• Collaborate with IT, Business, application, infrastructure, monitoring, and support teams to understand requirements, onboard monitoring capabilities, and ensure EVM solutions align with organizational goals and deliver operational value.
• Analyze, develop, and continuously improve event and alert management processes and rules to enhance system reliability, improve alert quality, reduce noise, and ensure actionable alerts reach the appropriate support teams.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues across the monitoring-to-event-to-alert-to-incident lifecycle, supporting timely identification and resolution of Event Management and integration issues.
• Provide Event Management subject matter expertise and technical guidance to team members and stakeholders, promoting standards, best practices, and consistent execution.
• Drive automation, standardization, governance, and continuous improvement across Event Management integrations, processes, suppression controls, and operational workflows.
• Support the planning and delivery of EVM projects and initiatives, including requirements analysis, solution design, documentation, testing, production implementation, and post-implementation validation .

• Experience integrating enterprise monitoring platforms such as Grafana, Splunk, Dynatrace, SolarWinds, AWS monitoring services, or similar tools with ServiceNow.
• Working knowledge of CMDB and Configuration Items (CIs), including CI identification, lookup/matching logic, and the role CMDB data plays in event processing and routing.
• Ability to analyze new event sources and event types, validate field mappings, normalize incoming data, and translate monitoring requirements into Event Management rules.
• Experience designing and maintaining event correlation, deduplication, filtering, and suppression logic to improve alert quality and reduce operational noise.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across monitoring integrations, event processing, alert creation, routing, and downstream incident workflows.
• Experience with REST APIs, JSON, scripting, and automation, with ServiceNow JavaScript and Python knowledge being beneficial.
• Understanding of ITIL / ITSM operational processes, particularly Incident, Change, Problem, and Configuration Management.
