Summary The IT Service Desk Analyst I serves as the first point of contact for IT support, providing timely, accurate, and customer-focused resolution of common technical issues. This role owns tickets from intake through resolution or escalation, using structured troubleshooting, established processes, and knowledge resources to support end users across hardware, software, access, email, and basic network issues. The Analyst I also supports device and user lifecycle activities, maintains accurate ticket and knowledge documentation, and works closely with Tier II and other IT teams when issues require escalation. Success in this role requires strong customer service, attention to detail, process discipline, technical curiosity, and a commitment to continuously building troubleshooting skills and improving the Service Desk experience. Responsibilities Manage Service Desk tickets from intake through resolution or escalation, including accurately logging, categorizing, and prioritizing requests; documenting symptoms, troubleshooting, and resolutions; providing timely updates; meeting SLA expectations; and identifying aging tickets or those at risk of SLA breach.

Escalate complex or unresolved issues appropriately to TierII or other support teams with a clear problem statement, business impact, troubleshooting already completed, and actionable documentation; remain engaged and track escalated issues through confirmed resolution. Support knowledge management and documentation by using the knowledge base as a primary troubleshooting resource, identifying gaps or outdated information, and creating or updating standardized knowledge articles, procedures, and repeatable solutions to reduce tribal knowledge. Identify recurring issues and improvement opportunities by recognizing incident patterns, contributing to root-cause identification, and recommending improvements to documentation, automation, workflows, or processes that can reduce ticket volume and improve support delivery. Support the full end-user device lifecycle, including provisioning and configuring laptops, peripherals, and mobile devices; following standard builds and security requirements; supporting onboarding/offboarding; tracking and tagging assets; recovering equipment; and reimaging, sanitizing, and redeploying devices. Perform routine user account and access administration, including password resets, account unlocks, basic access provisioning, and onboarding/offboarding changes while following required approvals and access-control procedures; escort non-standard or higher-risk requests as appropriate. Deliver a strong customer experience through clear, professional, and concise communication, setting expectations around timelines and next steps, keeping users informed throughout the ticket lifecycle, and maintaining service quality during high-volume or high-pressure situations. Follow and reinforce Service Desk standards and ITIL-aligned processes, including consistent ticket quality, documentation, communication, escalation, and audit-ready execution; participate in ongoing training and help standardize request types, workflows, responses, and use of the Service Desk as the central intake channel for IT requests. Qualifications Experience providing technical support in a Service Desk environment, including use of ticketing systems and remote-support tools. Working knowledge of Windows operating systems, common business applications, and end-user support within a Microsoft-centric environment.
