About The Team
The IT Services and Support team is responsible for providing seamless, efficient, and reliable IT solutions across the organization. We handle frontline IT support, manage vendor relationships and equipment inventory, and continuously improve our processes and documentation to enhance the overall employee experience.
About The Role
As an IT Support team member, you will be the first point of contact for troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues. Your responsibilities include resolving incoming support requests, coordinating with vendors for equipment procurement, repairs, and maintenance, and actively participating in process and systems improvement initiatives.
We’re looking for people who are customer-focused, technically proficient, and proactive in enhancing IT processes. You should excel at clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, have robust expertise in IT systems (with a strong background in macOS, and ideally Windows), and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments.
This role is based out of our Bellevue, London, Washington DC, or San Francisco office and requires 5 days in office per week. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
In This Role, You Will
- Improve Support Systems and Processes: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for improvement, support the creation and maintenance of repeatable workflows (such as onboarding and device imaging), and contribute innovative ideas during IT team meetings.
- Collaborate across OpenAI: Work closely with cross-functional teams (Security, Facilities, People Ops, etc.) to ensure seamless employee experiences. Clearly articulate issues, potential solutions, and timelines to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Act as Frontline IT Support: Serve as the primary point of contact for troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues, ensuring prompt and reliable resolution of employee requests.
- Manage Vendors and Equipment: Coordinate with vendors for procurement, repairs, and maintenance while managing hardware and software inventories to maintain secure, up-to-date, and standardized systems.
