- Track and report on key performance indicators (MTTR, first contact resolution, ticket volume, SLA adherence); partner with department and business leaders to align support operations with broader infrastructure and security initiative.
- Own the IT employee experience across the entire lifecycle-onboarding, offboarding, hardware management, tool consistency, and daily support quality; actively solicit and implement stakeholder feedback.
- Identify high-volume and repetitive support tasks; lead automation and self-service initiatives to reduce manual workload and improve resolution speed.
- Evaluate and implement AI-assisted tools to enhance ticket triage, resolution guidance, and knowledge base quality.
- Develop a maturity roadmap transitioning the team from reactive troubleshooting to proactive and preventative support operations.

- Strong communication skills - must be comfortable working across time zones and with stakeholders at all levels.
