Job Overview:

The Manager, End User Support leads the organization’s end‑to‑end user support functions and Support Engineering to deliver a consistent, high‑quality support experience across the enterprise.

This role is accountable for service delivery, people leadership, and operational execution across a multi‑tier, geographically distributed support model. The position balances customer experience, operational discipline, and team development to ensure technology issues are resolved efficiently while minimizing business disruption. The ideal candidate understands technology as an enabler of business outcomes and can coach a team to deliver clear, empathetic, and effective support to a diverse user base.

While the organization maintains a well‑defined enterprise roadmap and experienced leadership at all levels, this role focuses on execution, adoption, and service continuity within End User Support.

Job Responsibilities:

• Lead and oversee the End User Support organization across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 teams

• Provide people leadership and performance oversight for assigned support staff
• Support onboarding, coaching, and ongoing skill development across support tiers
• Ensure teams are trained on current tools, workflows, and support processes appropriate to their role
• Educate and enable Tier 1 teams as new knowledge base articles and standard operating procedures are introduced, supporting the expansion of Tier 1 responsibilities
• Validate that documentation and knowledge articles are accurate, usable, and consistently applied
• Lead End User Support adoption of the ServiceNow platform while maintaining service quality and customer satisfaction
• Represent support operations during rollout activities, providing front‑line workflow and user experience input
• Translate enterprise‑level plans into clear, tier‑specific operational expectations
• Identify operational risks, adoption challenges, or process gaps related to new tools and workflows and escalate feedback appropriately
• Develop operational readiness plans aligned to rollout milestones, including queue structures, escalation paths, and transitional procedures
• Coordinate support‑tier participation in testing, pilots, and phased rollouts
• Ensure teams are prepared for go‑live events and periods of change
• Monitor service trends, customer feedback, and adoption challenges
• Track performance metrics (responsiveness, resolution quality, documentation standards, customer experience) and use data to guide coaching and continuous improvement
• Provide leadership with actionable insights into end‑user support performance and operational risks
