Description

Empower AI is seeking a Field Service Manager to lead end-user computing operations for an enterprise IT Customer Support Services program supporting a Department of War agency with approximately 13,000 users at headquarters, regional, field, and training locations across NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and JWICS enclaves. The Manager is accountable for Tier II desk-side and field support, Enterprise Endpoint Infrastructure Management (desktop engineering), enterprise printer management, and training center support, and works hand in hand with the Service Desk Manager, communications, cybersecurity, and asset management leads. The role blends operational leadership with engineering oversight: ensuring endpoints are secure, standardized, and highly automated while users experience fast, confirmed resolution of escalated issues.

• Direct enterprise printer lifecycle management including print server administration, proactive monitoring, consumables, STIG and firmware compliance, relocation, inventory, and vendor/DLA escalation.
• Plan and execute hardware refresh, deployment, and end-of-life programs in coordination with asset and lifecycle management, ensuring inventory accuracy, asset tagging, and disposition through DRMO as directed.
• Serve as the Tier III escalation authority for complex, enterprise-wide endpoint incidents and security events, and lead the desktop organization's participation in Change Management, Problem Management, After-Action Reviews, and Root Cause Analyses.
• Partner with the RMF and cybersecurity teams to provide vulnerability remediation, POA&M artifacts in eMASS, and compliance evidence for the endpoint environment, and ensure all endpoint management solutions meet RMF standards.
• Provide performance data, narrative inputs, and data-driven modernization recommendations (endpoint refresh, automation, GPO enhancements, tooling) for the Customer Support Metrics Dashboard, Monthly Customer Support Activity Report, CX Roadmap, and Digital Twin Evaluation and Implementation Plan, and brief Government stakeholders.
