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.
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.
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.
Why Choose Fitch:
- Hybrid Work Environment: 4 days a week in office required based on your line of business and location
- A Culture of Learning & Mobility: Dedicated trainings, leadership development and mentorship programs designed to ensure that your time at Fitch will be a continuous learning opportunity
