  • Own Digital Employee Experience (DEX) telemetry and proactive, self-healing remediation.
  • Govern the AI support copilot and first-line AI self-service initiatives.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of approximately 24 support professionals.
  • Drive key projects, including AI service desk implementation, passwordless recovery, and zero-touch JML automation.

Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s degree in MIS, Computer Science, IT, or a related field, or a minimum of 7 years in IT support.

Experience:

  • 5 years leading a service desk or end-user-computing team in an organization of comparable scale.
  • Deep experience with ITSM platforms (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira Service Management) and ITIL v4 service-operation practices.
  • Hands-on experience with endpoint management (Intune, SCCM/Configuration Manager, or Jamf) and MDM.
  • Experience with AI adoption, usage, and technical implementation within a service desk environment to increase efficiency.
  • Experience running a knowledge base and self-service program (e.g., Knowledge-Centered Service).
  • Proven experience automating fulfillment and onboarding (JML) workflows.
  • People-leadership experience, including hiring, coaching, scheduling, and performance management.

Skills:

  • ITIL v4 Foundation certification is required.
  • Ability to translate complex technology issues for a wide range of audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Digital Employee Experience (DEX) tooling (e.g., Nexthink, 1E) and self-healing remediation.
