  • Build collaborative relationships with cross-functional teams across all levels of the business.

  • Maintain system configuration, manage user access permissions, and contribute to internal knowledge documentation.

What You’ll Bring:
 

  • Proven experience in an IT Service Desk or Application Support environment, managing bespoke software.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to diagnose system and application issues.
  • Excellent organisational skills to manage large workloads and competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
