Job Description

Job Description An employer is seeking a highly skilled Sr Helpdesk Technician to join one of our largest national and most established financial institutions in North America. In this role you'll be joining their Tier 1.75 IT support team and spending about 1/3 of your time answering calls and emails from internal financial advisors who are experiencing difficulties utilizing this client's external-facing website or new hires struggling with their permissions, equipment or access. The other 2/3 of your time will be focused on following up with clients, completing special projects, doing reports, communicating with their application support team and identifying trends. To be successful on this team you must have at least 2 years of prior experience working within a helpdesk or support level role, and ideally prior experience working as a helpdesk lead in a prior role. The ideal candidate has an A+ CompTIA certification or related IT degree and is comfortable with troubleshooting technical issues across various platforms, including Windows, iOS/Android, Outlook, Webex, and Microsoft Office. This team goes on site 4x/week in downtown Minneapolis; therefore, you must be comfortable with that commute each day. Most team members work from home on Mondays or Fridays, but per leadership approval you're welcome to work from home on a different day if that works better in your schedule. This role is slated to be a 12-month contract-to-hire role with eligibility for conversation after the initial contract duration depending on performance. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.
