Position Summary We are seeking a hands-on Service Desk technical Expert L3/L4 to transform and technically govern unified Service Desk, NOC, SOC coordination, AI/LLM tools support, and service automation. The role will close technical and knowledge-maturity gaps, rebuild customer confidence, establish disciplined operating controls, and develop a high-performing team capable of solving complex issues rather than following scripts or acting as order takers.

Critical Responsibilities Service Recovery, Quality & Customer Confidence  Lead service recovery through root-cause analysis, corrective/preventive actions, named owners, due dates, validation evidence, and customer-visible improvement scorecards.  Review escalations and repeat errors for technical diagnosis, SOP compliance, security response, communication, escalation, and closure quality; eliminate systemic recurrence.  Act as a credible technical solution partner to customer IT teams and ensure offshore problem- resolution maturity is comparable with onsite expectations. Technical Operations & Security  Define architecture, governance, integrations, observability, and operating standards across ServiceNow, Jira, ControlUp, Slack with Gizmo Bot, Zoom, Intune, Jamf MDM, Android/iPhone, UniPrint, VPN, VDI, and supporting ITSM/ITOM services.  Establish mandatory quality gates and maker-checker controls for joiner/mover/leaver workflows, account disablement, privileged access, password incidents, phishing, security alerts, endpoint remediation, and other high-risk actions.  Govern major-incident and SOC integration across Proofpoint, Exchange Online Protection, Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Tenable, Splunk, SentinelOne, Purview, CrowdStrike, and related security platforms; ensure rapid detection, containment, evidence, recovery, and communication. Knowledge, SOP & Automation Discipline  Increase validated knowledge coverage from the current 70% toward at least 95% of repeatable use cases, prioritizing the missing security-sensitive, high-volume, high-impact, and frequently escalated scenarios.  Embed contextual knowledge, mandatory SOP acknowledgement, decision checklists, execution evidence, peer validation, version ownership, and periodic recertification into ticket workflows.  Eliminate manual bypass of approved customer automation; automate repetitive fulfilment, diagnostics, alert response, status communication, and evidence collection using secure API-first workflows.

Critical Responsibilities – Continued AI/LLM Tools Support & Technology Readiness  Own the support model for LeapXpert, Claude Code/Cowork, Zoom, Microsoft Office, Outlook, OneDrive, Windows, Copilot, GitHub, VS Code, SharePoint, Power Platform, Azure, macOS, Adobe, Workday, PeopleSoft, Salesforce, Investran, Snowflake, S&P Capital IQ, DocuSign, approved AI assistants, and connectors.  Ensure advanced support capability for configuration, provisioning, licensing, installation/reinstallation, endpoint/mobile integration, email/session synchronization, permissions, privacy, safety, performance, vendor escalation, and cross-platform root-cause analysis.  Maintain continuous readiness through technology-roadmap reviews, release-impact assessments, hands-on labs, updated playbooks, security drills, and quarterly role-based recertification. Team Capability, Coverage & Collaboration  Define the team structure, experience mix, skills matrix, shift coverage, and escalation depth required for early-morning IST, weekends, US holidays, leave, attrition, and demand surges.  Assess engineers through practical troubleshooting, scenario-based security drills, SOP execution, communication simulations, and ticket-quality reviews; recommend retain, upskill, redeploy, or replace actions based on demonstrated capability.  Require shadowing, reverse shadowing, knowledge validation, quality thresholds, and formal production-readiness sign-off before independent ticket handling.  Establish structured offshore–onsite handovers, daily risk reviews, weekly technical/problem reviews, monthly service-improvement governance, and immediate reporting of personnel or ownership changes.

Required Qualifications  12–15 years across enterprise service operations, infrastructure/platform engineering, observability, security operations integration, and automation, including 4+ years in Organization IT architecture or equivalent technical leadership.  Deep architecture and operational-governance expertise across ServiceNow, Jira, ControlUp, Slack/Gizmo Bot, Zoom, Intune, Jamf, mobile-device support, UniPrint, VPN, VDI, ITSM/ITOM, endpoint, identity, monitoring, and major incidents.  Strong application and security-operations expertise across the stated Microsoft/Azure, AI/developer, collaboration, enterprise-business and Adobe portfolio, plus Proofpoint, Exchange Online Protection, Entra ID, Defender, Sentinel, Tenable, Splunk, SentinelOne, Purview, and CrowdStrike.  Proven success rebuilding a technically weak support function through skills assessment, team transition, readiness certification, coaching, quality governance, and customer-confidence recovery.  Strong automation/integration capability using ServiceNow or equivalent, Power Automate/Logic Apps, Ansible/SOAR/RPA, REST APIs, PowerShell/Python, Git, CI/CD, and secure engineering practices.  Excellent customer communication, structured problem-solving, executive reporting, stakeholder influence, and technical mentoring. ITIL 4, cloud, security, ServiceNow, SRE, or architecture certification is preferred.

Critical Success Measures  ≥95% validated knowledge coverage for repeatable use cases and measurable SOP/article adherence.  Zero unauthorized bypass of approved automation and zero unapproved privileged or security- sensitive actions.  Material reduction in repeat errors, customer escalations, reopen rates, alert noise, and mean time to restore/contain.  Improved first-contact resolution, right-first-time quality, SLA/SLO attainment, CSAT, self-service adoption, and verified automation savings.  100% production-readiness certification and timely security/technology recertification for independently operating engineers.  Reliable US-window, weekend and holiday coverage with complete handovers and no unreported ownership transitions.
