Job Summary:
We are looking to hire a Service Desk Process Analyst Shift Supervisor to provide 24/7 supervisory coverage for our IT Service Desk and Desktop Support teams. These individuals will be accountable for team performance metrics, coaching team members, serve as the primary escalation point during their shift, and lead communications during major incidents.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
The ideal candidate has supervised teams across the full spectrum of end-user IT support, not just one narrow function. They understand how a service desk call can become a desktop dispatch, how a new hire onboarding request flows through provisioning and asset management, and how these handoffs break down without clear communication and process. They've seen work from multiple angles and can coach analysts across all of these functions, not just the one they came from. Calm, Clear Communicator Under Pressure This role will be the voice of IT during major incidents. Supervisors draft and send written and verbal communications to the entire organization in real time during a major incident. Candidates must show they can:1. Translate technical details into clear, jargon-free written updates for both business stakeholders and mass communications to the entire organization 2. Communicate confidently with both technical subject matter experts and executive leadership 3. Stay composed and precise when urgency is high and information is incomplete Developer of People Our team members are capable but have lacked consistent guidance. We don't need someone who monitors dashboards and tells people to work harder. We need someone who works alongside the team and coaches. Candidates must show they can:1. Observe work patterns, identify skill gaps, and provide hands-on coaching and mentoring 2. Listen to challenges and remove obstacles that slow the team down 3. Hold people accountable through support and conversations, not just metrics 4. Invest in growing each analyst's capabilities over time Team Oriented Problem Solver Individual metrics don't move the needle if the team isn't succeeding together. We need supervisors who think beyond their own shift. Candidates must show they can:1. Identify opportunities to optimize how work flows across shifts (e.g., tasks that can be completed overnight when call volumes are low)2. Proactively seek additional responsibilities that benefit the overall operation 3. Share insights and improvements across shifts and support groups rather than working in a silo Thank you,
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
