- Provide technical coaching, mentoring, and performance guidance to Service Desk Analysts. This includes reviewing their customer interactions, providing feedback on process adherence, and assisting with Tier 1 duties as needed to ensure coverage and hands-on training.
- Serve as the primary escalation point for Service Desk Analysts. Provide advanced computer troubleshooting, analysis, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills for complex or priority support issues.
- Review escalated tickets, provide advanced support for Tier 2 Incidents and complex Service Requests, and assist analysts in handling critical Incidents, ensuring rapid resolution within established SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and policies.
- Identify, document, and advocate for continuous process improvement opportunities across support operations. Develop and maintain clear, up-to-date resolutions and procedural documentation to strengthen Knowledge Management, minimize future escalations, and enhance overall service efficiency. A key focus includes increasing First Call Resolution by empowering Service Desk technicians to resolve Tier 1 and Tier 2 tickets through improved guidance, training, and streamlined workflows that enable issues to be addressed at the earliest point of contact.
- Receive, log, handle preliminary communications, and properly route calls and requests for the larger IT team. This includes accurate classification of contacts as either Incidents or Service Requests.
- Own the Customer Service experience and maintain ownership and advocacy for the customer on issues lacking a clear responsible party until successful resolution is received. Ensure that all Incidents and Service Requests are properly closed out with the customer.
