Responsibilities

Escalated Incident and Service Request Management

Own complex and escalated incidents and service requests from Tier I through resolution, including issues affecting multiple users, systems, or locations.
Assess and adjust ticket priority and urgency based on business impact, proactively manage at-risk work, and maintain SLA compliance.
Ensure escalated tickets include complete diagnostic information and meet established quality standards; return incomplete tickets and coach Tier I analysts on proper ticket handling and escalation practices.
Communicate status, business impact, and expected resolution timelines clearly to users and stakeholders during extended or high-visibility incidents.

Advanced Troubleshooting and Root-Cause Resolution

Perform advanced troubleshooting across Windows operating systems, Microsoft 365, enterprise applications, endpoint software, hardware, peripherals, mobile devices, connectivity, device configuration, compatibility issues, and performance degradation.
Diagnose issues involving dependencies across devices, applications, networks, and enterprise systems, including undocumented issues or situations requiring judgment beyond standard procedures.
Conduct structured root-cause analysis for recurring or high-impact incidents, identify patterns and systemic issues, document findings, and contribute to long-term solutions that reduce repeat incidents and overall ticket volume.
Partner with Tier I analysts to improve fixes and guidance, and provide detailed diagnostic context to Systems, Network, Security, Application, and Problem Management teams to accelerate resolution.

Endpoint, Device, and Asset Lifecycle Support

Install, configure, support, and troubleshoot desktops, laptops, mobile devices, printers, scanners, conferencing equipment, peripherals, and specialized device setups through both remote and on-site support.
Support endpoint management activities, including imaging, configuration enforcement, patch management, update compliance, software deployment, packaging, monitoring, and performance validation.
Manage the full device lifecycle, including provisioning, configuration, upgrades, refresh cycles, repairs, warranty coordination, decommissioning, and secure disposal.
Ensure devices meet security and configuration standards before deployment, maintain accurate asset records, reconcile physical inventory with asset systems, and support large-scale deployment and refresh initiatives.

Security, Compliance, and Operational Standards

Triage endpoint-related security alerts in coordination with Security teams and support remediation of vulnerable, non-compliant, or unhealthy devices.
Follow and reinforce ITIL-aligned incident, request, escalation, and documentation processes while maintaining accurate and complete records that support audit readiness.
Promote consistent Service Desk standards across tiers and contribute to a structured, standardized, and process-driven support environment.

Knowledge Management and Tier I Enablement

Create, maintain, and improve knowledge base articles covering complex issue resolution, new or undocumented issues, workarounds, and known errors.
Translate technical resolutions into clear, repeatable guidance that improves Tier I troubleshooting, documentation, diagnostic quality, and escalation decisions.
Mentor Tier I analysts, share troubleshooting techniques and best practices, and serve as a point of escalation for both technical issues and process clarification.

Customer Experience and Communication

Handle escalated and high-impact user interactions with professionalism and empathy, explain technical issues in clear, non-technical language, set realistic expectations, and provide timely updates through resolution.

Service Improvement and Cross-Functional Collaboration

Collaborate with Infrastructure, Network, Security, Application, and other IT teams, serving as the liaison between the Service Desk and these functions for escalated incidents and coordinated major-incident response.
Identify inefficiencies in Service Desk processes, workflows, tools, and ticket structures, and contribute to automation, ITSM improvements, reporting enhancements, and endpoint-management optimization.
Support continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen service quality, increase efficiency, improve customer experience, and reduce unnecessary escalations.
