Responsibilities

Serve as the first point of contact via our service desk and support channels (walk-ups, email, chat): log, categorize, prioritize, resolve, or escalate with clear ticket notes and timely user updates.
Identity & access (Okta): assist with sign-in issues, MFA re-registration, factor resets, and basic SSO troubleshooting; coordinate with identity administrators for changes requiring elevated privileges.

Device deployment & management: enroll and support Macs via Jamf (with Apple Business Manager/Automated Device Enrollment) and Windows devices via Microsoft Intune; follow build standards and compliance checks.
Asset management: track inventory and assignments, maintain stock levels, and ensure accurate records for audits.
Meeting room & AV readiness: perform routine checks, provide first-line support for conference rooms and events, and coordinate vendor engagement when required.
Office operations: support office moves/expansions and new technology rollouts; perform basic network smart-hands tasks (e.g., patching/labeling under guidance).
Knowledge & quality: create/update simple “how-to” articles and quick-resolution guides to drive first-contact resolution and consistent support.
