Job description

The End User Support Specialist delivers structured, high-quality end-user technology support across assigned business units, ensuring a reliable and consistent client experience across endpoint, workplace, and user lifecycle services.

The role operates within a defined support model where Service Desk owns front-line support, including intake, triage, and resolution within defined scope; End User Support Specialists own structured execution for escalated and onsite support activities; End User Compute (EUC) owns endpoint platforms and standards; and the End User Support Specialist Lead defines and enforces workflows.

This is a role focused on controlled execution, workplace readiness, and support quality. It does not own endpoint engineering, platform design, or infrastructure change approval.

Role Scope and Primary Accountability

• Deliver reliable execution of end-user incidents, requests, and support tasks within agreed service boundaries.
• Own support cases end-to-end, maintaining clear communication, user engagement, and accurate ITSM tracking.
• Execute joiner, mover, leaver (JML) activities in a controlled, auditable, and standards-aligned manner.
• Maintain endpoint, meeting room, and workplace technology readiness across supported locations.
• Provide structured high-touch support for executive interactions, business-critical meetings, and events.
• Escalate non-standard or out-of-scope issues through the correct operational and technical channels.
• Identify repeat issues, service friction, and workflow gaps to support continuous improvement and service stability.

Operational standards are defined by the Client Support Operations Lead. Endpoint platform design and standards remain with EUC. Line management accountability sits with the Client Support Team Lead.

Support device setup, replacement, refresh, decommissioning, and recovery activities in alignment with EUC standards, asset controls, and approved deployment approaches.

Operate within agreed workflows, decision boundaries, and escalation models. Reinforce repeatable ways of working and reduce dependence on ad hoc support practices.
