Job Description

The University of Notre Dame seeks an ITSM Program Manager to help transform and improve IT service delivery. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is the central IT organization at the University. This position will serve as the team lead for the ITSM team.

Why join the OIT at Notre Dame?

We do fantastic work and make a difference. We are leaders in higher ed IT and are recognized among Computerworld Best Places to Work in IT for more than a decade. We have a welcoming, inclusive, and fun culture. And we really love to eat!

What does this position do?

This position helps cure rare and neglected diseases, combat America’s mental health crisis, and preserve cultural heritage. In other words, we can’t achieve the amazing things that Notre Dame has planned unless we have the technology and services to enable them.
