Develop and maintain IT support policies, procedures and documentation. Help create a culture where accountability, ownership, collaboration and continuous improvement are part of everyday operations. What We're Looking For Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience. 5+ years leading IT support, help desk or IT service delivery teams. Demonstrated success coaching, mentoring and developing technical professionals. Strong understanding of IT service management principles and end-user support operations. Experience improving support processes, workflows and service delivery. Familiarity with IT asset management, hardware lifecycle planning and workplace technologies. Experience evaluating or implementing automation, AI-enabled support tools or modern service management platforms is highly desirable. Excellent communication skills with the ability to build relationships across technical and non-technical teams. Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. A collaborative leadership style with a passion for developing people rather than simply managing tasks. Why This Opportunity? This organization is known for investing in its people and promoting a collaborative, team-oriented culture where leaders are empowered to make meaningful improvements. You'll have the opportunity to shape the future of IT support by developing an engaged team, modernizing service delivery and introducing innovative technologies that enhance the employee experience.
