  • Monitor ticket queues to ensure service level agreements are met
  • Follow up with users to confirm issues are fully resolved
  • Assist with basic administration of common business applications

Requirements

  • High school diploma or equivalent required, associate degree in IT or related field a plus
  • Basic understanding of computer hardware, operating systems, and common software applications
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment with minimal supervision
  • Reliable high-speed internet connection and a quiet home workspace
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Willingness to learn new tools and technologies quickly
  • Prior customer service or call center experience is a plus but not required

  • 401k retirement plan with company match
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Fully remote position with flexible scheduling options
  • Home office equipment stipend
