About The Role
Our end-user support team provides exceptional 2nd line support to our internal customers in AO’s ever-growing 2000+ user base. Primarily, you will be responsible for maintaining our daily operations in our main Bolton HQ. This includes technical support across a wide range of devices and multiple OS platforms (primarily Windows-based).
Our new AOers need to be kitted out with their tech and equipment to help them hit the ground running, and our current AOers sometimes need a little extra support when a quick "turn it off and back on again" doesn't quite do the trick!
You will have the opportunity to work autonomously to identify and tackle areas of improvement throughout your role with the opportunity to work closely with the team on numerous projects related to ongoing customer service & efficiency initiatives.
