Dispatch Operations Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Description: Dispatch & Operations Manager About ServicePoint ServicePoint is a leading technology services provider across North America, recognized for delivering exceptional customer experiences and operational excellence. We specialize in designing, implementing, and supporting solutions across Data Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Audio Visual, and Managed Services. At ServicePoint, we foster a fast-paced, execution-focused environment where leadership, accountability, and continuous improvement drive success. Our teams work collaboratively to support enterprise clients through scalable staffing, field service delivery, and technical operations. Position Summary: The Dispatch & Operations Manager is responsible for leading the day-to-day operations of ServicePoint's Dispatch Service Coordination team, ensuring field service activities, customer communications, technical escalations, and operational support are executed efficiently, accurately, and in accordance with customer expectations and contractual SLAs. This position provides direct operational leadership to Dispatch Service Coordinators while supporting technical issue escalation, field service appointments, technician assignments, customer communications, work order activity, routing adjustments, troubleshooting escalations, and real-time service events across the country. This role is being hired at a pivotal time. The Dispatch organization is undergoing a rebuild, and this manager will be expected to assess current team performance and processes, address gaps in skill, accountability, and documentation, and re-establish a high-performing, well-trained operation. This is not a steady-state maintenance role — it requires someone comfortable diagnosing dysfunction, making hard personnel and process calls, and building structure where it doesn't currently exist. The Dispatch & Operations Manager serves as a key point of escalation for complex or time-sensitive service and technical issues and works closely with Technical Staffing, Project Management, Service Delivery, Operations, and other internal teams to maintain service continuity and customer satisfaction. The ideal candidate is an experienced operations leader with genuine technical fluency who thrives in a high-volume environment, can make sound decisions under pressure, understands field service and dispatch operations, and is capable of balancing people leadership, technical judgment, and real-time operational demands. This role must be capable of independently managing escalations and operational decisions when other leadership resources are unavailable.

Address underperformance directly, including coaching, performance plans, and — where necessary — personnel changes, in partnership with HR. Design, document, and deliver structured onboarding and ongoing training programs for Dispatch staff, including technical skills and troubleshooting fundamentals. Rebuild or establish standard operating procedures, escalation workflows, and quality standards from the ground up where they are missing or outdated. Re-establish clear accountability standards and performance expectations across the team. Report progress on rebuild milestones to Service Delivery and Operations leadership. Identify opportunities to strengthen technical knowledge, escalation handling, documentation, and decision-making capabilities within the team.
