Job Overview:
At Ingersoll Rand, the Corporate IT Group sits at the center of global digital transformation—combining global scale with a strong ownership mentality and forward investment in technology. The team drives enterprise-scale modernization across AI, automation, cybersecurity, enterprise systems, and connected digital solutions that power our businesses, manufacturing, engineering, and customer experience—operating as a strategic business partner, not a traditional maintenance-focused IT organization. As our Global Service Desk Experience Manager, ownership of the end-to-end IT Service Desk experience spans more than 25,000 employees across 400+ global locations, shaping how support is delivered from first contact through resolution. The focus is a simple, fast, reliable, and continuously improving employee experience—measured by the consistency and quality of service at enterprise scale.

This is a highly hands-on leadership role grounded in daily execution and operational control. It includes direct responsibility for employee and L1 contractor resources while holding full accountability for the overall Service Desk experience. Impact is delivered not only through your team, but by influencing outcomes across multiple teams through strong peer leadership, collaboration, and escalation management. A key part of the role is driving ongoing optimization of the ServiceNow platform—including workflows, routing, forms, and user experience—while partnering across IT and business stakeholders to ensure seamless global service delivery. The role also serves as the escalation point when the service experience breaks down and owns continuous improvement of support processes worldwide. A strong analytics mindset is essential, using ServiceNow data to identify trends, elevate employee experience signals such as NPS, and uncover opportunities to improve service performance.

This role also plays a critical part in advancing AI-enabled service delivery—leveraging capabilities already in motion, including AI-driven ServiceNow insights and Copilot Studio–enabled end-user experiences—to reduce friction, deflect avoidable tickets, and modernize how employees engage with IT support, while maintaining operational excellence and budget discipline. Defined by its scale and influence, this role touches every employee experience with the Service Desk, while many outcomes rely on teams beyond direct reporting lines. Success requires strong peer leadership, data-driven decision-making, and disciplined execution across a highly interconnected global environment. If bring the expertise and you’re ready to shape a modern, AI-enabled global Service Desk experience at scale, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Service Desk Experience: Own the full global Ingersoll Rand Service Desk experience across all tiers, including defining the service strategy and roadmap to deliver consistent, high-quality support worldwide.
• Team & Contractor Leadership: Directly lead employee and L1 contractor resources, setting clear expectations and coaching toward urgent, customer-first, high-quality service
• Operational Control & Execution: Keep ServiceNow assignment queues in control by actively managing backlog health, SLAs, aging work, and user impact—even when queues are not directly owned
• Customer Experience Measurement: Measure, analyze, and improve the user experience using NPS, trends, and feedback with clear communication and closed-loop follow-up
• AI & Automation Adoption: Actively apply AI, automation, and streamline workflows to improve self-service, triage, resolution speed, and overall Service Desk effectiveness
• Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear, timely, and transparent communication to users and stakeholders; serve as a primary escalation point for customer-impacting issues during incidents, service disruptions, and ongoing Service Desk initiatives
• Partnership & Relationship Building: Build strong, collaborative relationships with IT teams, business partners, and support groups by being accessible, engaged, open to feedback, and solution-oriented
• Financial Accountability: Own and manage the Service Desk budget, making disciplined, cost-conscious decisions that optimize spend without degrading experience

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in IT Service Management environments
• 5+ years supporting users within large, distributed, or global organizations
• 4+ years of experience managing vendors and contractor-based support models
• 4+ years of hands-on ServiceNow experience, including designing service forms and leveraging data to analyze performance and drive continuous improvement
• 2+ years of experience applying AI and automation to improve Service Desk efficiency, service quality, and user experience

Core Competencies:

• Global Service Desk Experience Ownership: Owns and continuously improves the end-to-end Service Desk experience across large, distributed global environments, delivering consistent, high-quality, user-centered support at enterprise scale.
• Operational Execution & Service Control: Strong execution discipline in managing daily Service Desk operations, including queue health, SLA performance, backlog control, and service stability in fast-paced, high-volume environments.
• People, Vendor & Contractor Leadership: Leads both employees and contractor-based support models, setting clear expectations, driving accountability, and reinforcing a strong customer-first service culture.
• ServiceNow, Analytics & Continuous Improvement: Hands-on ServiceNow expertise, including workflow and form design, paired with strong analytical capability to use operational data, NPS, and service trends to drive measurable improvement.
• AI-Enabled Service Transformation: Applies AI, automation, and digital tools to improve Service Desk efficiency, enable self-service, reduce friction, and accelerate resolution in a controlled, scalable way.
• Financial Stewardship & Business Discipline: Owns budget responsibility with disciplined financial management, balancing cost efficiency with service quality. Operates effectively in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment with strong prioritization and judgment.
• Stakeholder Influence & Communication Excellence: High-energy advocate for the Service Desk and its users, driving urgency and visibility around the support experience. Builds trust through clear communication, sound judgment, and strong influence across IT and business stakeholders while effectively leveraging enterprise tools and collaboration platforms.
