## Description

This is a contract-to-perm opportunity. During your first 12 months, you'll learn our applications and ramp toward contributing independently. Within 2-3 years, strong performers are considered for Senior Associate, working with team leaders to train others and shape how we use the Microsoft and industry tools in our environment.

A candid note: Many talented network, hardware, and infrastructure engineers find this work very different from what they did before. It's support for a suite of proprietary applications, mostly by email, not racks and routers. We'd rather you know that now. People who stay tell us it's the team, the leadership, and the chance to keep learning.

What you'll do

 * Investigate and resolve support requests across multiple proprietary applications, mostly by email and occasionally by phone
 * Reproduce issues, ask focused questions, and explain solutions clearly to non-technical users
 * Own requests from first response through resolution, and escalate with complete documentation when needed
 * Build working knowledge of each application over time, starting with M365 Suite (Outlook, PPT, Word);SharePoint, Azure, OneNote, AI tools (Claude, Gen AI)
 * Identify recurring issues and help implement improvements to processes, documentation, and tooling
 * Learn the Microsoft and industry tools in our environment and help streamline our work
 * Over time, help train new team members and support team leaders on technical initiatives
