TL;DR · Deskside Support Lead

The Deskside Support Lead manages a team of technical support specialists to deliver deskside services for a federal customer. This leadership role involves overseeing daily operations, managing ticket lifecycles within an IT service management platform, and ensuring timely resolution of end-user issues. The individual will mentor technicians, manage workload distribution, and provide guidance on complex hardware, software, and network problems that exceed Tier II capabilities. Key responsibilities include tracking SLA performance metrics, auditing ticket records for compliance, and creating standard operating procedures to improve service delivery. The role requires proficiency in ITIL processes, incident management, escalation control, and project management. Candidates must possess experience with ITSM systems and knowledge of key learning indicators. This position addresses the critical need for high-quality technical support and seamless incident resolution within a federal government environment.

What you'll do

  • Manage the day-to-day operations and workflow execution of deskside support services for a federal customer.
  • Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of incidents, including triage, prioritization, escalation, and resolution.
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for complex hardware, software, and network issues that Tier II technicians cannot resolve.
  • Supervise, mentor, and provide technical guidance to IT support technicians while managing their daily workloads.
  • Track and report SLA performance metrics, ticket trends, and service outcomes to leadership.
  • Audit ticket records and queue activity to ensure documentation accuracy and compliance with quality standards.
  • Create and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) and knowledge base articles for the technical team.
  • Identify recurring issues and implement corrective actions or process improvements to reduce repeat incidents.

What we're looking for

  • US citizenship is required.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain NRC Public Trust (up to Q clearance if required).
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or 4 years of experience in lieu of degree.
  • Minimum 4 years of IT support experience in an enterprise service desk or desktop support environment.
  • Minimum 2 years of leadership or supervisory experience managing service desk technicians.
  • Experience applying ITIL-based incident management, escalation control, and KLI/SLA-driven performance management.
  • Proficiency with IT service management (ITSM) ticketing systems and project management.
  • Experience leading federal IT contracts, ServiceNow certification, or knowledge management expertise (preferred).
