Primary Role Focus

The Service Desk Analyst (12 Month Fixed Term Contract) provides advanced remote technical support, serving as a vital link between Level 1 and Level 2 support. This role is responsible for resolving technical issues that are more complex than those typically handled by a Service Desk Analyst, such as advanced software, hardware, and connectivity problems. Additionally, the role supports escalations that do not require onsite presence, ensuring that remote employees receive effective solutions and that service standards are maintained across the team.

• Assist with remote configuration and validation of IT equipment for new employee onboarding . Remotely set up and check devices for new starters, ensuring correct configuration and access.
• Support and maintain remote AV systems and meeting room technologies (where feasible). Troubleshoot virtual meeting and AV issues for remote users; elevate onsite problems as needed.
• Contribute to knowledge base articles and documentation for recurring issues and solutions . Document solutions and update guides to improve team efficiency and user self-service.
• Monitor incident and request queues, ensuring timely resolution and escalation as needed . Review and prioritise requests, escalating urgent or unresolved issues appropriately.
• Collaborate with Onsite Support Engineers and other IT teams to resolve complex issues . Work with other IT teams to resolve multi-faceted problems and share information.
• Maintain high standards of customer service and communication, ensuring user satisfaction . Communicate clearly with users, keep them informed, and seek feedback for service improvement.
• Identify trends in support requests and recommend proactive solutions . Analyse support data to spot recurring issues and suggest process or system improvements.

Qualifications

• ITIL V3 or V4 Foundations (preferred, not mandatory but highly beneficial).
• Superior communication skills with a proven ability to convey complex technical information in clear, non-technical language.
• Demonstrated excellence in customer service within fast-paced corporate and IT settings, consistently delivering an outstanding user experience.
• Strong capability to operate both independently and collaboratively, utilizing effective problem-solving skills to address challenges.
• Self-motivated with a positive demeanour, maintaining high performance under pressure.
• Highly organized with meticulous attention to detail and a dedicated work ethic.
• Solid understanding of ITIL frameworks, including incident, service request, problem, and change management processes.
