Who You Are

You are someone who genuinely cares about the experience of the people you support. You bring an innovative mindset to everything you do - when you hit a wall, you look for a way around it rather than waiting for someone else to move it. You are energized by challenges, not discouraged by them, and you think creatively about how to get to a solution. You listen carefully, communicate clearly, and do not let details fall through the cracks. You are a team player who lifts others up and shares what you know. You hold yourself to a high standard, take ownership of your work, and when something goes wrong you focus on fixing it - not on explaining why it was someone else's problem. You bring energy to everything you start and see it through to the end.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree preferred; equivalent work experience will be considered.

• 1-3 years of experience in IT, technical support, or a related field.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills - you can explain a technical issue clearly to someone who has no IT background.

Required Qualifications

• Genuinely excited to learn - you do not need to come in knowing everything, but you need to come in wanting to. This role is built for someone early in their IT career who is hungry to grow.

• Strong customer service orientation with the ability to communicate clearly at all levels of the organization.

• Good analytical and problem-solving skills, with a precise approach to documenting issues and resolutions.

• Ability to organize and prioritize work effectively in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

• Methodical and disciplined - you follow established processes and flag when something does not fit.

• Comfortable working under pressure, both independently and as part of a team.

• Active listener who can translate technical concepts into accessible language for non-technical users.

• Basic knowledge of PC hardware and software.

What Will Set You Apart

• ITIL Foundation certification, or active pursuit of it.

• Prior experience in a service desk, help desk, or IT support role.

• Familiarity with enterprise ITSM tools (ServiceNow, Cherwell, or similar).

• Hands-on experience with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini - even personal or exploratory use counts.

• Familiarity with automation tools such as Microsoft Power Automate or UiPath.

• Exposure to digital employee experience (DEX) platforms such as Nexthink.

• Ability to speak Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese - a meaningful plus given the team's support across the Americas.

What Success Looks Like

In your first 30 days, you have a clear understanding of the asset lifecycle - the processes, the flows, and the tools. You know how work moves through the team and where you fit in it.

At 60 days, you are actively participating in those processes and using the tools hands-on. You are not just observing - you are doing, asking good questions, and building confidence with every interaction.

At 90 days, you are proficient and working independently. The team trusts you to manage your workload, your records are accurate, and users feel heard and informed throughout every interaction.

At six months, you are a reliable contributor - someone the team counts on. You are resolving issues efficiently, keeping the knowledge base current, and bringing the energy and ownership mindset that makes everyone around you better.
