The hard part is the analyst who's burning out on a Friday afternoon, the customer escalation nobody flagged until it was too late, and the SLA you're watching slip in real time while you try to hold five things together at once. You've been there — and you've figured out how to get through it without losing the team in the process.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You care about the people underneath you as much as the metrics above you. You know that a well-run help desk isn't just a function — it's a culture. And you know how to build that culture deliberately, through feedback, clarity, and earning trust quickly.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">At Fixify, we're building an AI-native IT automation platform that combines technology with a human touch. The help desk is where that human touch shows up in real time — and the Manager, IT Operations is the person who makes sure it holds up under pressure. You'll lead a team of IT analysts, own the operational standards that keep our customers happy, and work across the organisation to make sure we're building for scale, not just for today.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll manage people and processes, shape how we work across customers, and partner with operations, product, and employee experience to build something that lasts.</p> <h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">What we can do for you</h3> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Give you real ownership of a help desk operation at a company where automation and AI are core to what we do — not an afterthought.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Put you at the intersection of customer success, operations, and product, where your observations directly shape what we build next.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Give you the autonomy to design and improve the processes, systems, and standards your team works within.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Surround you with a leadership team that values data, clarity, and getting things right over looking like they're right.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Let you grow a team and leave a mark on how Fixify scales.</li> </ul> <h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">What you can do for us</h3> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Lead, mentor, and manage a team of IT analysts, setting the standard for how we support customers and building a culture of continuous improvement.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own our SLA and quality targets — tracking performance, identifying gaps, and driving the changes needed to close them.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Develop and monitor KPIs that give the team and leadership clear visibility into what's working and what isn't.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Partner with operations leadership to design and implement the processes that let us scale the help desk without losing quality.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Partner with employee experience to keep our hiring and performance management systems aligned with our capacity needs.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Partner with the product team to surface trends, flag systemic issues, and identify opportunities for automation and improvement.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Ensure shifts are properly staffed, equipped, and set up to succeed — every day.</li> </ul> <h3 class="text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold">What you should bring with you</h3> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">6+ years in technology operations or support, including at least 3 years managing or supervising a team.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Working knowledge of help desk platforms, including tools like Zendesk and ServiceNow.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Familiarity with IT infrastructure and troubleshooting; you don't need to be an engineer, but you need to understand the territory.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Working knowledge of data analysis tools — experience with Tableau, Hex, or similar platforms is a plus.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The ability to build trust quickly, with customers and teammates alike.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the confidence to use them under pressure.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A track record of developing people — coaching, mentoring, and giving feedback that actually sticks.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The ability to navigate ambiguity, prioritise fast, and act without waiting for perfect information.</li> <li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A genuine customer service mindset — you take ownership when things go wrong and you don't look for someone else to blame.</li> </ul> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is a hybrid role, combining remote work with regular in-person time at Fixify's Cork office.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="h-px w-full pointer-events-none">&nbsp;</div>
