We're adding a new IT Support Associate to our IT team. You'll be the first person our employees reach when they need help: a laptop that won't connect, a new hire who needs accounts by Monday, a warehouse label printer that stopped printing, an order screen showing an error. You'll own the help desk end to end and fix most requests yourself. For problems that need a specialist, you'll get them to the right one quickly, with a clear description of what's broken and who it's affecting. Our goal is that every request gets a response from a real person within minutes, not hours, and you are how we get there. This is an entry-level role with real training behind it. A senior member of the IT team will train you on our systems, and the role has room to grow into systems administration, infrastructure, and project work.
