Job Description

We are looking for a Desktop Support Analyst to provide technology assistance for a wide range of IT services to our colleagues, over the phone, remotely, and in person. Being in a customer support role, you will have the opportunity to identify the technology needs of your colleagues and provide feedback to your management and the technology team. You will be proactive in resolving issues and find ways to enhance efficiency and quality of service to our colleagues.

You Are:

Customer oriented - You will need to be able to deliver a high level of customer support and training to employees at all levels of the company, and explain and resolve complex technical issues to a non-technical audience. You possess excellent customer service and interpersonal skills. In this role, you are the face of the Technology Team and the first person to provide assistance on a technology issue.

A self-starter - You are quick to respond to operational tasks and are able to find opportunities for process improvement and work with the Help Desk and greater Technology Team to achieve these goals. You possess the time management skills to prioritize your tasks.

A natural problem solver - You identify challenges, analyze the root causes, seek to understand rationale behind current setups, and offer changes to improve where needed.

Able to take ownership of tasks and see them to their resolution - When gaps in processes or a lack of accountability are identified, you take ownership and ensure that these needs are met.

Comfortable with a wide array of technology – We are responsible for supporting a number of technology systems and provide comprehensive support to employees that require support.

A team player – You will be working with teammates and supporting colleagues in multiple office locations.

Being based in our Washington DC Office, you will be part of a local technology team and responsible for providing effective technology support to the Washington DC Office colleagues as well as remote support to colleagues in other locations.

Periodic travel to our other offices is required. You will also work with the greater technology team and will need to be able to take into account differing office cultures and communication styles.
