Responsibilities
• User Support: Provide Tier 2-3 technical support for hardware, software, and networking issues, serving as the primary local point of contact for the Florida region.
• System Maintenance: Assist with the deployment, configuration, and monitoring of computers, servers, and mobile devices, including performing regular updates and patches
• Operations & Logistics: Help manage the full employee lifecycle, from setting up user accounts and hardware during onboarding to maintaining an accurate inventory of IT assets
• Compliance & Security: Follow established IT procedures for data backups, disaster recovery, and software licensing to ensure a secure and reliable environment
• Collaboration & Escalation: Work closely with the national IT team on special projects and escalate complex technical issues to senior staff or vendors when necessary
• Continuous Learning: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of technology trends and best practices to help optimize local department operations
Qualifications
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent technical certifications and experience.
• 2+ years of experience in IT support or a related technical role.
• Proficiency with Windows and/or Mac operating systems, Microsoft Office Suite, and common business software applications.

• Experience with ticketing systems and IT asset management tools.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and respond to user needs in a timely manner
Preferred Qualifications
• Service Excellence: A proven track record of providing "white-glove" technical support, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable solutions for non-technical users
• Elite Troubleshooting: Advanced diagnostic skills with a "find-a-way" mentality—someone who thrives on digging into the root cause of persistent technical issues rather than just applying a quick fix
• Consistent Reliability: A dependable professional who excels at managing day-to-day technical needs and responding to user requests with a strong sense of urgency
• Calm Under Pressure: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to remain professional and communicative during high-priority technical outages or tight project deadlines

• This is a 100% in-office position, so must be within a commutable distance to West Palm Beach or Miami, FL office

Physical Demands & Work Environment
• This position primarily operates in a professional office environment, requiring the ability to work at a desk for extended periods while using a computer, phone, and standard office equipment.
• The position involves sitting for extended periods, performing data entry, and engaging in frequent communication via email, phone, and in-person interactions.
