About School Health
School Health has specialized exclusively in the school market for more than 65 years, partnering with schools and districts nationwide to support student health, safety, and wellness. We're a trusted provider of products, programs, and expertise! Our Technology team is a core part of what keeps that mission running every day.
The Role
The Technology Systems & Support Supervisor owns the day-to-day operation and reliability of our server, network, and cloud infrastructure while directly leading a small helpdesk team.

And it's not a pure infrastructure engineer role. It's both! And that's exactly what makes it interesting.
You'll report to the Business Systems & IT Operations Manager and play a key role in shaping how technology runs and improves across the organization.
What You'll Do
On the infrastructure side, you'll own it end to end:
On the team leadership side, you'll be the person the helpdesk counts on:
And across both sides of the role:
