• • Onboarding & Projects: Lead end-to-end client onboarding and project delivery — from contract execution through go-live and into steady-state managed operations.
• • Technical Experience: Manage Windows Server environments, administer Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, Entra ID), leverage Kaseya for monitoring and automation, and ensure endpoint security, patching, and backup compliance.
• • People Leadership: Manage, mentor, and develop service desk teams — setting clear objectives, running 1:1s, and building a high-performance culture.
• • Reporting & CSI: Define and track all delivery KPIs (FCR, MTTR, SLA %, CSAT, uptime); produce accurate weekly and monthly reports for client and CEO-level review.
• • Tools & Governance: Ensure disciplined use of ACD, ITSM ticketing, and knowledge systems; champion self-service and automation to reduce ticket volume and improve efficiency.
• • RFPs & Solutioning: Support RFP responses and solution design as the ITO delivery SME — contributing scope, methodology, staffing models, and cost inputs alongside Sales.
• • Revenue Growth: Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within your client portfolio — growing Pathway wallet share through a trusted-advisor approach aligned to client business goals.
