Service Desk Analyst II


Role Description

If you believe that a smile and positive attitude can come shining through during a simple phone call, then you should apply to join our team as a Service Desk Analyst.

Passion for people, patience, and a knack for problem-solving are key attributes of our Service Desk Analyst’s personality. While you’ll have plenty of back-up when you need it, you’ll earn the moniker “Dr. IT” with your ability to diagnose and cure the technical ills of our clients.

Under general supervision, our Service Desk Analysts work in a fast-paced call center environment. They diagnose problems and provide support to end users for PC, server, applications and hardware. Your success will be judged in part by your ability to resolve issues over the phone in a professional manner and knowing when to escalate more complicated issues to other support teams. You will interact with other IT teams, including network services, systems engineers, and/or applications development to restore service and/or identify and correct core problems. You’ll expect to have the ability to simulate or re-create user issues to resolve operating difficulties and learn new knowledge base processes as they become live. You’ll need to maintain currency and a high level of technical skill in your field of expertise but know that more complex issues can be escalated for resolution in a timely fashion.
