Service Desk technical Expert L3/L4 - Unified Operations

Job Summary

We are seeking a hands-on Service Desk technical Expert L3/L4 to transform and technically govern unified Service Desk, NOC, SOC coordination, AI/LLM tools support, and service automation. The role will close technical and knowledge-maturity gaps, rebuild customer confidence, establish disciplined operating controls, and develop a high-performing team capable of solving complex issues rather than following scripts or acting as order takers.

Responsibilities

Service Recovery, Quality Customer Confidence

• Lead service recovery through root-cause analysis, corrective/preventive actions, named owners, due dates, validation evidence, and customer-visible improvement scorecards.
• Review escalations and repeat errors for technical diagnosis, SOP compliance, security response, communication, escalation, and closure quality; eliminate systemic recurrence.
• Act as a credible technical solution partner to customer IT teams and ensure offshore problem-resolution maturity is comparable with onsite expectations.

Technical Operations Security

• Define architecture, governance, integrations, observability, and operating standards across ServiceNow, Jira, ControlUp, Slack with Gizmo Bot, Zoom, Intune, Jamf MDM, Android/iPhone, UniPrint, VPN, VDI, and supporting ITSM/ITOM services.
• Establish mandatory quality gates and maker-checker controls for joiner/mover/leaver workflows, account disablement, privileged access, password incidents, phishing, security alerts, endpoint remediation, and other high-risk actions.
• Govern major-incident and SOC integration across Proofpoint, Exchange Online Protection, Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Tenable, Splunk, SentinelOne, Purview, CrowdStrike, and related security platforms; ensure rapid detection, containment, evidence, recovery, and communication.

Knowledge, SOP Automation Discipline

• Increase validated knowledge coverage from the current 70% toward at least 95% of repeatable use cases, prioritizing the missing security-sensitive, high-volume, high-impact, and frequently escalated scenarios.
• Embed contextual knowledge, mandatory SOP acknowledgement, decision checklists, execution evidence, peer validation, version ownership, and periodic recertification into ticket workflows.
• Eliminate manual bypass of approved customer automation; automate repetitive fulfilment, diagnostics, alert response, status communication, and evidence collection using secure API-first workflows.

Critical Responsibilities - Continued

• Ensure advanced support capability for configuration, provisioning, licensing, installation/reinstallation, endpoint/mobile integration, email/session synchronization, permissions, privacy, safety, performance, vendor escalation, and cross-platform root-cause analysis.
• Maintain continuous readiness through technology-roadmap reviews, release-impact assessments, hands-on labs, updated playbooks, security drills, and quarterly role-based recertification.

Team Capability, Coverage Collaboration

• Define the team structure, experience mix, skills matrix, shift coverage, and escalation depth required for early-morning IST, weekends, US holidays, leave, attrition, and demand surges.
• Assess engineers through practical troubleshooting, scenario-based security drills, SOP execution, communication simulations, and ticket-quality reviews; recommend retain, upskill, redeploy, or replace actions based on demonstrated capability.
• Require shadowing, reverse shadowing, knowledge validation, quality thresholds, and formal production-readiness sign-off before independent ticket handling.
• Establish structured offshore-onsite handovers, daily risk reviews, weekly technical/problem reviews, monthly service-improvement governance, and immediate reporting of personnel or ownership changes.
