- Use built-in Windows tools such as Task Manager, Event Viewer, and other diagnostic utilities to investigate issues.
- Own support tickets from initial triage through resolution, documenting steps and outcomes clearly.
- Escalate issues when appropriate and collaborate with other technical teams as needed.
- Contribute to internal documentation and knowledge resources to support consistent issue resolution.
- Communicate clearly with English-speaking users and stakeholders across different time zones.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience providing application and desktop support in a fast-paced environment
- C1 level English or equivalent proficiency
- Advanced troubleshooting skills for Windows 10/11, Mac OS, and the Microsoft Office suite (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams)
- Proficiency with Microsoft native tools and utilities for resolving system issues
- Experience supporting Windows desktop environments.
- Experience working with ticketing systems or structured support queues.
- Ability to troubleshoot issues methodically and explain technical concepts clearly.
- Professional-level English communication skills.
- Availability to work flexible schedules, including occasional evenings or weekends.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Office 365 administration or advanced Outlook troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with networking fundamentals and basic connectivity troubleshooting.
- Exposure to PowerShell for troubleshooting or basic automation tasks.
- Experience supporting users in high-volume or fast-changing environments.
Career Development:
This role provides opportunities for growth into more advanced technical, operational, or service delivery roles based on performance, technical capability, and demonstrated ownership.
