JOB DESCRIPTION

An international law firm spanning across the US/Europe/Asia is looking for an onsite Tier 2 Service Desk Analyst to join their 365, 24x7 Service Desk onsite in their Palo Alto office - The shift is 830am-530pm PST. The Service Desk supports roughly 3000+ end users. This analyst will sit onsite in the Seattle WA office 5 days a week. This role will primarily focus on 1st and 2nd level support handling software issues and more complex issues that may not have a KB written and it needs to be researched. Each field office has their own Desktop techs and this role will be a part of the Service Desk team - this team is encompassed of a virtual Tier 1, a virtual Tier 2 Application Support team and now onsite Tier 2 analysts. The onsite analysts can escalate internally to the virtual Tier 2 App team or to the Desktop team as needed. It is expected that this resource will be able to handle virtual and in-person live support. This resource will serve as one of the "faces" in person for the rest of the virtual service desk, so relationship building is key in this position. We want the end users to have a local onsite technician that they know. They won't be expected to be desktop support as there is another team responsible but more so be a trusted local Service Desk member and be able to connect with end users on a personal level.
The firm is in the Top 50 largest law firms in the world; they focus on corporate, litigation, intellectual property, fund formation, public markets, employment, life sciences (#1 law firm for tech and life sciences IPOs), clean technology, real estate, financial services, retail, regulatory and energy practices.

We are seeking folks who are customer service-oriented, high energy, professional, and eager to learn new technologies. The total team of agents will be handling roughly 400-500 contacts a day (roughly 12-14/hr); roughly 33% of tickets are calls into the Service Desk, and 67% are emails coming in that will be allocated for scheduled calls. This role will require 1 day a month on the phone queue, but the majority of this role is technical research for complex issues, learning about more complex software support instances and staying up to date on new technologies being brought into their environment.
