About the Role The Fitch Group Global Service Desk is a fast paced, diverse and exciting team with a passion for customer service, user experience and technology. The Service Desk provides 24x5 IT support to over 6,000 Fitch Group users globally.

How You'll Make an Impact:

• Own incidents and requests end-to-end: triage, troubleshoot, resolve, and document-driving tickets to closure with a strong focus on root cause and quality.
• Provide advanced remote and in-person support for Windows and Mac endpoints, collaboration tooling, and corporate applications.
• Diagnose and resolve complex issues across Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint), endpoint management (Intune and SCCM), and Video Conferencing (Cisco).
• Perform structured troubleshooting using logs, system tools, event viewer, device management portals, and known error patterns; identify recurring issues and propose fixes.
• Escalate effectively and manage escalations: ensure the right technical detail is captured, coordinate with escalation teams, and maintain ownership until resolution.
• Improve the Service Desk by contributing to knowledge articles, standard operating procedures, and coaching peers on repeat issues and best practices.
• Deliver efficient onboarding/offboarding with a focus on day-one readiness, access provisioning, device readiness, and a smooth user experience.
• Keep users informed through clear, timely updates-translating technical detail into business-friendly language.
• Participate in a shared on-call rotation to provide weekend support, ensuring continuous coverage for our global user base. You May be a Good Fit if:
• 2+ years' experience in a Service Desk/IT Support environment with demonstrable Level 2 troubleshooting responsibility.
• Strong working knowledge of Windows 11 and macOS support in an enterprise environment (plus iOS support).
• Confident troubleshooting Microsoft 365 (Teams, OneDrive sync issues, Outlook profile/authentication, permissions/sharing, add-ins).
• Experience with endpoint management concepts and tooling (e.g., Intune, device compliance, app deployment, profiles/policies).
• Comfortable using an ITSM tool (e.g., Jira Service Management) with strong ticket hygiene: categorisation, prioritisation, documentation, and SLA awareness.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to lead the user through resolution and set expectations clearly.
• Willingness and availability to participate in an on-call rotation.

What Would Make You Stand Out:

• Experience supporting executive/VIP users in a corporate environment.
• Hands-on macOS management/troubleshooting with Jamf (policies, profiles, inventory, app deployment).
• Exposure to identity/access concepts (e.g., SSO/MFA, account lockouts, access groups).
• Familiarity with security tools (Zscaler, CrowdStrike), phishing awareness, and handling access/data requests appropriately.
• ITIL certification (or strong practical knowledge of incident/request/problem management).
• A track record of reducing repeat incidents via knowledge creation and trend analysis.
