Job Description
Work That Matters, People Who Care.
What's The Role
Great IT service is about more than resolving tickets. It is about ownership, responsiveness and earning the trust of the people you support.
We’re looking for an IT Service Manager who can take ownership of our service delivery function and raise the bar for the end-user experience. Someone with a great attitude, strong professional presence and a genuine service mindset who is ready to challenge what is not working and make it better.

- Use service trends, metrics and feedback to identify problems and drive improvements.
- Reduce recurring issues through better processes, automation, self-service and knowledge sharing.
- Build strong relationships across Operations, functional teams and IT.
- Support technology changes, new locations, acquisitions, onboarding and other business initiatives.
- Manage key service vendors and hold them accountable for performance.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You’re someone who takes ownership, builds strong relationships and credibility across the business, and gets things done. You understand IT service delivery, but you also know that excellent service comes down to people, communication and follow-through.
You Bring
- 5+ years of progressive experience in IT support, Service Desk operations or IT service delivery.
- 3+ years leading people, a support function or service delivery.
- Strong experience with IT service management, incident management, escalations and continuous improvement.

- Experience managing outsourced service providers and vendor performance.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the professional presence and credibility to influence stakeholders at all levels.
- A demonstrated ability to improve processes, service standards and the end-user experience.
- Experience supporting geographically distributed operations.
- ITIL certification or practical ITIL/ITSM experience.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
- Be part of an industry that's more important than ever!
- Award winning safety culture.
- Supportive team environment with room to grow together.
- Onsite Hybrid work model.
- Employee Referral Program.
