• Manage stakeholder communications, providing clear, timely, and audience-appropriate incident updates to regional IT leadership and business sponsors.
• Partner with Problem Management to perform root-cause analyses, identify systemic risks, and implement corrective action plans that reduce repeat incidents.

• Serve as the escalation point for Level 1 support, resolving complex end-user issues related to hardware, software, network connectivity, and remote access.

• Install, upgrade, and troubleshoot business applications and peripherals, ensuring compatibility, security, and adherence to corporate standards.
• Execute password resets, permission audits, and group policy updates in accordance with security policies and compliance requirements.
• Serve as the escalation point to Level 3 specialists for the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of endpoint hardware and mobile devices—ensuring tasks such as OS imaging, patch management, and asset lifecycle tracking via MDM/Intune are executed by the appropriate technical experts.
• Escalate complex business application and peripheral installations, upgrades, and troubleshooting to Level 3 support, guaranteeing that compatibility, security, and corporate standards are upheld by dedicated senior engineers and field office IT professionals.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Mentor and guide field office IT staff on global support processes, fostering consistent service delivery and technical excellence.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive knowledge articles, standard operating procedures, and technical runbooks to accelerate incident resolution and promote self-service.
• Analyze incident and ticket metrics to identify trends, drive service optimizations, and report on SLA compliance and user satisfaction.
• Support deployment of monitoring and alerting solutions, integrating proactive notifications into the incident management framework.

KNOWLEDGE/QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE ROLE:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Requires experience and in-depth knowledge of business operations and systems requirements processes.
• ITIL Foundation certification (mandatory); advanced ITSM, Problem Management, and Change Management exposure preferred.
• Expertise in Windows OS, Microsoft 365 (Exchange, Teams, SharePoint), Active Directory, and endpoint management tools (Intune/SCCM).
• Proficient in network troubleshooting (VPN, LAN/WAN), remote desktop technologies, and basic scripting/automation (PowerShell).
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to translate technical details into executive-level insights.
• Customer-first orientation and analytical mindset, balancing business impact with technical urgency.
