About the role

We are a managed service provider supporting businesses across a wide range of industries. We're looking for an experienced help desk technician who already knows the MSP pace: many clients, many environments, and a ticket queue that never sleeps.

You'll work primarily from home as a key part of our support team. Clients rely on you to resolve issues quickly, communicate clearly, and document everything. Some on-site work at client locations is required, so we prefer candidates in the Phoenix Metro area.

• Manage Active Directory and Entra ID accounts, password resets, MFA, group membership, and permissions
• Support basic networking issues: DNS, DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi, switches, and firewalls
• Use RMM and PSA tools to monitor endpoints, deploy patches, and track time and ticket notes
• Respond to security alerts from endpoint protection and email security tools, following escalation procedures
• Write and maintain clear documentation in our knowledge base and client documentation platform
• Deliver friendly, professional customer service and keep clients informed until issues are resolved
• Travel to client sites in the Phoenix Metro area as required for hardware setup or hands-on troubleshooting
• Participate in a rotating after-hours on-call schedule

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN
• Ability to manage multiple tickets across many clients and prioritize by urgency and SLA
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including explaining technical issues to non-technical users
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently from home
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for occasional on-site visits
• Ability to pass a background check
