My client is a highly regarded and forward-thinking law firm. They are seeking a Technology Support Analyst to join their T&D department. The overall responsibilities of the role include; answering, logging and responding to T&D support issues that are received over the phone, via email, chat platforms (Zoom / Teams), or in person. In addition, you will be required to assist in resolving these issues over the phone, via remote desktop, through desk visits, or escalating them to other T&D team members. It is expected that over time, as skills are transferred and you gain more experience of our environment, that you escalate fewer issues and resolve these at the initial phase.

This is an internal client-facing role which requires a high-level of professionalism and good customer service, with a motivated approach to dealing with staff members. The T&D department is continuously focused on improving customer service levels and response times through the development and maintenance of excellent working relationships with staff members. We promote and encourage the adoption of new systems along with existing policies and procedures.
Key responsibilities include:

• To respond in a timely manner to emails or telephone support calls, and to ensure that the “client’s” level of expectation is established, communicated and satisfied.
• To log every call, and maintain call records in appropriate detail, using our service desk software.
• To deal with and resolve T&D issues; over the phone, by remotely connecting to PCs, through desk visits, or by escalating appropriately to internal T&D team members.
• To ensure that end-users comply with the firm’s T&D policies and report any contraventions to your manager, the Technology Operations Manager, or the Head of T&D.
• To provide regular feedback of operational and support experiences to your manager and offer recommendations as to how these might be revised or enhanced.
• To install all end-user hardware and software when required, and to help maintain a stable end-user environment.
• To manage the provisioning and allocation of mobile and remote solutions and to assist end-users in the use of these.
• To participate in an out-of-hours support rota, including occasional weekend and evening work, ensuring continuity of support services outside standard business hours (shift allowance applicable).

• To ensure that adequate documentation is always produced or made available.
• Over time, you will be expected to build knowledge of our systems and processes, reducing the need for escalation and resolving more issues at first contact.
• To help maintain the fixed asset register and software inventory for all T&D assets.
• To contribute to the development and maintenance of all T&D documentation and the knowledge base.
• To deliver, set-up and move equipment to work desks. Training of manual handling will be provided.

The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate practical service desk experience, ideally within a professional services environment, including use of call logging software and managing workload to meet user expectations. We would also consider candidates with a relevant IT qualification (e.g. college or university) who can demonstrate a genuine interest in technology, strong problem-solving skills, and a willingness to learn, even if they have limited hands-on experience.

Whilst we would love to be able to respond to every application we receive, it is not always possible. If you have not heard from us within 7 working days, please assume that your application has not been successful on this occasion.
