As the IT Operations Team Lead, you will be the operational anchor of Abridge's IT Operations function, a player-coach who is equally comfortable resolving complex support escalations yourself and raising the capability of the team around you. You will own the day-to-day health of the support desk: ticket queue quality, SLA performance, escalation paths, and the consistency of the support experience across the organization. This is not a management role, it is a senior individual contributor role with meaningful team influence and process ownership. You will work in a healthcare AI environment where support quality directly impacts the productivity of clinical, research, and engineering teams, and where data handling standards require a high degree of care and discretion. # What You'll Do
Hands-On Support: Serve as a senior escalation point for complex hardware, software, SaaS, identity and access-related issues across a macOS-primary environment; resolve issues directly alongside the team. - Queue & SLA Ownership: Own the health and performance of the IT Operations queue, triaging and prioritizing tickets to meet SLA targets, while leveraging ticket metrics (volume, resolution time, backlog, CSAT) and trends to drive staffing, process, and tooling decisions. - Process & Standards: Define, document, and continuously improve support processes, escalation paths, runbooks, and knowledge base content to drive consistent, high-quality outcomes. - Team Enablement: Serve as a technical mentor and day-to-day guide for support staff, sharing knowledge, reviewing ticket handling, and helping the team level up without acting as their direct manager. - Own the execution of IT onboarding and offboarding workflows, ensuring new hires are fully provisioned and departing employees are fully deprovisioned in alignment with security and compliance requirements. - Maintain accurate asset inventory, oversee device provisioning and return processes, and identify opportunities to improve support tooling. - Ensure support practices align with HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements, particularly around access management, device handling, and data sensitivity. - Communicate clearly and professionally with employees at all levels, including executives, on support status, incidents, and IT policy. - Manage end-to-end IT procurement, partnering with Finance and vendors to optimize costs, renewals, and licensing across the organization. # What You'll Need
