**About the Role**:
As IT Service Desk Team Leader, you** **will act as a bridge between front-line support and the Senior Service Desk Analysts, Service Desk Manager, and higher-level IT management, contributing to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Service Desk offering.

You will collaborate with other IT departments, set performance goals, monitor team performance metrics and implement improvement strategies.

In addition, you will work closely with the Service Desk Manager to achieve customer satisfaction and build a good working relationship with other IT teams. The team supports a vast array of technologies with around a 50% split of users across Windows and Mac operating systems, as well as iOS and Android, so knowledge of these various platforms is desirable.
