As our new IT Support Analyst, you will:

• Deliver end-to-end technical support. You will provide Level 1 and Level 2 technical support to end users across desktop, mobile, and remote environments. You will troubleshoot and resolve a wide range of issues spanning hardware, operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux), end-user applications, and peripherals.

You will promote consistent ticketing practices, support internal knowledge sharing, and assist with device rollouts, pilot programs, migrations, and organization-wide technology changes. You will also deliver hands-on training to staff, including those who require extra support or reassurance with foundational tools such as email and printing.

What you bring:

• The experience. You have a customer-first approach and are driven to empower users with the knowledge they need to use technology effectively. You communicate clearly, calmly, and patiently with non-technical users, providing step-by-step guidance when needed. You build trust through collaboration and have experience producing documentation, SOPs, and user-facing guidance that support consistent adoption. You have experience supporting multi-site IT environments, managing service requests through ITSM platforms such as Jira Service Management, and owning issues from initial report through resolution.
• The technical skills. You have hands-on experience troubleshooting Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, supporting endpoint devices, peripherals, and mobile platforms. You administer Microsoft 365 services (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Office apps) and manage Azure AD for user provisioning, licensing, and access controls.
