ServiceNow ServiceNow · Enterprise · Toronto, ON +1 · Sales

This role is for an Area VP of Solution Consulting in Canada, focusing on defining and executing the AI-native vision for ServiceNow's platform. The role involves leading a team of Solution Consultants, championing AI products like Now Assist and AI Agents, building AI demonstration frameworks, and engaging with C-suite executives on AI-driven digital transformation. The focus is on translating AI capabilities into business outcomes and driving pipeline impact through AI-centric customer engagements. While the role heavily involves AI strategy and customer-facing AI solutions, the core function is sales enablement and leadership, not direct AI/ML model development or research.
