Key responsibilities include:
- Providing advanced, hands-on technical support and resolving complex issues (Tier 2/3), including root-cause analysis and durable fixes.
- Owning escalations end-to-end: reproduce issues, gather logs, coordinate with internal teams as needed, and communicate clear technical updates to clients and stakeholders.
- Creating and maintaining technical documentation (KB articles, runbooks, and standard procedures) and identifying recurring issues for automation or permanent remediation.
Technical Leadership & Mentorship (No Direct Reports)
- Provide technical guidance, peer review, and mentoring to service desk technicians; this role does not include formal people management or direct reports.
- Foster a positive and professional team culture aligned with company values.
Service Delivery Support (Administrative / Coordination)
- Support day-to-day service desk workflow (in partnership with the coordinator/manager) by helping prioritize technical escalations and ensuring accurate ticket notes and customer updates.
- Maintain high technical quality and a customer-first experience through thorough troubleshooting, clear communication, and timely resolution.
- Lead technical resolution for high-impact incidents by triaging, isolating root cause, coordinating technical resources as needed, and documenting outcomes and preventive actions.
