About the role

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for Tier 1 IT inquiries and requests. Manage daily ticket operations efficiently, providing clear, empathetic, and timely resolutions to technical issues (application, laptop, and workstation support) reported by employees.

Ensure all IT operations strictly align with corporate security policies, compliance guidelines, and the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) required for our broader global enterprise and affiliate networks.

  • Troubleshoot, maintain, and upgrade operating systems (macOS), Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, and other enterprise applications.
