The role

* Investigate causes and take responsibility to provide analysis of reported recurring or persistent problems.
* Create standard documentation on problem resolution, fixes, and updating the technical knowledge base.
* Identify appropriate solutions to resolve service incidents and requests.
* Assist remote support teams with incident resolution for any onsite devices.
* Update online familiarization, FAQs, and “how to” guides and training material.
* Keep abreast of trends in technology and its application to understand current best practices and possible alternative solutions.
* Support maintenance, updates, and enhancements to work instructions.
* Remotely support “priority” incidents to other ITV offices as part of an enhanced priority support channel.
* Take ownership of incidents and see them through to completion with assistance from other team members.
* Troubleshoot, support, and provide information to assist in incident resolution.
* Able to translate technical implementations into business-friendly explanations and demonstrate functionality.
* Encourage and foster feedback from stakeholders and peers.
* Contribute towards documentation and process creation.
* Create material to allow end-users to self-serve.
* Develop skills in automation to support the broader WPT team.
* Work with the Operations Manager to document current issues and contribute towards resolution or process creation.
* Identify areas for personal development which will contribute towards the overall success of the team.
* Learn a department-appropriate scripting language.
* Develop an understanding of the Agile way of working.
* Assist the Business Analysts with requirements gathering.
* Perform data analysis using Looker Studio and Google Sheets.
