Position Summary

The Service Desk & Deskside Support Analyst is a customer-focused first point of contact for internal technology support. This role receives, records, prioritizes, troubleshoots, and resolves incidents and service requests across the organization, providing clear communication and dependable follow-through from initial contact through resolution. The analyst provides both remote and on-site support for end-user devices, applications, accounts, collaboration tools, and workplace technology services. The role follows corporate policies, security requirements, standard operating procedures, industry best practices, and service-level agreements (SLAs), escalating issues to specialized support teams when appropriate.

Service Desk Operations

Manage inbound and outbound calls, chats, emails, and tickets in a timely, professional, and customer-oriented manner. Identify user needs, clarify symptoms and business impact, and provide accurate solutions or workarounds. Use approved scripts, knowledge articles, troubleshooting guides, and diagnostic tools to resolve common issues at first contact. Create, categorize, prioritize, update, and close incidents and service requests in accordance with team workflows and SLAs. Monitor ticket queues, aging items, escalations, and service-level performance; communicate status and next steps to customers. Escalate incidents requiring specialized expertise while retaining ownership and ensuring complete handoff information.

Deskside and Endpoint Support

Provide on-site and remote support for Windows and macOS workstations, laptops, monitors, docking stations, printers, peripherals, and mobile devices. Install, configure, image, replace, and troubleshoot end-user hardware and software in accordance with approved standards. Support endpoint connectivity, Wi‑Fi, VPN, printing, conference-room technology, audio/video equipment, and other workplace technology services. Use remote-support tools to diagnose and resolve issues while protecting customer privacy and following security controls.

Troubleshoot Google Chrome and ChromeOS-related issues, including extensions, profiles, updates, printing, and connectivity. Create and maintain user guidance and knowledge articles for common Google Platform and collaboration tasks.

Incident, Request, and Problem Support

Apply sound troubleshooting methods: gather facts, reproduce issues when possible, test one change at a time, document findings, and verify the resolution with the customer. Recognize recurring issues and contribute information for problem management, root-cause analysis, and corrective or preventative actions. Support incident response and time-critical escalations by following communication, security, and emergency operating procedures. Coordinate with infrastructure, applications, identity, security, network, facilities, and vendor teams to restore service efficiently. Participate in service integration, verification, acceptance, deployment, and change-support activities as assigned.

Documentation, Security, and Continuous Improvement

Create or update documentation where it is absent, outdated, or unclear, including standard operating procedures, knowledge articles, checklists, and troubleshooting guides. Follow corporate and department security policies, data-protection requirements, access-control procedures, and standard operating procedures. Protect confidential information and handle user, device, and access data only through approved tools and processes. Recommend improvements that strengthen the customer experience, service quality, supportability, monitoring, and operational efficiency.

Perform other related duties as assigned; responsibilities may be changed or modified by the company as business needs evolve.
