  • Maintain an up-to-date knowledge base to assist in quick issue resolution.
  • Log and track all technical issues in the CRM.
  • Prioritise and manage support requests based on urgency and impact.
  • Escalate unresolved issues to higher-level support teams and ensure proper follow-up.
  • Ensure that all incidents are resolved within agreed service levels (SLAs).
  • Provide excellent customer service by maintaining a friendly, professional, and helpful approach.
  • Ensure timely communication with users to keep them informed about the status of their issues.
  • Perform routine checks and basic system maintenance tasks to ensure optimal performance of hardware and software.
  • Collaborate with colleagues and other departments to ensure effective issue resolution and improve the overall user experience.

Requirements:

  • Previous experience in a technical support or helpdesk role is a plus.
  • Strong understanding of basic support applications (Windows, PBXware, Gamma, Front, Hubspot), 
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical users.
  • Customer focused attitude with a passion for helping others.
  • Basic knowledge of networking & hardware troubleshooting
