Role Overview
The ServiceNow Solution Architect – HR Service Delivery (HRSD) leads and directs the end-to-end execution of ServiceNow HRSD implementations. You will act as the bridge between HR business stakeholders and technical delivery teams — translating workforce service requirements into scalable, governed platform solutions. You will provide mentorship and technical leadership to Cognizant and client resources, own architectural deliverables, and champion best practices across platform design, integration, development standards, and HRSD domain expertise.
In addition to architecture leadership, you will take a hands-on role in advanced development, peer reviews, work-effort estimation, and technical governance — ensuring high-quality outcomes across the program lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
Solution Architecture & Design

• Define and enforce platform governance, design standards, coding conventions, and development best practices for HRSD implementations.
• Lead requirements workshops and design sessions, consulting on ServiceNow capabilities and HRSD standard processes to shape solutions aligned to client objectives.
• Ensure solutions fit within the broader enterprise architecture — addressing technical, business, user, and security perspectives.

Technical Leadership & Development
• Configure and implement ServiceNow Core HR applications including Employee Service Centre, HR Services, HR Catalogue, Record Producers, Assignment Rules, and HR Service Portal branding.

• Design and implement ServiceNow integrations with HCM systems (e.g. SAP SuccessFactors, Workday) using REST/SOAP APIs, Integration Hub, and MID Servers.
• Review solution designs, configurations, and customisations for quality, scalability, and upgrade-compatibility.
Stakeholder Engagement & Governance
• Facilitate communication between HR process owners, business stakeholders, and C-Suite — translating technical concepts into accessible language for all audiences.
• Provide top-level technology architecture consultancy, bringing thought leadership and innovative platform solutions to clients.
• Advise on frameworks, platform applications, and technical stacks that best address business problems, including risk-versus-value assessments for third-party integrations.

Team Development & Mentoring
• Lead, educate, mentor, and develop junior and mid-level Cognizant developers assigned to HRSD projects.
• Provide peer review, technical guidance, and development oversight to ensure consistent quality across all deliverables.
• Contribute to capability development within the ServiceNow practice, supporting pre-sales activities, design tools, and delivery frameworks.
