• User Support & CSAT: Deliver accurate, timely, and secure solutions to maintain a Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score of 4.5 or higher.
• Proactive Problem-Solving: Identify root causes, recognize recurring threats or application issues, and propose long-term fixes, self-service opportunities, or automation to prevent future tickets.
• Security & Access Monitoring: Serve as an extra layer of defense by recognizing potential security risks, handling routine access/identity management requests, and properly escalating security incidents to the Information Security team.
• Continuous Improvement: Receive constructive feedback positively, share knowledge with teammates, and suggest ongoing improvements to service desk workflows.
