• Helpdesk Lead: Responsible for overseeing all support tickets that come into the helpdesk, including ensuring good response time and end-user satisfaction. Delegates work and oversee the day-to-day tasks of other helpdesk staff.

Continuous Improvement: In the course of doing the above tasks, look for ways to improve our existing systems and processes to enable our employees to be more productive and to reduce the number of support tickets for recurring issues.
