IT Support Specialist

IT Support Specialist

Delta Dental of Arizona, the state's #1 dental and vision insurance company, is looking for a driven IT Support Specialist who thrives on creating a seamless employee experience by delivering reliable, human-centered technical support across devices, applications, and connectivity.

Reporting to the Director of IT, the IT Support Specialist serves as the first point of contact for day-to-day technical support, delivering high-quality employee experience across hardware, software, mobile devices, and network connectivity. This role owns the full lifecycle of support requests—from initial triage through resolution—while maintaining accurate ticket tracking, clear communication, and timely escalations when needed.

About You

You're the calm in the tech storm and the friendly face behind the computer. As our go-to IT Support Specialist, you're the first point of contact for everything from stubborn laptops and spotty Wi-Fi to last-minute conference room AV hiccups. You confidently juggle in-person and remote support, whether through email, Microsoft Teams, or a ticketing system, owning each request from triage to resolution with clear communication and meticulous documentation. Windows, macOS, iPads, iPhones? You've got them covered. You troubleshoot hardware, software, VPNs, O365 apps, and basic network gremlins like DNS and DHCP without breaking a sweat. You manage account provisioning, password resets, onboarding and offboarding setups, and keep inventory and standard images up to date. You're just as comfortable partnering with vendors on systems like Salesforce as you are training employees on new tools. Above all, you bring a human-centered mindset—translating tech speak into plain English, spotting opportunities to improve processes, and delivering an employee experience that's seamless, proactive, and maybe even a little delightful.
