Many factors impact expectations for an information technology (IT) manager's position. For example, in a large company with several information technology employees, an IT manager's role may be largely supervisory. However, in a small organization, the IT manager may work alone, or function as a team leader who oversees the work of just a few people. Regardless of company size, IT managers are typically in charge of their company's computer systems, including networking, hardware installation and repair, software implementation and security. As you review sample job descriptions, keep in mind that no two jobs are identical.
