IT Concepts, Inc. (ITC) is seeking an experienced
ServiceNow Architect to lead and support the development of HRSD-related functions to support our VA End-user Business Operations contract. The ideal candidate will bring deep experience in IT management with expertise in the ServiceNow platform. This role requires exceptional communication, strategic thinking, and lasting relationships with internal and external stakeholders. The VA TXP ServiceNow Architect will oversee the architecture and design of the TXP program in ServiceNow HRSD.
The Human Resources Line of Business (HR LOB) program is an exciting opportunity to assist VA, GSA, and its customers in transforming how they deliver HR services.

IBM has migrated VA, GSA, and GSA's 32 external customers to its HR LOB solution, including both HR and time and attendance (T&A) systems. The solution is built on the Oracle PeopleSoft platform and continues expanding its footprint with new modules and federal agencies.
The Talent Experience Platform (TXP) is an IBM solution under the VA's HR LOB program built with ServiceNow HRSD and IBM AI optimizers that provides an experience layer that augments and enhances HR Smart and other VA HR systems while also deploying case management and knowledge management features to provide a more personalized experience for employees and managers.
