About The Role

We are a leading global financial institution seeking an elite technical support professional to join our Executive Support team in Bengaluru.

• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve issues across a broad range of devices and platforms with urgency and precision
• Educate end users on hardware, software, and access request processes in a consultative, approachable manner
• Monitor client satisfaction, escalate wide-impact issues proactively, and ensure continuity through proper incident management
• Uphold compliance with organizational frameworks, disaster recovery, and business continuity standards
• Identify process improvement opportunities and contribute feedback that elevates team performance

What You Bring

• 3–6 years of hands-on experience in technical or executive support environments
• CompTIA A+ certification (or equivalent demonstrated proficiency)
• Outstanding communication skills — written, verbal, and interpersonal
• Deep familiarity with Microsoft 365 suite: Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint
• Experience with ServiceNow or a comparable enterprise ticketing platform
• A service-first mindset with the ability to remain composed under pressure
• Flexibility to work variable schedules and participate in an on-call rotation
