Elements Core Values: we before me | stay curious | know your impact | bring it | own your craft | enjoy the ride About the role: As an IT Support Specialist, you will be on the front line of technology support across Elements, helping keep our people and systems running smoothly. You will manage the day-to-day helpdesk queue, troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and access issues, and serve as the first responder to incoming security alerts. It is a high-visibility role with real ownership: the people you support are designing, selling, and delivering our projects, and how quickly and effectively you get them back to work has a direct impact on their day. You will work alongside experienced IT professionals who are invested in helping you grow while gaining hands‑on exposure to a wide range of technology beyond a typical helpdesk role, from cloud identity and security to business systems and AV. Through training, mentoring, and hands‑on experience, you will have opportunities to expand your skills and grow your responsibilities over time. What you’ll do: Manage the day-to-day helpdesk queue from intake and prioritization through resolution, diagnosing hardware, software, network, and access issues and escalating with clear context when an issue requires additional support. Serve as the first responder to incoming security alerts, resolving issues where possible and escalating those that require deeper investigation. Manage onboarding and offboarding end to end, including device builds and imaging, account provisioning and deprovisioning, application access, software installation, and license assignment.

Hands‑on experience supporting both Windows and macOS in a business environment. Working knowledge of Active Directory, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 administration, including user and group management, accounts, access permissions, licenses, and mailboxes. Foundational understanding of cybersecurity best practices and basic networking concepts; exposure to endpoint security, conference room AV, device management platforms, or ERP systems is a plus. CompTIA A+, Microsoft certifications, or equivalent are also valued. A patient, genuinely helpful communicator who can explain technical issues in plain language and provide a steady, responsive experience for the people you support. Highly organized and detail‑oriented, with experience working in a ticketing system and maintaining accurate records and documentation.
