Day-to-day work involves overseeing integrations, dashboards, and operational reporting in ServiceNow, coordinating with cross-functional teams to investigate and remediate unauthorized changes, and preparing documentation for audits and regulatory exams. It suits a senior ITSM or security operations professional with deep hands-on ServiceNow platform experience.

Why we read it this way (11)
The role is a contract-to-hire (W2) engagement at $70–$80/hr, converting to FTE after the contract period.
Location is listed as hybrid in Cincinnati, OH or fully remote — remote=true is set to reflect the fully remote option.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role centers on operating and governing a ServiceNow-based Unauthorized Change Detection program (platform operations, workflow design, integrations, dashboards) rather than building net-new software, which points to 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) or 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts). 15-1211 is the close runner-up given the strong business/process-analysis and governance emphasis.
Tripwire and mainframe reporting (DB2/SAVER) are listed under requirements but with 'or similar' qualifiers, indicating the specific tools are interchangeable; they are marked preferred because the framing ('Experience with…') is softer than the firm ServiceNow gates and the JD explicitly calls ServiceNow development 'a plus' separately.
JavaScript is listed in the requirements section but framed as 'familiarity' rather than a hard gate, so it is marked preferred.
'ServiceNow development experience is a plus' is explicitly called out as a bonus and is marked preferred.
The 7+ years requirement is stated at the role level (ITSM/Change Enablement/Platform/Security Operations) and is captured in total experience; the 5+ years ServiceNow platform exposure is captured as the years demanded on the ServiceNow skill.
The role involves leading a small cross-functional team and influencing stakeholders, but the JD does not describe formal people-management (hiring, performance reviews, budget ownership), so it is classified as an IC Senior rather than a manager role.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): ServiceNow Change Management, ServiceNow development.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
