Full Job Description

Team Lead, IT Helpdesk

Based in the Columbus, OH area - Onsite with scheduled regional travel

Reports to: IT Director

Position Summary

The Team Lead for IT Break/Fix Support leads day-to-day break/fix operations for the Helpdesk team across our Ohio, Michigan, and Florida locations. This is a working lead role: you will own the escalation queue from Tier 1 and Tier 2 technicians, manage vendor relationships on behalf of the business, and continuously evaluate and improve the tools and workflows the team relies on, while remaining hands-on with onsite and remote support.

This position reports directly to the IT Director and will shadow the IT Director during onboarding to get up to speed on our environment, locations, vendors, and processes before taking full ownership of the team.

You will support an interconnected, multi-location environment of 1400+ users and 1000+ workstations, with a priority focus on onsite work for your assigned region and a scheduled travel cadence to supported sites. The role suits a leader ready to set the standard for service quality and drive process maturity across the support organization.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Escalation

Serve as the primary escalation point for break/fix issues raised by Tier 1 and Tier 2 technicians, taking ownership through to resolution.

Provide technical direction, coaching, and knowledge sharing to help the team resolve issues faster and at the appropriate tier.

Coordinate team coverage and ticket assignment across Ohio, Michigan, and Florida to keep service consistent across locations.

Monitor the queue for aging, high-impact, and at-risk tickets and intervene before they breach service expectations.

Vendor Management

Manage relationships with vendors and vendor-supported services on behalf of locations, serving as the primary point of contact for support, escalations, and coordination.

Open, track, and drive vendor cases to resolution and hold vendors accountable to agreed service levels and timelines.

Coordinate vendor onsite visits, maintenance windows, and changes, and keep stakeholders informed of status and impact.

Process Evaluation & Improvement

Evaluate existing tools and workflows, identify gaps and bottlenecks, and recommend practical improvements that raise efficiency and service quality.

Develop and maintain documentation, runbooks, and knowledgebase articles so fixes are repeatable.

Track recurring issues and partner with the broader IT team on root-cause fixes that reduce ticket volume over time.

Hands-On Support & Operations

Provide troubleshooting and technical support across inbound phone, email, in-person, and remote channels, scheduling onsite support where needed.

Deliver onsite support for assigned locations, with travel to other sites on a scheduled cadence.

User management: account setup, updates, and terminations.

Hardware management: setup, deployment, and decommission of workstations and devices.

IT Asset Management.

Communicate work status clearly to managers and end users by phone, email, and in person.

Schedule

Monday through Friday, 8-hour day.

Schedule will be coordinated with the team to ensure IT coverage across the 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM window.

Subject to change based on weekend business hours and workload.

Compensation & Travel

Experience-based Salary Offering, beginning at $65,000 annually

$500 per month vehicle allowance to cover travel between Ohio locations.

Company-paid travel costs for out-of-state locations (Michigan and Florida).

Environment & Growth

You will gain leadership experience and deepen your technical skills in an interconnected, multi-location environment, including:

Primarily a Windows 10/11 desktop environment, with iOS devices used for certain services.

Vendor management for vendor-supported services on behalf of locations.

Inventory management and helpdesk triage.

Remote support systems.

Microsoft 365 services such as Entra ID and Intune.

Mitel phone system (on premises).

Cisco, Meraki, Juniper Infrastructure.

SD-WAN such as CATO and VELO.

A variety of software troubleshooting.

Opportunity to attend networking events and company meetings.
