Sr. Manager, Service Desk & IT Automation (Hybrid in Bangalore)

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has helped people and teams achieve–well, anything. From seamless work management to smart, scalable solutions, we’ve always worked with flow. We’re building tools that empower teams to automate the manual, uncover insights, and scale smarter. But more than that, we’re creating space– space to think big, take action, and unlock the kind of work that truly matters. Because when challenge meets purpose, and passion turns into progress, that’s magic at work, and it’s what we show up for everyday. Smartsheet is looking for a highly technical leader to head our India-based Service Desk and IT Automation operations. This is a working manager role that requires both hands-on technical execution and team leadership. You will manage a team spanning Service Desk, Tier 1 SOC support, and IT Automation Engineering — driving the technical maturity of our global support infrastructure through automation, scripting, and deep systems integration. This is a unique working manager role that requires both hands-on technical contribution and team leadership. The position operates in a collaborative matrix structure, where the India-based manager ensures execution and delivery while US-based managers maintain accountability for outcomes and strategic direction. This role reports directly to the Director of End User Systems with close, cooperative partnership with US-based Desktop Support managers.
