As the Senior Manager, IAM Development, you will define, develop, and lead a world-class program that aligns identity and access controls to business objectives and risk priorities. You will drive architectural and operational change to advance IAM maturity, integrate AI-driven capabilities, and ensure secure, frictionless access across ServiceNow's global environment.

You'll collaborate with cross-functional partners, including Engineering, Security, Compliance, and IT, to deliver measurable improvements in IAM posture and lead technical initiatives that define our next-generation identity ecosystem.

• Drive the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) for IAM solutions—from requirements to deployment.
• Partner with risk and compliance teams to ensure a cohesive, compliant, and future-ready IAM strategy.
• Communicate program vision, progress, and results to executive and technical stakeholders alike.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in IAM, cybersecurity, or infrastructure engineering
  • Including 5+ years in technical leadership or program management roles.
• Proven success leading enterprise-scale IAM programs across complex, global environments.
• Deep expertise in IAM technologies, including Privileged Access Management (PAM),  Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), authentication and authorization protocols, and access control frameworks.
• Strong software development background and hands-on understanding of the development lifecycle, able to lead engineering teams and influence design and build decisions.
• Experience integrating or leveraging AI in IAM programs—such as automating identity workflows, analyzing behavioral patterns, or enhancing decision-making.
• In-depth understanding of IAM frameworks, architectures, and risk mitigation across cloud, mobile, and hybrid environments.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical topics to diverse audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to build and lead high-performing teams, manage cross-functional projects, and deliver results under tight timelines.
• Experience in agile delivery frameworks and a strong grasp of modern computing environments (mobile, servers, clients, web, cloud).
• Familiarity with compliance and governance requirements related to identity management.
• Cloud and Mobile experience is preferred as we have a large mobile end user presence
