About The Position

Knighted is looking for an IT Support Specialist to join our IT team in Dallas, TX and support the IT department and greater Knighted team.

Training will be provided to ensure skills and quality of work meet Knighted standards. This role will be based out of Dallas, TX and require you to be fully in-office. Occasional travel to other office locations will also be required.
