Ag Source Jobs (NOW HIRING)

OVERVIEW

iTech AG is seeking an IRM Practice Lead - ServiceNow Architect (Integrated Risk Management) to lead the solution architecture for a federal customer's cyber risk and Continuous Authorization and Monitoring (CAM) program. This is a senior, architect-level role responsible for owning the end-to-end IRM solution design on the ServiceNow platform and the integration architecture that connects it across multiple ServiceNow products - IRM/CAM, Policy and Compliance Management, Risk Management, Flow Designer and Workflow Studio, IntegrationHub, Service Portal/UI Builder, Virtual Agent, and AI/Now Assist.

The ideal candidate is a true ServiceNow architect who has implemented IRM end-to-end, from control library and authorization boundary design through SSP management, POA&M and issue remediation, control testing, risk registers, dashboards, and data migration, and can direct developers to deliver it. They bring proven experience architecting cross-product ServiceNow solutions and enterprise integrations in FISMA/FedRAMP-governed environments. This role owns the IRM Technical Solutions, defines integration and security patterns, and collaborates with the iTech Solution SMEs, customers, and iTech Certified Master Architects.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the end-to-end solution architecture for the ServiceNow IRM/CAM solution, including solution design, data model, control hierarchy, and the phased roadmap across modules
• Architect and lead the implementation of ServiceNow IRM capabilities across the solution, including:
• Continuous Authorization and Monitoring (CAM)
• System Security Plans (SSPs) and Authorization Boundaries
• Control Testing, Assessment, and Continuous Monitoring
• Issue, Deficiency, and POA&M Management
• Cyber Risk Register and Risk Assessments
• Common and Inherited Controls
• Policy and Compliance Management (authority documents, policies, and control attestations)
• Audit Management and auditor evidence workflows
• Third-Party / Vendor Risk Management
• Business Continuity Management and contingency planning (CP control family)
• Dashboards, Reporting, and Stakeholder Visibility
• Author and maintain the Technical Solution - architecture diagrams, data model, control hierarchy, integration patterns, and security model - and drive architecture decisions and approvals each sprint
• Configure IRM Continuous Authorization and Monitoring (CAM) for SSPs, POA&Ms, control testing, risk assessments, and control inheritance
• Build automated issue and deficiency workflows, including assignment, notifications, tracking, review, and approval
• Configure collaborative workflows to replace email-based processes across multiple security and technical teams
• Design support for multiple authorization boundaries and SSPs, including GSS, ICS, and subsystem relationships
• Configure common controls and inherited controls so control relationships cascade appropriately across parent systems and subsystems
• Implement a cyber risk register and the workflows for creating, reviewing, and approving risk assessments
• Build configurable dashboards and reports for issues, remediation status, SSP and control status, risks, and approvals that end users can adjust without recoding
• Configure the annual SSP update and approval process, including auditor review and sign-off requirements
• Ensure the control library supports the required NIST control and enhancement granularity - potentially down to examples such as AC-2(1)(b) - and design a documented workaround if native depth is insufficient
• Plan and execute the IRM data migration effort, including:
• Migration of approximately 10-14 SSPs, using OSCAL where feasible
• An alternate JSON/import-map transformation approach where OSCAL is not viable
• A practical manual, system-by-system configuration fallback if automation is not possible
• Validation of migrated control, POA&M, and boundary data against source systems
• Define and govern the integration architecture between ServiceNow IRM and external systems, including authoritative control and compliance data sources, customer SSO, ITSM/ticketing, and enterprise reporting or data warehouse platforms
• Identify how digital approvals and signatures will be handled on the current platform, including an interim workflow if native signature capability is unavailable
• Establish development standards and hands-on build the most complex components - custom applications, workflows, business rules, UI policies, integrations, and Flow Designer automations
• Partner with iTech AG Master Architects and the Solution SME on cross-product architecture and technical governance
• Serve as a contributing member of the iTech AG ServiceNow Center of Excellence (CoE), sharing reusable patterns, standards, and lessons learned across programs
• Act as the organization-wide leader for the IRM product area - advising other programs and pursuits, informing the IRM capability roadmap, and supporting proposal and solutioning efforts beyond this project
• Lead the approximately four-week discovery with security stakeholders to validate processes, data sources, control hierarchy, and migration assumptions
• Participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, demos, and retrospectives, and contribute to Technical Solution Document (TSD) updates each sprint
• Lead code and design reviews, mentor developers, and enforce platform best practices and technical governance
• Support platform upgrades, patching, and performance optimization activities, and resolve IRM defects, workflow issues, and production support requests
• Ensure configurations and customizations align with federal security, compliance (e.g., NIST 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP), accessibility, and data governance requirements
• Contribute to technical documentation, knowledge transfer, operational readiness, and end-user adoption efforts
• Other duties as assigned
