• Network access and basic connectivity (Wi‑Fi, VPN, remote access)
• Basic device and account support
• Contribute to continuous improvement by:
  • Accurately categorizing and tagging tickets
  • Converting repeat issues into knowledge base articles
  • Providing feedback to improve AI accuracy and self‑service effectiveness
• Perform Level 1 identity and access tasks in line with policy:
  • Password resets, account unlocks, MFA setup and troubleshooting
  • Standard access requests using predefined roles and workflows
  • Support onboarding/offboarding processes to ensure colleagues have the right access at the right time.
  • Follow identity verification procedures rigorously.
• Opportunities for automation, standardization, or experience improvement support initiatives focused on raising service quality, improving first‑contact resolution, and reducing repeat incidents.

What You Bring

• Basic Knowledge & Learning Foundation
• Basic understanding of IT support or service desk concepts (academic, project, or internship experience acceptable)

• Knowledge of Cloud productivity tools such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace

• Interest in AI tools, automation, and modern IT systems
