By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day. Smartsheet is looking for a highly technical Sr. Manager to lead our India-based Service Desk and IT Automation operations. This is a working-manager role: you'll personally execute technical work — scripting, automation builds, escalated ticket resolution — while also leading a team.

You'll manage a team spanning Service Desk, Tier 1 SOC support, and IT Automation Engineering, driving the technical maturity of our global support infrastructure through automation, scripting, deep systems integration, and increasingly, AI-augmented workflows.

We believe that high-quality tax filings are entirely dependent on robust, accurate statutory financials. By managing the statutory financial reporting and audit processes end-to-end, our integrated team ensures a seamless, high-integrity data flow directly into our international tax return filings. The Honest Reality & The Partnership: Currently, our global statutory financial preparation and audit process is fragmented, and we are actively working through bottlenecks that impact our filing timelines. To bridge the gap, our Director of Global Tax & Compliance has been personally managing this function day-to-day. Because of this, we aren’t starting from scratch. We have already diagnosed many of the root causes, mapped out where the process breaks down, and formulated clear hypotheses for future improvements. This is not a "maintenance" job, nor is it a solo rescue mission. We are looking for a true strategic collaborator. We need a leader who can partner closely with the Director, stress-test our current ideas, bring their own seasoned perspective to the table, and turn our vision for a world-class in-house compliance function into a reality.
