Position Summary

The Lead, End User Services & IT Operations is responsible for delivering a seamless, secure, and productive user experience across all enterprise IT services. This role serves as the primary interface between the workforce and IT, ensuring that systems are not only operational, but usable, adopted, and continuously improved.
