The Story

Virtual IT Group (VITG) is a 100% Australian-owned MSP/MSSP, founded in 2002, with offices across Australia and New Zealand. They help organisations turn technology into a competitive advantage — delivering managed services, cloud solutions and security to a diverse portfolio of SMEs and national brands.

This opportunity sits within their close-knit North Geelong pod at Federal Mills — a fast-paced, high-performing service desk supporting multi-state clients.

At its core, this role is about leading a busy MSP service desk team, driving performance, maintaining service quality, and ensuring customers receive exceptional outcomes in a high-volume, ticket-driven environment.

The Role

As Support Team Lead, you will oversee a pod of Level 1–Level 3 engineers, ensuring service excellence, team performance, and strong client advocacy.

This is a leadership-focused role — centred on people, performance, service delivery and operational oversight.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and developing a team of support engineers (1:1s, KPIs, coaching and mentoring)
• Managing ticket triage, workload allocation and SLA adherence
• Overseeing Incident, Problem and Change Management processes
• Reviewing ticket quality, timesheets and service reporting
• Acting as escalation support for high-priority P1/P2 incidents
• Driving customer satisfaction and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships
• Managing resource allocation and supporting operational efficiencies
• Contributing to continuous improvement across ITSM processes and tooling (ConnectWise currently; potential ServiceNow transition in future)
• Fostering a strong, inclusive, high-performing team culture

You will operate in a fast-paced MSP model, balancing competing priorities while ensuring service standards and team morale remain high.

What's In It For You?

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Support Team Lead or Senior Service Desk professional ready to step into a visible leadership role within a growing national MSP.

Why apply?

• Join a respected, Australian-owned organisation with strong growth plans
• Lead a high-performing, close-knit Geelong team with genuine camaraderie
• Be part of a business evolving toward greater automation, security and AI integration
• Clear career pathways
• Hybrid flexibility in a collaborative and inclusive environment
• Influence service delivery standards during a period of scale and transformation
  
  

This role will ideally suit someone who:

• Has 2+ years’ experience in team leadership within an MSP or fast-paced IT operations environment
• Thrives in high-volume service delivery rather than pure project environments
• Understands ITIL and service management frameworks
• Is confident managing performance, driving accountability and building strong team culture
• Enjoys sprinting in an MSP paced environment 

If you’re a people-first leader who understands MSP dynamics, enjoys operational ownership, and wants to grow your career within a scaling technology business — I'd love to hear from you!

The Story 

Renowned is defining a new category: Local Expert Marketing. The battle for the property listing is won online before an agent is contacted. Their mission is to ensure that when homeowners do their research, those agents stand out as the undisputed local choice.

The Renowned Ecosystem. Following the strategic merger of RateMyAgent and Curated Social, they have created a complete professional-facing platform. While RateMyAgent captures the consumer trust (the reputation), Renowned provides the automated system to turn that trust into "always-on" marketing content.

Their Value Proposition. They solve the industry's fundamental challenge, winning the next listing through three pillars:

1. Visibility: Achieving omnipresence across key digital channels.

2. Authenticity: Using real data and social proof to build authority.

3. Automation: Implementing systems where great service automatically generates great marketing.

In short, Renowned help agents and brokerages ensure that success follows trust, enabling them to transition from endless prospecting to effortless attraction.

The Role

Reporting directly to the CEO (based in the US), the Chief Product & Technology Officer will own product vision, strategy, and execution across Australia, New Zealand, and the US. 

As a key member of the executive leadership team, the CPTO will be responsible not only for strategic product vision but also for operational delivery across all platform services, apps, and data products that drive revenue and profit growth.

This role is ultimately responsible for delivering an excellent customer experience that enables Renowned to be the market leader in all three markets. But it also goes beyond that. This would be a key role in shaping and leading the business in Australia. 

The CPTO shares accountability for Renowned's global P&L, including revenue and profit targets, and must ensure product delivery aligns with the company's sales and retention growth objectives.

What do we need? 

We need someone who makes decisions, gets on with it and drives real change. This isn't a role about maintaining what already exists and doing more of the same. This isn’t a step-up role either - you need to have done this before. 

You'll build and lead high-performing product and engineering teams, then spread that same mindset across the entire organisation. That means strong people leadership, experience scaling tech businesses (ideally marketplace or B2B), ownership of P&L outcomes, and a clear vision for where the product needs to go.

The ideal background is product-led with proven accountability across engineering. More P than T in this CPTO role, but you understand both worlds and know how to make them work together to ship what matters.

What’s in it for you?  

These roles don’t come around often. This is an opportunity to drive real growth here and abroad, and the scope, support and trust to do that. 

If you like being a real force for change and having the means to make key decisions and drive that change, this role provides that, while scaling and driving innovation across three different markets, as well as shaping business objectives and vision. 

It is a collaborative culture, and the best idea wins. There are no bottlenecks or egos, but a willingness to change and do things better and deliver value. 

If this possibly sounds like you and you’re curious to learn more, please apply and say hi.
