dynamics.
Working knowledge of AI-enabled operations use cases including virtual agents, autonomous incident resolution, predictive analytics, AIOps, and automated remediation workflows.
