Job description
Job Title: Senior Solution Architect – ServiceNow
Industry: Oil & Gas
Contract Duration: 12 Months
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE (Onsite)
Day Rate: Competitive – let’s talk
The Role:
Own the end-to-end ServiceNow architecture for a global oil and gas enterprise – setting the standards, governing the platform, and shaping the roadmap.
Lead across all major domains: ITSM, ITOM, ITAM, SecOps, HRSD, Workplace, and GenAI.
Design cross-module solutions, drive CSDM adoption, and define the enterprise data strategy.
Architect integrations with SAP, HR, Finance, and Security systems using REST/SOAP and event-driven patterns.
Provide architectural leadership within SAFe – PI Planning, runway definition, and governance.
Advise senior stakeholders, lead Architecture Review Boards, and mentor the architects around you.
Identify where AI and automation can deliver real business value – and build it into the roadmap.
Ensure the platform meets UAE regulatory and enterprise security requirements at all times.
Skills Needed:
15+ years in IT; 7–10+ years as a ServiceNow architect at enterprise scale.
Deep expertise across ITSM, ITOM, ITAM (HAM/SAM Pro), SecOps, HRSD, Workplace, App Engine, and GenAI.
Strong CMDB and CSDM experience across complex, multi-domain environments.
Solid integration background: SAP, HR, Finance, Security – API design and event-driven architecture.
Comfortable leading within SAFe – PI Planning, architectural governance, and release management.
Oil & Gas experience is mandatory. UAE / GCC background equally so.
ServiceNow CTA highly desirable. CIS certifications and SAFe Architect / Agilist a strong advantage.
