• Operate effectively in a highly collaborative and changing work environment, including adapting to evolving help desk coverage needs.
• Maintain compliance with NSH security policies, privacy requirements, and HIPAA requirements during all support activities.
• Resolve routine incidents using established procedures and escalate unresolved or more complex issues with complete context to improve resolution efficiency and reduce rework.

Experience (required):
