A key focus of this role is ensuring a high level of customer service, fast and accurate issue resolution, and continuous improvement of the team’s skills and capabilities. Rather than directing daily tasks, the IT Manager is expected to grow the team’s technical and customer service skillsets, promote ownership, and help the team evolve as business needs change.

This position is on-site, in-office five days per week and is not eligible for remote work.

Educational Qualification:

Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent proven experience.

Experience:

• Overall 15+ years of experience which includes 5+ years in leading IT support or Service Desk teams within a corporate environment.

• Demonstrated experience balancing hands-on technical work with people management.

• Strong background in PC configuration, troubleshooting, and enterprise IT support.

• Proven ability to deliver high levels of customer service in a fast-paced support environment.

Requirements / Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a team of Service Desk employees in India, providing coaching, mentoring, performance management, and ongoing professional development.

• Ensure the India Service Desk delivers a consistently high level of customer service, with emphasis on first‑time correct resolution and timely issue resolution.

• Act as a working manager, spending approximately 50% of time handling escalations and complex issues while supporting overall ticket flow as needed.

• Own service desk operations and outcomes, including service quality, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction, rather than day‑to‑day task assignment.

• Build strong partnerships with business stakeholders to understand their needs, anticipate issues, and identify technology solutions that enable effective business execution.

• Translate business requirements into practical support processes, tools, or technical improvements in collaboration with other IT teams.

• Promote continuous improvement by developing team skills, encouraging problem‑solving, and evolving support practices as business needs change.

• Provide leadership during incidents or recurring issues by driving root cause analysis and coordinating corrective actions.

• Ensure appropriate documentation, knowledge sharing, and operational standards are maintained to support consistent service delivery.

• Maintain awareness of support technologies, service management trends, and business changes that may impact service desk operations.

Travel

• No regular travel is required.
