Job description
We are a managed service provider supporting businesses across a wide range of industries. We’re looking for an experienced help desk technician who already knows the MSP pace: many clients, many environments, and a ticket queue that never sleeps.
You’ll work primarily from home as a key part of our support team. Clients rely on you to resolve issues quickly, communicate clearly, and document everything. Some on-site work at client locations is required, so we prefer candidates in the Phoenix Metro area.

- Triage, prioritize, and resolve tickets within SLA targets, escalating to senior engineers when needed
- Troubleshoot Windows and POS workstations, printers, peripherals, and common business applications
- Administer Microsoft 365: user onboarding and offboarding, licensing, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive
- Manage Active Directory and Entra ID accounts, password resets, MFA, group membership, and permissions
- Support basic networking issues: DNS, DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi, switches, and firewalls
- Use RMM and PSA tools to monitor endpoints, deploy patches, and track time and ticket notes
- Respond to security alerts from endpoint protection and email security tools, following escalation procedures
- Write and maintain clear documentation in our knowledge base and client documentation platform
- Deliver friendly, professional customer service and keep clients informed until issues are resolved
- Travel to client sites in the Phoenix Metro area as required for hardware setup or hands-on troubleshooting
- Participate in a rotating after-hours on-call schedule

- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN
- Ability to manage multiple tickets across many clients and prioritize by urgency and SLA
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including explaining technical issues to non-technical users
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently from home
