Job Description The Senior Manager, Global Helpdesk & End‑User Services is a senior technology leader responsible for shaping, scaling, and modernizing the firm’s global helpdesk and end‑user support model.

Automation, Efficiency & Engineering Liaison • Identify recurring/manual support tasks from ticket trends and convert them into automation or self‑service opportunities. • Serve as the communication bridge between support and engineering with clear business cases and impact analyses. • Provide logs, examples, and user feedback to support engineering design. • Track automation progress and outcomes; communicate updates to leadership and support teams. • Facilitate post‑release feedback loops to validate results and identify further improvements.
