Category: Management/Supervisory
Portland, OR (Downtown)

Overview

What you do

Your role is to manage, champion, and advance best practices in delivering services related to endpoint devices and endpoint technology that enable our customers to perform their core work.  The nature of your role means being part of discussions about how and why ITG works the way it does. It means engaging OHSU’s community of creators, builders, and providers—to understand their goals while being able to be comfortable communicating with people at all levels of our organization.

You will lead a group of employees whose focus is to provide successful delivery of services in support of endpoint devices and virtual endpoint technology, throughout their entire lifecycle.

You will work with the Director of IT Field Service to define department wide policies and practices to ensure successful operability and uptime of managed endpoints at OHSU. You will develop and use measurable data as well as qualitative insight to recommend goals and the means to achieve them.

You and the team you lead will provide analysis to make meaningful decisions that will inform endpoint services, management, purchasing and disposition strategy.

Because your focus isn't singular—it's not just on one product, program, or service—the function of the people you manage, the data you gather, the insights you build, and the recommendations you make cover several work areas. Those areas include, but aren't limited to:

• Overall customer satisfaction related to physical and virtual endpoints deployed at OHSU.
• Leadership of a team of technical employees responsible for planning, incident and change management for technologies across multiple platforms. These technologies allow for automated operating system deployment, management and security of endpoint devices

Your primary responsibilities are to:

• Lead the teams responsible for endpoint management
• Devise and lead strategy for endpoint management
• Drive a high level of customer satisfaction
• Utilize technical and operational savvy to build and maintain a high functioning team

In your first 12 months, your goals are to:

• Get to know your customers, your staff, and their needs
• Utilize GROW conversations with staff to measure their development
• Establish a roadmap for endpoint delivery services
• Review and measure key performance indicators for your respective teams
• Establish and monitor work unit processes
• Optimize endpoint engineering staff workflow and priorities to more effectively meet deadlines
• Successfully deploy Windows 11 to the organization
• Select a solution and implement a thin-client fleet refresh
• Analyze and produce a strategy for device deployment in hospital areas

Ultimately you are successful in this role when:

• FTS customer's satisfaction has measurably increased
• You are proactive in your approach to managing endpoints
• Your ability to deliver endpoint services meets the demands of our customers
• You pay at least as much attention to our human systems as our technical ones
• You use your experience to mentor and lead by example
• Adoptions of your suggestions improve team morale, behavior, or output
• You and your team can articulate and satisfy performance indicators
