  • Work with IT MSP to resolve complex technical issues quickly and with minimal disruption
  • Assist in executing specific major IT projects and infrastructure upgrades
  • Maintain current documentation of troubleshooting and resolutions in a document management system.
• Provide and participate in weekly updates to the People Operations team
• Occasional after-hours support/projects
• Take on additional duties and responsibilities as needed within the organization to address various tasks beyond traditional IT support.

What this job isn't:

• Not expected to spend your day responding to support tickets
• No direct reports coordinate and communicate expectations to MSP, nor manage their help desk

• B.S. in Information Systems, Computer Networking, Computer Science or related degree
• Minimum 1 year (3 preferred) of experience in IT Administration, technical support or MSP service roles
