Meaningful Work and Personal Impact:
Seize your opportunity to make a personal impact as a ServiceNow Engineer - Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) supporting the USCENTCOM Information Technology Services (CITS) Program in support of the USCENTCOM J6 in Tampa, FL. At GDIT, people are our differentiators. As a ServiceNow Engineer - SPM , you will help ensure today is safe and tomorrow is smarter.
The ServiceNow Engineer - SPM is a mid-level technical role responsible for the configuration, implementation, enhancement, and sustainment of the Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) module within a complex enterprise ServiceNow environment. This role requires hands-on experience with SPM/PPM capabilities - including Demand, Project, Resource, and Financial Management - along with solid working knowledge of core ServiceNow platform development. The ideal candidate will bring practical technical skill, sound judgment, and the ability to deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable SPM capabilities that support portfolio visibility and mission decision-making.
This position requires an engineer who is directly involved in day-to-day technical execution of the SPM module - building and refining workflows, forms, and reporting - while coordinating with the broader ServiceNow engineering team on platform standards and integration points.
A core focus of this role is disciplined engineering judgment around customization. The candidate will be expected to evaluate existing and proposed SPM customizations against out-of-box ServiceNow functionality, favoring native configuration where feasible to reduce technical debt and long-term operations and maintenance burden.
