Description

Company Description It all started in sunny San Diego, California in 2004 when a visionary engineer, Fred Luddy, saw the potential to transform how we work. Fast forward to today — ServiceNow stands as a global market leader, bringing innovative AI-enhanced technology to over 8,100 customers, including 85% of the Fortune 500®. Our intelligent cloud-based platform seamlessly connects people, systems, and processes to empower organizations to find smarter, faster, and better ways to work. But this is just the beginning of our journey. Join us as we pursue our purpose to make the world work better for everyone. Job Description About the Role: The Meter and Role Governance Product Manager will define and operationalize ServiceNow’s licensing governance and tooling strategy across the company’s portfolio of products and AI-native platform services. This role will ensure alignment between product design, entitlement models, pricing strategies, and audit compliance — laying the foundation for hybrid subscription and consumption-based business models. You will be the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, Pricing, Legal, and Compliance teams, ensuring that every product launched adheres to a unified framework of entitlement policies, role definitions, and metering standards that scale globally. About the impact 1. Strategy & Vision Establish a clear vision for ServiceNow’s licensing and metering governance in alignment with corporate compliance, commercialization strategy, and product roadmap goals. Define a multi-year roadmap for scalable licensing frameworks supporting hybrid subscription and consumption-based models. Partner with the VP, Product Management – Commercialization Focus, to ensure licensing design is embedded into product strategy from inception, not added post-launch. 2. Process & Tooling Ownership Design, document, and evolve standardized licensing workflows across all product and platform teams. Drive the implementation of internal tools for entitlement tracking, license validation, metering, and audit readiness. Define APIs and integration points between product services and the entitlement management layer to ensure consistent usage tracking. 3. Governance & Compliance Establish and manage executive governance review boards for the introduction or modification of meters, entitlements, or cross-BU roles. Implement control mechanisms and automated checks to ensure audit readiness and regulatory compliance. Partner with Legal and Compliance teams to codify rules and escalation paths for licensing policy deviations. 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with Product, Engineering, Pricing, Finance, and Legal to align licensing constructs with both business models and technical enforcement. Serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for entitlement governance and licensing compliance across the product lifecycle. Collaborate with Engineering to embed compliance hooks into the Now Platform and product services. 5. Enablement & Communication Develop and maintain documentation, templates, and knowledge bases that guide product teams in defining meters, roles, and entitlements. Lead internal enablement programs, including training, playbooks, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for licensing governance. Communicate updates on standards, tooling enhancements, and governance changes across all relevant stakeholders. Responsibilities Summary Govern product licensing standards, metering processes, and entitlement policies across ServiceNow’s product lines. Maintain internal tooling and compliance infrastructure to ensure licensing integrity throughout the software development lifecycle. Institutionalize executive review boards for introducing or modifying meters, roles, and cross-portfolio entitlements. Develop end-to-end licensing processes embedded in each release cycle and ensure consistent adoption across all business units. Partner cross-functionally to integrate governance frameworks into ServiceNow’s AI-native commercialization model. Qualifications 12+ years in enterprise software product management, preferably in SaaS or platform companies with complex entitlement architectures. Proven experience with licensing frameworks, entitlement management, or metering systems. Familiarity with hybrid subscription and consumption-based business models. Strong technical fluency in platform architecture and integration of compliance tooling. Excellent collaboration skills — able to influence without authority across Product, Legal, and Engineering. Analytical, systems-thinking mindset capable of defining company-wide governance models.
