About the role

The Sr. IT Service Desk Analyst is a senior, highly independent IT support professional responsible for delivering consistent, high-quality end-user support and helping maintain strong operational performance in a 24x7 service desk environment. This role serves as a senior escalation point for complex incidents and service requests, drives work to resolution within defined SLAs, and proactively improves service desk operations through reporting, documentation, training, and small-to-mid-sized projects. The ideal candidate is self-directed, customer-focused, and comfortable taking initiative with minimal oversight while partnering effectively across IT teams to restore service quickly and prevent recurring issues.

This is a hybrid position that requires 3 days a week in our Las Vegas, NV office and reports directly to the Manager, IT Service Desk.

Responsibilities

• Resolve incidents and service requests received via ticketing tool, phone, and email with a focus on courteous, timely, and effective customer service.
• Own follow-through on open tickets: monitor progress, communicate updates, and drive issues to resolution within defined SLAs.
• Act as a senior escalation resource for complex, high-impact, or persistent issues; coordinate with other IT teams as needed to restore service.
• Ensure accurate ticket documentation including problem description, troubleshooting performed, resolution details, and appropriate categorization.
• Provide in-person and remote end-user support, including troubleshooting hardware, software, and connectivity issues.
• Perform hands-on desktop support activities such as installing and upgrading software, installing hardware, configuring systems/applications, and implementing or validating file backup activities.
• Support Windows and MacBook operating systems and hardware.
• Support end-user productivity tools including web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and Microsoft 365 apps with Copilot (Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams), as well as workstation backup software.
• Support VDI environments in AWS Workspaces and thin clients running Windows IoT.
• Maintain and audit Active Directory user and computer accounts, access, and groups.
• Support offboarding activities as required, including removing access to applications and Active Directory groups in alignment with internal processes.
• Create and maintain ServiceNow reports for tracking and measuring incidents and service requests; communicate trends and insights to stakeholders as needed.
• Identify recurring issues and recommend improvements to reduce repeat tickets and improve end-user experience.
• Contribute to documentation and process improvements that increase consistency, quality, and speed of resolution.
• Identify, recommend, develop, and deliver end-user training initiatives to improve self-sufficiency and reduce common ticket drivers.
• Contribute to knowledge content (procedures, FAQs, how-to guidance) to support operational consistency and shift-left/self-service practices where appropriate.
• Follow internal IT processes and procedures aligned to ITIL, ISO 27001, QMS 9000, and other applicable compliance frameworks.
• Collaborate with other departments to identify and/or procure software for internal staff.
• Routinely assess the environment against technology trends and make recommendations as appropriate.
• Provide coverage for IT personnel as requested (including filling shifts, supporting absences, or supporting workload spikes).

What Success Looks Like

• High ownership and responsiveness: tickets are progressed consistently, updates are clear, and SLAs are met.
• Strong escalation handling: complex issues are coordinated effectively across IT teams and resolved with solid documentation.
• Improved service quality: reporting and trend analysis lead to measurable improvements (fewer repeat tickets, faster resolution, better user experience).
• Proactive contribution: the analyst independently identifies improvements, drives small projects, and strengthens documentation/training with minimal direction.

Requirements

• 5 years of IT experience supporting workstation computers on Windows and Mac platforms.
• Demonstrated progressive experience leading work in a technical support environment (mentoring, acting as escalation, coordinating work, or supervising).
• Experience supporting an environment of at least 500+ employees.
• Experience working in a team-oriented, collaborative environment.

Skills

• Strong customer service mindset with excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong knowledge of end-user productivity tools and workstation applications (Microsoft 365, OneDrive, Teams, browsers).
• Ability to prioritize and execute effectively in a high-pressure environment.
• Self-directed and proactive: able to take initiative, work independently, and drive tasks/projects to completion with little support.
• Strong judgment and accountability when handling escalations, sensitive access requests, and operational priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge of ServiceNow administration and reporting.
• Relevant certifications (ITIL, MCSA, MCSE, or other applicable IT certifications).

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• Disability insurance
