About The Position

The Campus IT Support Specialist is the frontline of technology support at EF Academy’s New York campus. This role is responsible for triaging and resolving support tickets and requests from faculty, staff, and students — ensuring that the campus community can work, teach, and learn without technology getting in the way. From a student’s laptop that won’t connect to Wi-Fi, to a projector that’s not cooperating five minutes before class, to a staff member locked out of their account — this role is the first point of contact for all things tech on campus. This is a fast-paced, people-first role in a busy boarding school environment. A typical day could span everything from resetting passwords and troubleshooting classroom AV equipment to imaging new devices and documenting recurring issues. You’ll need to bring as much patience and empathy as you do technical skill. This role reports directly to the Campus Technology Director and works within EF Academy’s broader technology team, contributing to a service model that is reliable, responsive, and trusted by the entire campus community.

Requirements

1–3 years of experience in an IT support, helpdesk, or similar technical support role.

Basic understanding of networking concepts — sufficient to troubleshoot connectivity issues and work effectively with a senior technical team.
Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — account management, access provisioning, and basic troubleshooting.
Fluency in written and spoken English required.

Familiarity with MDM solutions such as Jamf or Intune is a plus.
Classroom or AV support experience is desirable.
Experience in a school, university, or other education environment is a plus, though not required.
