• Support user onboarding and offboarding processes including account provisioning and deprovisioning in identity platforms (Google Workspace, Okta, or Microsoft Entra)
• Troubleshoot L1 and L2 connectivity issues including Wi-Fi, VPN, and basic VLAN-related problems, escalating to FTE Systems Administrators as needed
• Assist with hardware asset management including inventory tracking, asset tagging, and lifecycle documentation
• Support conference room AV equipment maintenance, including troubleshooting displays, video conferencing systems, and audio hardware
• Create and maintain Helpdesk documentation, runbooks, and knowledge base articles to support team efficiency and knowledge sharing
• Collaborate with FTE IT Systems Administrators on projects spanning endpoint management, identity and access management, SaaS administration, and security

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a related field
• Foundational understanding of operating systems including macOS, Windows, or Linux (coursework or personal experience counts)
• Basic understanding of networking concepts such as TCP/IP, DNS, and DHCP
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to support a diverse, non-technical user base with patience and empathy
• Eagerness to learn, take initiative on Helpdesk tasks, and collaborate effectively with full-time IT team members

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior Helpdesk, IT support, or customer-facing technical support experience (internship, part-time, or volunteer experience welcome)
• Familiarity with an MDM platform such as Jamf, Intune, or Kandji
• Experience with Google Workspace, Slack, or Zoom administration
• Basic scripting knowledge in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automating routine IT tasks
• Familiarity with identity and access management concepts such as SSO, MFA, and user lifecycle management
