The Role

Your mission as a Support Analyst is to be a hands‑on technical problem solver who resolves complex support tickets and security incidents, getting our clients back up and running fast.

• Become a trusted escalation point for junior support analysts, providing guidance and insight to less experienced members of the team on their day‑to‑day tickets
