About the role

We're looking for an IT Support Technician to join Superscript and be the first point of contact for our people when it comes to technology.

• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware, software, access and connectivity problems.

• Log, prioritise and track every request through to resolution, keeping colleagues updated.

• Escalate complex issues to the IT Operations Specialist or external vendors with clear notes.

• Set up, deploy and collect company Mac devices for joiners, movers and leavers.

• Help keep devices patched, up to date and compliant using our endpoint management tools (e.g. Jamf).

• Keep the IT asset and device inventory accurate.

• Support colleagues with SSO and MFA set-up and sign-in issues.

• Run onboarding and offboarding IT checklists in partnership with the People team.

• Help with periodic user access reviews.

• Be the go-to person for meeting-room tech, printers, Wi-Fi and office connectivity.

• Carry out basic checks on office networking (UniFi) and extend issues to suppliers where needed.

• Support colleagues working across our London, Glasgow and Rotterdam offices and remotely.

• Triage suspected phishing emails and security concerns raised by colleagues.

• Promote good security habits through guidance and security awareness activity.

• Support evidence gathering for Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001.

• Write and maintain clear how-to guides, FAQs and support documentation.

• Give colleagues practical guidance on using company technology.

• Suggest ways to simplify and automate repetitive support tasks.

• Support IT projects, migrations and roll-outs as needed.
