Information Technology Services Manager

We're seeking driven, curious people who bring energy to what they do and see challenges as opportunities to improve. Our team of co-owners values enthusiasm, creativity, and a growth mindset, and we're committed to putting those qualities to work on solutions that matter. If you're ready to grow and make an impact, we'd love for you to join our team.

The IT Services Manager will lead our IT support services team. We're looking for someone who enjoys improving the status quo and finding new ways to deliver excellent IT services.

We don't need someone to simply inherit our existing processes. We want someone who will understand them, challenge them, and improve them. You'll be expected to identify things we should stop doing, things we should do differently, and capabilities we need to build.

You'll lead the help desk and continuously improve how we deliver IT services and support. Partner with your peers on the IT Infrastructure team while remaining accountable for driving your ideas through implementation and achieving measurable results.

You'll deliver exceptional customer service, manage projects in a dynamic environment, and continuously adapt to new technologies.

This is an on-site role with a Monday - Friday schedule reporting to our Baton Rouge, LA office
