consistent skills framework that measures OT and ICS technical depth, asset visibility and exposure management expertise, demo and storytelling craft, discovery quality, business value articulation, and AI fluency.  Use those assessments to build individual development plans, identify coverage gaps, recommend staffing and role changes, and inform hiring, bench strength, and succession planning.

a collaborative, high-performance culture across the broader Solution Consulting community.  AI-native leadership  Model AI-native ways of working in account research, discovery preparation, demo and proof-of-value design, proposal support, pipeline inspection, and team coaching.  Set clear expectations that every SC uses AI to improve the quality, speed, and consistency of their work, and measure adoption through practical indicators such as reusable assets created, preparation quality, demo effectiveness, and time saved.  Build and share reusable AI assets, including prompts, agents, skills, demo scripts, and playbooks, that scale OT/CPS expertise across regions and verticals.  Coach SCs to position the ServiceNow AI platform and agentic capabilities credibly with OT, security, and operations buyers, including AI governance and safety in industrial environments.  Stay current on AI developments and bring practical improvements to how the team sells, demonstrates, and delivers value.  Sales support and strategy  Partner with Account Executives, Armis and Veza specialists, and OT sales leadership to qualify, shape, and win complex OT/CPS opportunities.  Provide technical leadership through discovery, demonstrations, proofs of value, RFP responses, and executive presentations.  Develop deep expertise in the OT/CPS portfolio and explain how it connects to ServiceNow ITOM, Security and Risk, workflow capabilities, and Armis OT visibility and security in customer-specific use cases.  Help define go-to-market plays, vertical strategies (energy and utilities, manufacturing, life sciences, oil and gas, transportation), and sales collateral.  Customer engagement  Engage directly with CISOs, OT security leaders, plant and operations leaders, and architects to understand technical requirements, operational constraints, regulatory pressures, and the business outcomes customers need to achieve.  Act as a trusted advisor on OT security, compliance, and risk reduction, including frameworks such as NIS2, NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and CIRCIA.  Conduct customer site visits, workshops, and executive briefings, and deliver demonstrations and proofs of value that connect technical capabilities to risk reduction, operational resilience, and measurable business impact.  Cross-functional collaboration  Provide structured field feedback to Product Management on features, competitive gaps, and market demand.  Work with Marketing and Enablement to develop technical content, case studies, and field-ready tools.  Coordinate with Services, Partners, and Customer
