We are seeking a highly skilled Lead ServiceNow Developer to join our growing ServiceNow Practice. As the technical authority for development, you will play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality solutions for our clients, ensuring best practice standards, and mentoring our development team.

Methods
Methods is an established £100m Digital Transformation company, part of the Alten Group, which over the last 30+ years has provided innovative business and digital technology services. We have over 50 active clients many of which have been working with us for more than 10 years.

Our mission is to improve and safeguard public-facing services. We apply digital thinking to ensure the future of our public services is centred around our citizens.
Our human touch sets us apart from other consultancies, system integrators and software houses - we have a customer-centric value system whereby we focus on delivering what is right for our clients. We passionately support our clients in the success of their projects while working collaboratively to share skill sets and solve problems.
