Are you already the technical escalation point within your IT Support team? Do you enjoy solving complex technical issues, mentoring colleagues and driving service improvements?
We're recruiting for a Senior Technical Support Analyst to join a growing internal IT team, acting as the bridge between the Service Desk and Infrastructure functions. This is a genuine senior position for someone who has already operated as a technical escalation point, combining hands-on Microsoft technologies with mentoring, change management and continuous improvement.

You'll provide technical leadership for complex incidents, support and coach junior analysts, and remain hands-on across Microsoft 365, Intune, Autopilot and endpoint management. Alongside BAU support, you'll contribute to projects, change initiatives, technical documentation and automation, helping improve the efficiency and capability of the wider IT team.
You'll also play a key role in developing the team's knowledge base, documenting complex issues and solutions within Confluence to improve consistency, support future automation and strengthen long-term service delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the senior technical escalation point for complex support issues
- Mentor and coach Technical Support Analysts, helping to develop the wider team
- Take ownership of complex incidents and provide technical leadership when required
- Participate in Change Advisory Boards (CAB) and contribute to service improvements and change implementation

- Manage Windows endpoints using Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot, including policies, compliance and best practice configuration
- Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation and knowledge articles within Confluence
- Identify opportunities to automate repetitive support activities using PowerShell and modern automation tools
- Support the adoption of AI to improve service delivery, always ensuring appropriate human oversight
- Work alongside Infrastructure teams to diagnose and troubleshoot networking issues before escalation
