About Fitness & Lifestyle Group

Fitness & Lifestyle Group (FLG) is Asia Pacific's largest group of corporately owned health and wellness clubs — 310+ locations, 600,000+ members, and five of the region's most recognised fitness brands: Fitness First Australia, Goodlife Health Clubs, Jetts Fitness, Zap Fitness and Barry's.

We're headquartered in Australia with regional offices across South East Asia, and we're on a mission to help our global community live stronger, happier lives.

The Opportunity

Every day, thousands of people across Goodlife Health Clubs, Fitness First, Zap Fitness, Barry's Bootcamp and Jetts NZ rely on tech that just needs to work. Club teams, support office staff and brand teams across more than 270 locations are all counting on a Service Desk that answers quickly and gets it right. As our Service Desk Team Lead, you'll be the person who makes that happen.

You'll lead a mixed team of onshore Level 2 specialists and an offshore team in the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand, and line manage our Level 2 Support Engineers. You'll be the escalation point when things get complex and the first to step in when a major incident hits. You'll also help shape how we improve, using ITIL 4 practices and automation in Jira Service Management to cut ticket volumes and speed up resolution. This is a role for someone who wants to build one connected team, whatever the time zone.

The Responsibilities

• Run daily Service Desk operations in Jira Service Management, including triage, prioritisation and queue management, so SLAs and OLAs are met across onshore and offshore teams

• Lead, coach and develop the onshore and offshore teams, with rosters that give seamless coverage across time zones and consistent performance expectations in every location

• Line manage the Level 2 Support Engineers in the SOP L2 Project Team, aligning their backlog with project and operational priorities

• Meet monthly with our offshore provider's account manager to review performance, staffing, training and service improvements

• Act as first coordinator for P1 and P2 incidents, pulling resolver teams together, keeping stakeholders informed and running post incident reviews with clear actions

• Be the escalation point for complex technical issues, making sure they're resolved on time

• Own the CMDB, asset records and knowledge base, and get the Service Desk ready for approved changes with articles, user comms and hypercare in place

• Find shift left and self-service opportunities, working with our AI & Automation function on JSM automations and AI assisted support

• Keep support processes in line with FLG's security policies, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, and support our Cyber Security team and managed SOC when they need action on endpoints or credentials

• Report on SLA performance, incident trends and backlog by location to help IT leadership make decisions

About You

You're a leader who likes seeing a team perform well and knows that good support starts with looking after both the people delivering it and the people receiving it. You're decisive when an incident is live and calm when the pressure is on. You communicate comfortably with everyone from a club manager to a vendor account manager, and you value working across cultures. You're always asking how something could be done better, and you've got the organisational skills to juggle competing priorities and rosters across time zones. Most of all, you care about the experience of our club teams and employees and want them to get the best support possible.

Key Experience and Qualifications

• Experience in a service desk or technical support role, delivering high-quality support to internal users

• Leadership experience managing a team in an IT environment, including line managing technical engineers as well as support analysts

• Experience directly managing offshore team members across multiple countries and time zones, and working with an outsourced provider's account management

• Hands on experience with Jira Service Management or a similar ITSM platform

• Working knowledge of ITIL 4 configuration management and knowledge management, and an understanding of how change enablement affects service operations

• Strong technical knowledge of Windows 11, Intune, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Defender for Endpoint and Teams Rooms

• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues

• ITIL 4 Foundation is highly desirable, and Microsoft certifications such as MD-102 or MS-900 are highly regarded

• A bachelor's degree in information technology, computer science or a related field is preferred, though equivalent experience will be considered
