ServiceNow Lead Developer

We are looking a Senior ServiceNow Developer / Technical Lead to provide technical leadership and platform architecture within a healthcare/life sciences ServiceNow environment. This is not a standard development role — it combines strong hands-on ServiceNow expertise with technical governance, development standards, and delivery leadership.

The successful candidate will define and enforce development standards for an offshore delivery team in India, lead technical governance discussions, and own the technical relationship between the ITSM and HRSD workstreams. We're looking for someone who can determine how ServiceNow solutions should be designed and developed, guide other developers, and ensure technical standards are consistently followed across the platform.
