ServiceNow ITOM / CMDB Architect - Immediate Start

Our purpose

Here at Datacom we connect people and technology in order to solve challenges, create opportunities and discover new possibilities for the communities we live in.

Our Why 

Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help organisations use the power of tech to innovate and grow
About the Role (your why)
Join the Datacom ITO delivery stream to lead ServiceNow ITOM and CMDB implementations that enable secure, scalable service management for major Australian customers. You’ll be the senior technical authority on ITOM/CMDB projects — running technical workshops, designing solutions to industry best practice (CSDM), guiding development teams, and ensuring high‑quality handover to operations. Our offices are based in Australia and New Zealand. We like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/ life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to figure out what works best!

What you’ll do

At the moment, as ServiceNow ITOM / CMDB Architect you will be focused on:

• Serve as the primary technical point‑of‑contact for ITOM/CMDB projects and customer stakeholders.
• Lead onsite and virtual technical requirements workshops to capture solution needs and constraints.
• Design end‑to‑end technical solutions for ServiceNow ITOM and CMDB (Discovery, Service Mapping, Event Management, Orchestration, Cloud Management) aligned to CSDM and client objectives.
• Translate business requirements into technical stories; estimate and collaborate with functional teams.
• Oversee and mentor developers and platform engineers; own delivery quality and sprint demos.
• Perform hands‑on development where required; produce design artifacts, runbooks, and knowledge transfer deliverables.
• Advise on integration options and vendor/partner tools to meet client integration needs.
• Maintain up‑to‑date expert knowledge of the ServiceNow platform and contribute to continual improvement of delivery processes and practice maturity.

We are a pretty agile company, and are keen to respond to customer, technology and internal stakeholders’ changing requirements and this can mean we evolve in our roles to meet those needs.

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years working on the ServiceNow platform with demonstrable ITOM/CMDB delivery experience.
• Proven consulting experience leading ITOM/CMDB implementations in client environments.
• ServiceNow CIS certification(s) for ITOM/Discovery/Service Mapping/CMDB (or equivalent proven experience).
• Strong hands‑on experience with Discovery, Service Mapping, Event Management, Orchestration and Cloud Management.
• Deep familiarity with Common Service Data Model (CSDM) and CMDB reconciliation approaches.
• Experience with MID Server architecture, Discovery Patterns (Pattern Designer, probes & sensors) and tuning.
• Broad integration knowledge: REST, SOAP, SSO/SAML, LDAP, JDBC/ODBC, FTPS and common integration patterns.
• Solid scripting skills on the platform (JavaScript — Business Rules, Client Scripts, UI Actions, UI Pages; knowledge of Angular/JS is a plus).
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills; proven ability to consult, influence and translate between technical and business audiences.
• Experience working across SDLC methodologies (Waterfall, Agile/Scrum, SAFe).
• ITIL Foundation (minimum) or equivalent awareness of ITSM processes.

Nice to have

• Degree in Computer Science, IT or related discipline (or equivalent experience).
• Additional ServiceNow accreditations (pre‑sales/product accreditations) or progression toward Architect pathway.
• Experience in regulated industries (banking, telco, government) or multi‑customer rollouts.
• Prior experience running pre‑sales or client technical advisory sessions.
