About the Role

We are looking for a forward-thinking leader to serve as the Director of Digital Workplace & End User Services. This is a pivotal role for someone who sees IT not as a support function, but as a product organization dedicated to empowering our workforce.

This is a remote position open to candidates in the U.S and Canada. Relocation assistance will no be provided for this role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect the AI-Centric Digital Workplace: Lead the strategy to integrate generative AI and intelligent agents into the daily workflow. You will redefine how employees access information, collaborate, and execute tasks by embedding AI assistants directly into their digital environment.


• Design for Delightful Experiences: Champion the "Digital Employee Experience" (DEX). You will move beyond traditional SLAs by implementing sentiment-based metrics (eNPS) to ensure technology consistently enables, rather than hinders, our employees.

You will be responsible for defining and enforcing service level targets, driving continuous improvement in ticket deflection and resolution time, and maturing the ITSM platform to support a scalable, user-centric support model aligned with the zero-touch automation vision.


• Lifecycle Management: Direct the strategy for hardware and software procurement, provisioning, patching, and asset disposal to optimize costs and security.


• Leadership & Vendor Management: Lead internal teams and manage external service providers, ensuring consistent performance, budget accountability, and continuous process improvement.


• Product-Led IT: Manage our internal toolset as a product portfolio. You will iterate on features, gather user feedback, and manage a roadmap that prioritizes ease-of-use and frictionless integration.


• IT Security & Compliance Partnership: Serve as a key stakeholder and partner to the Information Security team in enforcing endpoint security standards, device compliance policies, and data loss prevention (DLP) controls across all managed devices. You will ensure that Digital Workplace tools and configurations align with regulatory and audit requirements, support identity and access management (IAM) integrations, and participate in security incident response as it relates to end user and network infrastructure.
