Additional initiatives involve enhancing core services infrastructure, centralizing end-user support functions — including onboarding and legal — into ServiceNow, and evaluating embedded processes for potential absorption or redesign. With approximately 30 concurrent projects underway, the IT Infrastructure Project Manager will leverage PMO methodologies, including Agile and Waterfall, to drive successful outcomes across cross-functional teams, third-party vendors, and executive stakeholders.
