Job Summary
We are looking for an experienced L1 Support Manager to lead and manage Level 1 application or service-desk support operations. The ideal candidate should have strong experience in IT service management, incident and request management, SLA governance, team leadership, operational reporting, stakeholder communication, and service improvement.
Responsibilities - Manage the day-to-day operations of the L1 support or service-desk team.
- Lead, mentor, and guide support analysts and team leads to ensure consistent service delivery.
- Oversee incident intake, ticket categorization, prioritization, assignment, troubleshooting, resolution, and closure.
- Ensure incidents and service requests are handled within agreed SLA and operational targets.
- Monitor support queues, ticket backlogs, ageing incidents, reopened tickets, and escalation trends.
- Establish clear escalation criteria and coordinate unresolved issues with L2, L3, infrastructure, development, vendor, and business teams.
- Act as the primary escalation point for high-priority incidents and customer-impacting issues.
- Coordinate major-incident communication, bridge calls, stakeholder updates, and service-restoration activities.
- Ensure L1 analysts follow approved troubleshooting guides, standard operating procedures, and knowledge articles.
- Review ticket quality, resolution notes, categorization accuracy, and adherence to support processes.
- Manage shift rosters, workload distribution, resource allocation, leave planning, and operational coverage.
- Conduct daily operational reviews, shift handovers, backlog reviews, and service-performance meetings.
- Track support metrics and prepare weekly and monthly service reports for stakeholders.
- Identify recurring issues and coordinate problem management and root-cause analysis with relevant technical teams.
- Drive knowledge-management initiatives to improve first-contact resolution and reduce unnecessary escalations.
- Identify opportunities for automation, self-service, chatbot adoption, and process standardization.
- Support change implementations, release activities, outage communication, and post-deployment monitoring.
- Maintain operational documentation, escalation matrices, support calendars, SOPs, knowledge-base articles, and service reports.
- Manage stakeholder expectations and provide timely updates on incidents, risks, service performance, and improvement actions.
- Drive continuous service improvement initiatives to enhance service quality, customer experience, and operational efficiency.
These responsibilities align with an internally surfaced Application Support Lead requirement emphasizing support-team management, ServiceNow queue operations, SLA monitoring, incident/problem/change management, stakeholder communication, reporting, and continuous improvement.
Technical Requirements - 9+ years of overall experience in IT support, application support, production support, service desk, or IT service management.
- Proven experience managing L1 support teams or service-desk operations.
- Strong knowledge of ITSM and ITIL practices.
- Hands-on experience with incident, service request, problem, change, and knowledge management.
- Strong experience in ticket queue management, prioritization, SLA monitoring, and escalation management.
- Experience with ServiceNow, BMC Remedy, Jira Service Management, HPSM, or a similar ITSM platform.
- Good understanding of application-support models and L1/L2/L3 escalation processes.
- Experience handling critical incidents and coordinating with multiple technical and business teams.
- Strong knowledge of service-desk metrics and operational reporting.
- Ability to analyze ticket trends and identify opportunities for service and process improvements.
- Experience managing shift-based or 24/7 support operations.
- Strong leadership, team-management, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong customer orientation and stakeholder-management capabilities.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, business-critical support environment.
