About the IT Service Desk Manager
*Hybrid - 3-4 days/week
Are you a seasoned IT support leader ready to take ownership of an enterprise Service Desk operation? This is a high-visibility opportunity to shape the end-user support experience at a well-established organization with a strong track record of investing in its people and promoting from within.
What You'll Own:
Team Leadership & Development Build a high-performing Service Desk team through hands-on coaching, targeted performance management, and proactive identification of training opportunities driven by real escalation data.
Day-to-Day Operations Oversee multi-channel support delivery — including in-person, phone, email, chat, and ticketing systems — ensuring SLAs are consistently met and end users receive exceptional service.
Metrics & Reporting Own Service Desk KPIs: first-call resolution rates, ticket aging, CSAT scores, and operational efficiency. You'll deliver regular dashboard updates to IT leadership and use the data to tell a story of continuous improvement.
Escalation Management & Process Improvement Take charge of Tier 2 and Tier 3 escalations, identify incident patterns, and close the loop by improving processes, procedures, and knowledgebase content to reduce repeat issues.
Knowledgebase & Documentation Champion a living, practical knowledgebase that empowers analysts to resolve issues at first contact — keeping documentation current, comprehensive, and actually useful.
Cross-Functional Partnership Bridge the gap between the Service Desk and the broader IT organization, building strong working relationships across all technical domains and representing the team in company-wide initiatives.
Quality & Continuous Improvement Drive QA adherence, refine support processes, and consistently elevate the customer experience for both technical and non-technical users.
