This is a role where clear communication, taking initiative, and staying calm under pressure are essential.

You’ll be joining a friendly, supportive team of experienced Support Analysts, working on a mature product that helps customers provide frictionless, secure, and reliable payment services to their citizens.

• Resolve issues in line with agreed service level agreements (SLAs).
• Work closely with the Development team to manage product defects and change requests.
• Keep customers fully informed of progress, managing expectations effectively.
• Escalate major issues promptly and keep key internal stakeholders updated.
• Build productive relationships with customers and internal teams.
• Support customer site visits when required.
• Assist with product testing during release cycles.

Requirements

• Experience working in a 2nd-line software support or IT Service Desk environment.
• Background supporting financial systems or payment software (highly desirable).
• Strong understanding of P1–P4 incident handling and ticket management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and manage competing priorities.
• Confident managing difficult or high‑pressure customer situations.
• Strong organisational and problem‑solving skills.
• IT confident across MS Office and web‑based applications.

Preferred Skills

• Experience supporting local government or public sector customers.
• Exposure to cloud‑based software solutions or payment platforms.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex issues.
