Job description
We’re looking for a Helpdesk Technician Lead who has a solid technology foundation and a real drive to grow. This is an entry point, not a dead end.
You’ll be the first point of contact for our clients: troubleshooting everyday issues, escalating what you can’t solve, and learning the ropes of enterprise IT support in a fast-paced MSP environment.
What you’ll do
- Field inbound support tickets and calls from client end-users via our ticketing system, phone, and App.
- Troubleshoot and resolve common issues: password resets, printer/hardware problems, software installs, connectivity, Microsoft 365 support, and basic networking
- Document all work clearly and consistently
- Escalate complex issues with clear, organized notes
- Follow up with clients to ensure resolution and satisfaction
- Maintain and update client documentation and asset records
- Assist with onboarding/offboarding, basic user account administration, and routine maintenance tasks
- Identify recurring issues and suggest process or documentation improvements
Requirements
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tickets/priorities at once
- A strong foundation in core technology concepts (Windows OS, Microsoft 365, basic networking, hardware troubleshooting)
- Genuine curiosity and a desire to keep learning and take on more responsibility over time
- Excellent communication skills, being comfortable explaining technical issues to non-technical clients, both written and verbal
- A team-first, customer-focused attitude
- Prior experience leading or mentoring a team (in any setting)
- 2 years of IT support experience
