  • Track customer satisfaction, analyze trends, and recommend technical, procedural, staffing, training, knowledge, and ServiceNow automation improvements.
  • Produce operational reports and dashboards, and provide inputs to Monthly Status Reports and Daily System Status Reports.
  • Maintain service-desk procedures, escalation matrices, staffing plans, and templates, and mentor service-desk personnel.

Education & Experience

  • Experience supporting incident, request, problem, knowledge, or service-level management, and analyzing operational data to identify trends.
  • Strong leadership, written and verbal communication, and customer-service skills, including communication during priority incidents.
  • Experience leading a multi-tier federal or DoD service desk in a 24/7/365 environment supporting geographically dispersed users.
  • Experience managing VIP or executive-level technical support.
  • Experience developing ServiceNow reports, dashboards, workflows, or queue-management views.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
