Job Summary

POSITION SUMMARY

Part of the Information Technology Services ( ITS ) Springboard Program, Technology Specialist and Service Relationship Managers are employed under a term appointment of up to three years, with expertise increasing each year.

In addition to performing a technical specialist role in their team, these full-time employees provide an important relationship management role among ITS and departments (both academic and administrative) across campus. In that role, they advocate for those they represent in ITS decision-making and assist with ticket resolution as well as disseminate important technology service and change information to constituents. As technical triage specialists, these employees ensure that support tickets are routed to the appropriate colleague(s) on their technical team and help keep ticket submitters informed of progress.

These positions report to the Directors of their respective technology teams and share a programmatic home within the ITS Service Management Team. From here, mentoring (receiving and, later, providing) opportunities as well as professional development and other cohort-based components of the Springboard Program are led.

About the Springboard Program:

The Springboard Program is a professional employment opportunity within the Grinnell College ITS department that is specifically for recent graduates. A competitive program, it provides up to three years employment in a cohort-based environment; up to four positions are available most years. In addition to a competitive salary that may increase up to 20% annually, Springboard Program employees will gain professional experience in three different technology fields1 as well as have the opportunity to attain professional certifications related to each. Employees who progress satisfactorily through three full years will also gain the Grinnell College IT Springboard Certificate.

While the program is open to eligible graduates in any discipline and no prior technology experience is required for those with Bachelor’s (or higher) degrees, a demonstrated interest in information technology and professional development is embraced. Applicants with Associate’s Degrees must have had information technology as a component of their course work.

This program provides a fantastic way to gain practical technology experience, professional certification, and experience different professional information technology career paths.

Options typically include: Network Services, Information Security, Project Management, Helpdesk and Technical Support, AV, Enterprise Services, and Business Intelligence.

This is a 3 year full time term position with an expected hire date of 7/15/2025.
