  • Design and implement processes that increase the speed, reliability, and quality of support services for both hardware and software
  • Manage relationships with third-party vendors and service providers to ensure effective and efficient service delivery
  • Establish KPIs, reporting structures, and dashboards to continuously monitor and improve technology service levels

Qualifications

  • 5-10+ years of progressive experience in IT operations leadership
  • Proven success managing and scaling IT teams in dynamic, multi-site environments
  • Deep experience with Help Desk operations, network infrastructure, systems administration, and device lifecycle management
