It specialist

About the role

As our one and only IT Specialist, get ready for some lickety-split wardrobe changes, since you’ll be wearing multiple different hats a day! You’ll be the face of our IT help desk, our resident technology troubleshooter, and will officially welcome new team members into XYPN’s digital world. Not only will you directly impact team member satisfaction (and productivity) through our IT Help Desk, you’ll get to assist the IT Manager on a variety of projects that support the growth and vision of XYPN! If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow, learn, and build a modern IT function, this is a pretty perfect place to start!

What you'll be doing

• Provide real time IT support to team members so they can help people live their great lives! (psst… that’s kind of what we do!)
• Assist the IT Manager in building the infrastructure needed to support the company’s growth plans
• Day-to-day support of XYPN’s tech stack
• Own the IT Help Desk for the entire company, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and delivering resolutions via our ticketing system
• Show folks what customer service is supposed to look like
• Assist in inventory of hardware and software subscriptions/licenses
• Meet and usher in new team members to XYPN’s tech and conduct IT onboarding and offboarding
• Serve as a thought partner to the IT Manager and Technology team
• Adore that XYPN is a new(ish!) company - that’s growing fast - and are excited by the chance to build, pivot, question, test, and learn new solutions to the “problems” of IT
