• Execute end-to-end provisioning, modification, offboarding, and asset recovery across core systems (Okta, Active Directory, Google Workspace, ConductorOne) and enterprise tools (Slack, M365, 1Password, YubiKey).
• Configure, stage, and deploy macOS and Windows laptops using Workspace ONE MDM alongside managing local hardware inventory, spares, and peripheral requests.
• Verify device security compliance during support interactions, ensuring active status for ZCC, FileVault/BitLocker encryption, CrowdStrike agents, and OS updates.
• Author SOPs and KB documentation, collaborate with L2 teams on root cause analysis for recurring issues, support ServiceNow workflow automations, and coordinate global shift handovers.

Who You Are (Success Profile)

• Acts Like an Owner: Takes end-to-end accountability for assigned tickets, following up proactively with end-users until full resolution.
• Customer-Centric Problem Solver: Combines technical rigor with empathy, delivering clear and transparent communication to maintain high CSAT.
• Thrives in a Fast-Paced Environment: Adept at prioritizing urgent/VIP requests while managing active queue volume.
• Security & Compliance Minded: Instinctively applies Least Privilege principles and verifies Zero Trust endpoint posture on every support interaction.
• Continuous Learner: Eager to expand technical knowledge across cloud security, identity governance, and AI-driven support automation.

What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

• Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain, alongside familiarity with leveraging AI tools (e.g., Gemini, ChatGPT, AI ticket assistants) to accelerate troubleshooting and documentation.
• 3-6 years of experience in an IT Helpdesk, ServiceDesk, or Technical Support role within a global enterprise, featuring hands-on proficiency with ServiceNow (incident, service request, and queue management) or equivalent workflow tools.
• Working knowledge of Okta (MFA, SSPR, policy checks), Active Directory, and governance platforms like ConductorOne.
• Proficient in troubleshooting macOS and Windows 10/11, with exposure to Workspace ONE (AirWatch) or equivalent MDM solutions.
• Experience supporting Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive, Calendar), Microsoft 365, Zoom, and password managers (1Password), supported by a solid understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, and local network diagnostics.

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
