Boston Consulting Group partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. BCG was the pioneer in business strategy when it was founded in 1963. Today, we help clients with total transformation-inspiring complex change, enabling organizations to grow, building competitive advantage, and driving bottom-line impact.

To succeed, organizations must blend digital and human capabilities. BCG delivers solutions through leading-edge management consulting along with technology and design, corporate and digital ventures—and business purpose. BCG runs on trusted data about every device, service, and software license we own.

• Bringing a clear technical view into roadmap, compliance, audit, and license discussions, and representing technical trade-offs and options to the Product Owner and stakeholders.
• Acting as a hands-on technical leader, contributing directly to sprint delivery, particularly on complex stories, configuration decisions, troubleshooting, and high-impact changes.
• Operating independently with minimal oversight while maintaining strong alignment with enterprise architecture, platform standards, and product priorities.
• Exercising sound technical judgment and making clear, defensible architectural decisions across CMDB design, asset data, entitlement modelling, reconciliation strategy, and lifecycle automation.
• Proactively identifying risks, surfacing them early, and recommending practical solutions.
• Influencing senior stakeholders across IT, Security, Monitoring & Operations, Procurement, and Finance.
• Holding firm in technical trade-off discussions where data trust, platform integrity, or long-term maintainability are at risk.
• Establishing engineering rigor, accountability, and quality across a blended technical team.

Qualifications:

• Demonstrable hands-on experience implementing and governing ServiceNow CMDB in a complex enterprise environment.
• Strong expertise in ServiceNow Configuration Management, including CMDB architecture, CI class design, IRE, CSDM alignment, relationship modelling, lifecycle governance, CMDB Health, data quality management, and remediation processes.
• Software Asset Management depth, including software model normalization, publisher packs, license metrics, entitlement reconciliation, and audit defense; Strong understanding of contract and procurement integration, including purchase orders, entitlements, contracts, cost centers, and chargeback/showback.
• Experience designing, governing, and managing integrations with discovery, inventory, endpoint, HR, procurement, ERP, security, monitoring, and asset data sources, such as ServiceNow Discovery, Service Mapping, SCCM/MECM, Intune, Jamf, Tanium, Flexera, Snow, Lansweeper, Workday, SAP, Coupa, Ariba, or equivalent platforms.
• ServiceNow certifications expected: Familiarity with ITIL 4 IT Asset & Configuration Management practice and ISO/IEC 19770 a plus; experience surviving a vendor software audit is highly valued.

You will be part of the IT & Business Platforms (ITBP) team, working inside the SACM & ServiceNow Core squad alongside the Scrum Lead, Product Owner, and engineers, and partnering closely with SACM stakeholders and the Security, Cloud, and Architecture teams. Together you will design and deliver scalable, maintainable, and well-architected solutions across the ServiceNow SACM ecosystem, making trusted asset and configuration data the foundation BCG relies on to stay secure, cost-efficient, and resilient.
