Familiarity with Windows and/or Mac operating systems.

## Description

Provide rapid, reliable technical support across hardware, networking, and systems to keep
Creature's teams productive. You'll respond to user issues, troubleshoot problems, and escalate
appropriately. This is hands-on technical work where speed, accuracy, and clear communication
matter every day.

Core Accountabilities
Daily Break-Fix & User Support
Own the ticket queue. Respond to hardware, software, and connectivity issues with urgency.
Troubleshoot at the root, document solutions, and close tickets with accuracy. If you can't solve
it, escalate clearly to the IT Manager.
Hardware & Equipment Management
Support hardware deployment, setup, and maintenance. Image machines, manage peripherals,
inventory equipment, and coordinate with vendors on repairs or replacements.
Basic Network Support
Assist with network troubleshooting, connectivity issues, and device configuration. Work within
established network architecture under the IT Manager's direction.
Systems & Documentation
Maintain accurate ticketing records. Document problems and solutions so patterns emerge and
knowledge builds. Keep system documentation current.
IT Onboarding Support
Set up new hire equipment, provision access, verify systems work, and confirm user readiness
on Day 1.

What Exceptional Execution Looks Like
You close tickets fast and right-users don't come back with the same problem twice. Hardware
flows smoothly: new equipment is ready on time, repairs are tracked, inventory is accurate. You
know when to escalate and do it clearly, with full context for the IT Manager. Your
documentation helps the team learn from recurring issues. You're reliable-people trust you to
show up, solve the problem, and communicate clearly.

Traits That Define Success
Ownership
Own your tickets and your response time. If you don't know something, find out-don't guess.
Bias for Speed
Users are waiting. Troubleshoot methodically but move fast.
Conscientiousness
Document what you fixed and why so the next person (or next time) has the answer.
Clear Communication
Explain technical issues to non-technical people without condescension. Tell users what to do
and why.
Reliability
Show up, follow through, take care of details.
