Job Description OVERVIEW iTech AG is seeking a ServiceNow FSM Practice Lead to establish and run the Field Service Management (FSM) practice within our Solutions organization. This is a senior player-coach role with a dual mandate: serve as the principal solution architect on the Intelas Next Generation Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) program — a commercial healthcare engagement delivered for Intelas (a Compass Group USA company) — while owning the technical direction, delivery standards, and reusable capability for FSM across iTech AG's entire portfolio of Field Service Management work. The ideal candidate is a true ServiceNow architect who has implemented FSM end-to-end — from solution and data model design through dispatch, mobile, customer portals, parts/inventory, and integrations — and has since taken technical ownership across more than one engagement, directing and mentoring other architects and developers. They are equally credible in a client design workshop, in a pursuit shaping scope and level of effort, and hands-on in the platform building the hardest components. Experience in an asset-intensive field service setting is expected; healthcare, clinical/medical device (biomed/imaging), or CMMS/EAM depth is strongly preferred.

patterns that every FSM project follows, • Provide architectural quality assurance and delivery oversight across the FSM portfolio: design and code reviews, project health checks, and escalation support on at-risk engagements, • Build and maintain the practice's reusable assets — accelerators, scoped applications, integration patterns, demo environments, estimating models, and delivery playbooks — so each new FSM engagement starts further along, • Act as the FSM technical lead on business development pursuits: qualify opportunities, shape the solution, run technical discovery and client workshops, size level of effort and staffing, and contribute to proposals, orals, and client demonstrations, • Partner with Business Development and Solutions leadership on FSM offering

allocation across engagements in partnership with sector delivery leads and the weekly resourcing process, • Own FSM enablement and capability growth — certification paths, training plans, and knowledge sharing across the broader ServiceNow team, • Track the ServiceNow FSM and EAM product roadmap and new release capabilities, and translate them into iTech AG offerings and client roadmaps, •
