  • Implement new technologies or processes to streamline issue resolution, enhance user experience, and optimize resource allocation.
  • Lead initiatives to improve first-call resolution rates, reduce response times, and improve overall helpdesk satisfaction.
  • Customer Satisfaction & Support :

  • Ensure that the helpdesk team delivers high-quality service to end-users by tracking and analyzing customer satisfaction metrics and implementing corrective actions when necessary.
  • Collaborate with customer-facing teams (HR, Marketing, Sales, etc.) to understand evolving needs and ensure the helpdesk can support those requirements.
  • Create and maintain detailed documentation and knowledge bases for common issues, processes, and resolutions.
  • Risk Management & Issue Resolution :

  • Identify potential project risks and take appropriate action to mitigate these risks.
  • Serve as a point of escalation for complex or critical issues, working with the IT team and vendors to resolve them quickly.
  • Maintain clear communication with stakeholders regarding project timelines, roadblocks, and adjustments
  • Reporting & Analysis :

  • Provide regular status reports to senior leadership on project progress, helpdesk performance, and areas of improvement.
  • Analyze helpdesk performance data to identify trends, improve decision-making, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Budget & Resource Management :
