Job description

*Factors that may be used to determine your actual salary include your job specific skills, education, training, job location, number of years of experience related to this role and comparison to other employees already in this role.


DSG is seeking a Help Desk Manager to join their IT team. In this full time, salaried, exempt position, work is typically performed during standard business hours, Monday through Friday, but will vary on occasion according to business needs. As a Help Desk Manager, you will be responsible for leading DSG’s help desk operations, end-user support experience, technical support standards, and continuous improvement of IT service delivery across the organization. This role includes both people leadership and hands-on technical guidance to ensure employee owners receive secure, reliable, efficient, and customer-focused technology support.

This position is accountable for the performance, development, and technical readiness of the Help Desk team, including ticket management, escalation handling, service-level performance, process improvement, knowledge management, and end-user satisfaction. The Help Desk Manager will serve as a technical coach and escalation resource for the team, with strong proficiency in the Microsoft technology ecosystem, including Microsoft 365 administration, identity and access management, endpoint support, collaboration tools, security administration, and automation.

The Help Desk Manager will also help modernize help desk operations through automation, AI-enabled support tools, self-service capabilities, ticket analytics, and repeatable remediation workflows. This includes identifying recurring issues, developing automated fixes where appropriate, improving first-contact resolution, reducing ticket volume, and enabling the team to resolve issues faster and more consistently.


DSG is a people-centric, customer-obsessed, and growth-focused wholesale distributor. With over 130,000 (and growing!) products, not only are we one of the most diversified suppliers in the upper Midwest, we also have expertise in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, waterworks, utility, communications, and more! We have fun, we are friendly, and we embody a culture that genuinely cares for people far beyond their job title. Our purpose is to serve fellow employee owners, our partners, and communities toward building a better America, one job at a time. We are proud to be 100% employee owned, with an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that gives our employee owners a unique opportunity to build their personal wealth in addition to a traditional retirement plan.
