Job description

At Qualtrics, we create software the world’s best brands use to deliver exceptional frontline experiences, build high-performing teams, and design products people love. But we are more than a platform—we are the creators and stewards of the Experience Management category serving over 18K clients globally. Building a category takes grit, determination, and a disdain for convention—but most of all it requires close-knit, high-functioning teams with an unwavering dedication to serving our customers.
When you join one of our teams, you’ll be part of a nimble group that’s empowered to set aggressive goals and move fast to achieve them. Strategic risks are encouraged and complex problems are solved together, by passing the mic and iterating until the best solution comes to light. You won’t have to look to find growth opportunities—ready or not, they’ll find you. From retail to government to healthcare, we’re on a mission to bring humanity, connection, and empathy back to business. Join over 5,000 people across the globe who think that’s work worth doing.

  • Manage multiple project teams across business units, IT, and vendors, ensuring aligned timelines and outcomes.
  • Partner with ServiceNow platform owners, architects, and implementation partners to plan releases, manage configuration and integration dependencies, and prioritize the roadmap.
  • Track program health using appropriate tools and metrics, ensuring issues are surfaced and addressed.
  • Conduct steering meetings, retrospectives, and decision forums with executive and operational stakeholders.

  • Proven success delivering programs with cross-functional teams, external vendors, and multiple stakeholders.
  • Experience leading customer service or support transformation initiatives (e.g., support operations redesign, case management modernization, self-service/knowledge enablement, or service-level improvements).
  • Hands-on experience delivering programs on the ServiceNow platform (e.g., CSM, ITSM, or related modules).
  • Strong command of program/project management tools and methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, Jira, Smartsheet, etc.)
  • Experience managing risk, scope, and dependencies across teams with competing priorities.
  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement skills, including executive level reporting.
