## About the Role

Three or more years in an MSP or IT service desk environment, including at least two years leading, supervising or managing a team.

 - Direct experience with technician coaching, workload coordination and client escalations.
 - Hands-on ownership of SLAs, service desk reporting, and CSAT or comparable customer feedback processes.

## Description

Coach technicians, set clear expectations, hold regular development conversations and performance reviews, and support hiring, onboarding and training.

 - Plan staffing and coverage, balance workloads, and route incoming tickets according to urgency, technician skills and availability. Reassign work as priorities change and coordinate onsite visits and remote support sessions.
 - Stay close to queues and escalations, provide dispatch coverage when needed, and keep clients and technical teams informed during urgent or complex issues.
 - Use service data to improve performance. Measures include response and resolution times, first-contact resolution, aging tickets, backlog and reopened issues. Investigate missed service levels and follow through on corrective actions.
 - Own the customer feedback loop, including CSAT surveys, follow-up on concerns and improvements informed by recurring feedback. Participate in client reviews when needed.
 - Work with project, network and security teams on handoffs. Improve knowledge articles, runbooks, ticket documentation, categorization, time recording and communication standards.
 - Identify useful automation and PSA/RMM improvements, and give leadership clear weekly, monthly and quarterly service reports.

Benefits and work expectations
The position is based in Brentwood, Tennessee, with hybrid options. The number and scheduling of remote days remain to be confirmed. Occasional after-hours or on-call escalation coverage is part of the role. This is a full-time, exempt position in an active service desk environment.
