Position Summary

This role sits between traditional help desk support and systems administration — ideal for someone who has outgrown tier-1 support and is building toward a systems administration career but isn't yet ready for a full Systems Administrator title. You'll provide end-user support, manage day-to-day IT operations, and get exposure to broader systems administration work as you grow.
This is a hands-on, generalist IT role. You'll work closely with our Solutions Architect and IT Director, supporting employees across the UK and collaborating with IT colleagues in other regions.
What You'll Do
- Provide end-user support for hardware, software, and account issues via our ticketing system
- Administer and support Active Directory and Microsoft 365 (user accounts, permissions, mailboxes, licensing)
- Support and troubleshoot cloud collaboration tools (OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint)
- Manage and resolve tickets in our ITSM platform, ensuring accurate documentation and timely resolution
- Perform basic scripting/automation tasks (PowerShell, Python) to streamline repetitive IT tasks
- Support identity and access management processes, including Okta administration
- Maintain basic security hygiene practices (access reviews, patching support, endpoint basics)
- Assist with onboarding/offboarding processes, including account provisioning and equipment setup
- Escalate and collaborate with senior IT staff on more complex systems administration issues
- Maintain accurate records and reporting related to IT assets, tickets, and system changes
