Reporting and structure
- This role serves as a leadership-team member, which includes participation in leadership meetings and company planning.
- Direct reports: Service Desk Manager (oversees triage, helpdesk, and field techs) and Project Delivery Manager (oversees project team and TAM).
- Cross-functional partnership: Customer Success (quoting, renewals, contracts, vCIO forecasting) and the leadership team.
Service responsiveness standards (baseline)
Standard tickets:
- Assigned with client notification within 30 minutes (automation assists).
- Meaningfully touched within 4 business hours (even if it is scheduling or clarifying information).
- Target resolution: same day / within 24 hours whenever reasonably possible.
Critical tickets:
- Assigned within 10 minutes.
- Touched within 30 minutes.
- Target resolution: within 4 hours, barring external constraints.
Communication cadence is non-negotiable. Even when progress is blocked by vendors or dependencies, the client receives clear updates: what happened, what we are doing next, what is blocking, and when they will hear from us again.
Responsibilities
- Own service delivery performance through scorecards, KPIs, meeting rhythm, and accountability.
- Establish and enforce escalation paths, with you as the final internal stop before leadership involvement.
- Provide technical guidance when teams are stuck; drive root-cause thinking and repeat-issue elimination.
- Maintain and evolve standards across client environments (identity, endpoint, security, backup, networking fundamentals).
- Own tool governance and adoption across PSA/RMM/documentation/security/backup systems.
- Improve onboarding efficiency and consistency through process, ownership, and documentation quality.
- Build team capability through coaching, training cadence, and performance management.
- Partner with Sales/Marketing and Customer Success as needed to support growth and client outcomes.
Required experience
- 7+ years in an MSP environment (managed services required; internal IT only is not a fit).
- 3+ years leading service delivery (service desk manager, operations manager, service delivery manager, or director level).
- Proven ability to run accountability systems: KPIs, standards enforcement, and performance conversations.
- Strong troubleshooting mind and technical credibility across Microsoft 365, identity, endpoint/security concepts, backup/BCDR, and core networking fundamentals.
Strongly preferred
- EOS experience (L10s, scorecards, Rocks).
- History of improving communication cadence and SLA behavior across a service organization.
- Experience leading teams supporting thousands of endpoints and hundreds of clients.
Physical Requirements and Working Conditions:
- Office environment will vary depending upon client and may mean a professional office building or a warehouse/construction area
- Up to 25% local travel to client sites
- While performing the duties of this job, repetitive use of hands or arms required for typing and administrative tasks.
- Ability to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 lbs as required to perform essential job duties.

- Ability to sit for extended periods and perform desk‑based work, including computer use.
- Ability to use hands and fingers to perform tasks requiring manual dexterity, such as typing, handling tools, or operating equipment.
- Ability to communicate effectively, operate in a fast-paced, sometimes stressful environment, and observe details necessary to perform essential job functions.
- Full time 40+ Hours/week; Monday-Friday. After-hours involvement is occasional and typically limited to leadership guidance when teams have exhausted options. This is not a rotating on-call role.
How to apply
Send a resume and a short note describing your MSP leadership experience, the size of environments you have led, and an example of how you improved service performance through accountability and communication.
