We're also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that's built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed.

Join us to transform the way the world works.

At Linked In, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a Linked In office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

The Enterprise Technology Experience (ETE) organization delivers the technology experience for every Linked In employee, from the moment they open their laptop to the moment a global all-hands goes live. The team owns Employee Technology Foundations, Media (Live/Video/Events), Enterprise Application Support and Reliability, and an Agentic Service Platform that is transforming how employees get help and how the enterprise detects and resolves issues before employees ever notice them.

We are seeking a seasoned operations and experience leader to own strategy, execution, and outcomes for Linked In's global employee technology experience. This leader will be responsible for the end-to-end experience portfolio: global employee support operations and managed service provider (MSP) ecosystems, on-site and virtual office experience models, employee-facing incident response, and the AI-driven service transformation that is shifting the organization from reactive ticketing to proactive, agent-assisted, monitor-detected resolution.

This is not a traditional IT support leadership role. The right candidate leads with experience-first thinking, where the employee's felt experience is the primary product, and treats operational metrics, automation, and reliability engineering as the means to that end.

Define and drive a multi-year vision for the global employee technology experience, balancing experience quality, reliability, velocity, and cost efficiency across on-site, hybrid, and fully virtual office models.

Own global employee support operations end-to-end: service desk, tech bars/walk-up experiences, deskside services, executive support, and new-hire technology onboarding across all regions.

Lead a multi-vendor MSP ecosystem, vendor strategy, contract negotiation, consolidation, and performance management, aligning investments and SLAs/XLAs to measurable experience outcomes rather than ticket throughput alone.

Drive AI and agentic transformation of the service experience: champion self-healing, autonomous triage, and virtual agent support so an increasing share of employee issues are detected by monitoring and resolved by automation before an employee has to report them.

Establish and own experience-first measurement: shift the organization from employee-notified to monitor-detected incident discovery, and mature XLA/CSAT, time-to-restore, and deflection metrics that tie directly to how work feels for employees.

Partner with Site Reliability and Service Management functions on employee-facing incident response — clear communications, predictable escalation, and blameless post-incident learning for high-severity events affecting the workforce.

Scale the virtual office operating model: deliver a consistent, high-quality technology experience for global offices without on-site IT presence, including remote support tooling, smart lockers/vending, and localized logistics.

Oversee enterprise application support and reliability for the business-critical SaaS and internal application portfolio, ensuring clear ownership, escalation paths, and reliability standards.

Support world-class media, live event, and broadcast experiences in partnership with events and communications stakeholders — from executive all-hands to global broadcast moments.

Establish annual goals/OKRs and measurable outcomes tied to experience health, operational efficiency, and TCO (e.g., monitor-detected rate, XLA attainment, deflection/automation rate, cost per employee supported).
