Support Manager, Information Technology

We are looking for an IT Support Manager who genuinely enjoys the craft of IT and wants to own the day-to-day operations of a growing company.This is not a role for someone who wants to sit above the work. It is also not an entry-level helpdesk position. It is a great fit for someone who is a few years into their career, has built up solid hands-on experience, and is ready to be the person who keeps things running and makes them better.You will work closely with our Senior IT Manager and be the primary operational owner of IT support across the company. That means everything from resolving end-user issues and managing vendors, to configuring a switch or running a cable when it needs to happen. You will also be the person who keeps track of everything — assets, contracts, renewals, licenses, and the things that tend to fall through the cracks when nobody owns them. If you are the kind of person who finds that kind of variety energizing rather than overwhelming, you will fit in well here.Primary Responsibilities/Essential FunctionsThis job description in no way states or implies that these are the only duties to be performed by the teammate occupying this position.Day-to-Day Support - Manage all IT support operations including helpdesk requests, incidents, and escalations - Be the go-to person for end-user hardware, software, and connectivity issues - Supervise and support IT staff, setting the standard for how work gets done - Help onboard new team members from an IT perspective and keep the process smoothInfrastructure and Hands-On Work - Configure and maintain network equipment across our locations (we run Cisco Meraki) - Support Microsoft 365, Windows environments, and endpoint management (MDM) - Run cable, set up access points, and handle physical infrastructure when needed - Maintain and troubleshoot servers, switches, firewalls, and wireless systemsVendor and Contract Management - Maintain a complete register of all IT vendors, contracts, and SaaS subscriptions - Track renewal dates and proactively flag upcoming expirations well in advance - Get competitive quotes before renewing anything significant - Build and maintain relationships with key vendors including our ISP, telecom, and hardware suppliers - Ensure the company is never surprised by an auto-renewal or a contract it did not intend to signAsset and License Management - Keep our asset management system (RefTab) accurate and up to date - Track hardware assignments, warranty status, and refresh schedules - Manage software licenses and ensure we are not over or under-licensed - Maintain visibility into all company-wide SaaS tools, even those owned by other departmentsDocumentation and Reporting - Keep SOPs, network diagrams, and support procedures current and accessible - Submit regular reports on helpdesk performance, open issues, and project status - Maintain a renewal calendar and share relevant updates with leadership and finance - Document decisions, configurations, and vendor interactions so nothing lives only in one person’s headOperational Improvement - Identify recurring issues and fix the root cause, not just the symptom - Proactively surface risks, gaps, and opportunities to the Senior IT Manager - Bring structure to things that currently lack itBachelor’s degree in information technology, computer science, software engineering, or a related fieldProven experience in managing IT infrastructure and servicesExperience with computer networks, network administration, and network installationProficient in computer hardware, cabling installation and support, wireless technology applications and interface, and IT securityProficient in Microsoft Windows software, including server, office, and exchangeSelf-motivated in achieving goals and completing routine tasksExcellent analytical problem-solving skills when faced with new challengesExcellent verbal and written communication skillsEmbody ReturnPro’s company values: Team, Innovation, Partnership, and SustainabilityStrong time management and project management skillsAbility to work independently, multi-task, and deliver quality work in an efficient mannerAbility to manage competing prioritiesAbility to succeed in a team environment #J-18808-Ljbffr ReturnPro
