Director, Enterprise IT Support

The Director, Enterprise IT Support is a people-first leadership role responsible for building, leading, and continuously improving a high-performing IT support organization. This role delivers value through team development, operational discipline, and a structured service delivery model — not as a hands-on technical expert. The Director owns the design and execution of the tiered support model (Tier 0–Tier 2) and ensures consistent, high-quality service delivery across a broad enterprise IT environment, operating in close partnership with the IT PMO, GRC, and Security teams.

1. People Leadership & Team Development: Lead, coach, and develop IT support leaders and senior engineers. Establish performance expectations, accountability structures, and career pathways. Build a culture focused on ownership, service quality, and continuous improvement.
2. Service Delivery & Operations: Own and mature the enterprise IT service delivery model including SLAs, escalation, and performance reporting. Ensure consistent execution of incident, request, problem, and change management processes.
3. Tiered Support Model Ownership: Design and continuously improve the Tier 0 (self-service), Tier 1 (service desk), and Tier 2 (technical escalation) model. Increase automation and self-service adoption to reduce ticket volume.
4. Technology Operations Oversight: Provide governance-level leadership across infrastructure, endpoint, identity, ITSM platforms, M365, and business application support. This is a leadership role, not a hands-on technical position.
5. Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with IT PMO for operational readiness; align with GRC for compliance and audit adherence; coordinate with Security for incident response integration; ensure operations align with enterprise IT strategy.
6. Vendor & Financial Management: Manage key vendor relationships and performance outcomes. Own and manage an IT operations budget of approximately $5M. Drive cost optimization and efficient resource utilization.
