You'll serve as an escalation point for the service desk, working across Microsoft and Google environments, endpoint management, local servers, and printer management systems. You'll also mentor Tier 1 and field technicians, sharing your knowledge and helping the team resolve more issues independently.

• Support Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, endpoint management, local servers, and printer management systems.
• Provide remote support through ticket and call queues, keeping clients informed throughout the resolution process.
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor for Tier 1 technicians and field engineers.
• Coach teammates on troubleshooting methods and help them build confidence handling issues independently.
• Build trusted relationships with school clients through responsive communication and personalized support.
• Visit local schools when hands-on support is needed.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in a Tier 2 help desk, systems administration, or IT support role.
• Working knowledge of Google Workspace and Microsoft technologies.
• Familiarity with mobile device management or endpoint management tools.
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and customer service skills.
• Interest in mentoring technicians and sharing technical knowledge.
• Ability to pass the required CGIS background check.
• Salary range of $60,000-$70,000, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
• Company vehicle.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off, including time for training.
• Up to $1,500 in training reimbursement.
• Bonus opportunities.
• Supportive team culture and room to grow as the person currently in this role is being promoted.
