  • Support evolving team structures and contribute to strategic planning.

Your Skills and Experience:

  • Proven experience in a Managed Service Provider (MSP) running a Service Desk
  • Strong people management skills with the ability to build and maintain a positive team culture.
  • Comfortable with data analytics and using KPIs to drive performance improvements and ensure customer satisfaction.
  • Ability to balance strategic oversight with hands-on team guidance without being a primary technician.
  • Experience managing SLAs, customer satisfaction metrics, and ticket flow.
  • Energetic and personable, with the ability to engage a vibrant team.
  • A problem-solver adept at handling escalations and fostering open communication.

What We Offer:

  • A supportive and fun team culture with a focus on trust and camaraderie.
  • Mentorship during your initial period for a seamless transition.
  • Opportunity to lead a key technical support function with scope for input into team and process improvements.
