For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. 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. If you're looking for a purely strategic or delegation-only leadership role, this isn't it. 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. This role reports to the Director of End User Systems, with close, day-to-day partnership across US-based Desktop Support managers. For the right candidate, this role has a clear path to Director as we continue scaling our India GCC — with growth into that level anticipated within 12–18 months. This is also a strong fit for a Director-level leader currently at a SaaS startup who's looking to move into a larger, enterprise SaaS organization — and who is open to a step down in title now in exchange for a step up in scale, platform, and long-term trajectory. You Will IT Automation & Architecture Drive the IT automation function, identifying repetitive Tier 1 tasks and owning their automation end-to-end — from scoping through build, testing, and measurement Evaluate and build AI-augmented automation where it meaningfully reduces toil (e.g. intelligent ticket triage, SOC alert summarisation, AI
