The Role

We are seeking an experienced Service Desk Manager to lead our IT support function and deliver a high-quality support experience for employees across the organization.

This role works closely with IT leadership and cross-functional teams to maintain a reliable, responsive, and user-focused support environment.

Manage, coach, and develop a team of Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts — including hiring, scheduling, performance reviews, career development, and accountability to team KPIs (CSAT, MTTR, first-contact resolution, SLA compliance). Build and maintain a structured IT knowledge base, championing a shift-left strategy to enable end-user self-service. Oversee the full end user hardware lifecycle — procurement, deployment, maintenance, and retirement — ensuring all managed devices meet endpoint compliance requirements in partnership with the Security team. Own joiner/mover/leaver workflows, ensuring timely device provisioning, account setup, and access revocation in coordination with HR and IT. Own and optimize the ITSM platform configuration, including automation, routing rules, and configuration change management, and establish team guidelines for responsible AI/LLM use.

5+ years of IT support or service desk experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory role Strong understanding of IT service management principles, with hands-on experience in tools such as Jira Service Management, Freshservice, ServiceNow, or Zendesk Strong knowledge of end-user computing, including hardware support, identity and access management, common SaaS applications, and troubleshooting practices Demonstrated experience owning SLAs and using metrics to manage performance and improve service quality Proven track record building or significantly improving a knowledge base, with a focus on self-service and shift-left support Experience managing or participating in an on-call rotation for high-priority incidents Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

What Will Set You Apart

ITIL Foundation certification (v3 or v4) Scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Python) and familiarity with IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible) and Git-based workflows applied to IT ops Experience in a high-growth or multi-site environment Experience with endpoint management platforms (Intune, JAMF, or similar), including Microsoft 365 and Okta Familiarity with CMMC, SOC 2, or other compliance frameworks that affect IT operations Hands-on experience using AI or LLM tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT) to improve personal or team productivity in an IT context Experience supporting factory or warehouse environments, including ruggedized devices, shared workstations, or OT/industrial equipment, with an understanding of strict change control requirements around production-floor systems
