ServiceNow is one of those platforms that quietly takes over an organisation. First it is the help desk, then HR, then security, then everything. 🦸 That growth has created a real shortage of skilled people, which is great news for your career.
A typical ServiceNow career path
- ServiceNow Administrator: users, groups, catalogue items, forms and basic workflows
- ServiceNow Developer: scripting, Flow Designer, Integration Hub and portals
- Technical Consultant: deep module knowledge (ITSM, HRSD, CSM, ITOM or SecOps)
- Technical Lead: design decisions, code reviews and mentoring
- Architect or Platform Owner: governance, roadmap and enterprise design
Certifications to aim for
- CSA (Certified System Administrator): the starting point
- CAD (Certified Application Developer): for developers
- CIS certifications: one or two for the modules you work in
- CTA or CMA: for experienced architects
Five habits of great ServiceNow people
- Configure before you customise. Future upgrades will thank you.
- Care about the CMDB. Everyone avoids it, which makes people who fix it valuable.
- Keep up with releases. Twice a year, new features land.
- Learn the AI features. Now Assist and AI agents are moving into real projects.
- Talk to the business. The best platform people understand processes, not just code.
