Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Help Desk/Desktop Support Analyst to provide advanced technical support for end users in Newport, Rhode Island. This position is suited for a hands-on, detail-oriented individual who can diagnose complex issues across desktops, collaboration platforms, identity tools, and network-connected environments while delivering a high standard of service. The role also requires clear communication, strong documentation habits, and the ability to support both everyday user needs and higher-priority escalations effectively.
Responsibilities:
- Provide high-level desk-side and remote support for hardware, software, account access, and connectivity issues across a multi-system environment.
- Act as an escalation point for complex incidents, independently investigating root causes and driving issues through resolution with full ownership of assigned tickets.
- Administer Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, Autopilot, and Entra ID, to support user access, device management, and collaboration needs.
- Manage and troubleshoot core identity and endpoint technologies such as Active Directory, Group Policy, and Windows-based desktop environments.
- Diagnose network-related problems involving TCP/IP, VLANs, wireless infrastructure, and voice or endpoint connectivity to restore reliable user service.
- Maintain detailed service records, document troubleshooting steps, and follow established IT support procedures and compliance standards consistently.
- Deliver responsive support to employees and senior business stakeholders, adapting technical explanations to match varying levels of user experience.
- Travel between supported office locations as needed and assist with occasional on-site support requirements outside the primary office.
- Contribute to a security-focused support model by applying best practices for access control, device administration, and incident handling.
