About The Position

HUB’s IT organization manages thousands of escalated incidents and service requests each year, including access issues, application errors, onboarding problems, and fulfillment gaps.

Working under the guidance of the Service Delivery Analyst and SMO escalation managers, this role helps triage and route incoming escalations, keep end users informed, support onboarding and offboarding coordination, and assist with hardware provisioning. This is a hands-on, task-focused role ideal for someone building a career in IT service delivery who is eager to learn established processes and grow into broader responsibilities.
