Service Desk Analyst
London
Full-Time, Permanent
The Role
The Service Desk Analyst sits within our London office, working as part of the wider Service Desk team based in Knutsford. You’ll provide first-line IT support to London users, acting as the main point of contact and taking ownership of issues through to resolution or escalation.
You will be working in a fast-paced environment, supporting colleagues at all levels, including senior leadership. The role requires a calm, organised approach, with a focus on delivering a reliable and professional service while managing competing priorities.
Your responsibilities will include diagnosing and resolving technical issues, keeping users updated, and ensuring tickets are handled in line with agreed service levels. While London-based, you’ll also contribute to the wider Service Desk function when needed.
Skills
We’re looking for someone with a solid grounding in a 1st/2nd line support environment, good problem-solving skills, and a strong customer service mindset. Confidence in dealing with a range of stakeholders is important.
What you'll be doing:
- Act as the first point of contact for IT issues and queries, delivering high-quality customer service.
- Resolving most IT requests (hardware/software) at first contact.
- Log and manage incidents via GBS service desk software with accuracy and attention to detail.
- Assess business impact, assign appropriate SLAs, and escalate issues promptly when needed.
- Own user issues from start to resolution, ensuring timely updates and clear communication.
- Follow Incident Management procedures and maintain documentation and asset records.
- Liaise with third-party suppliers to resolve issues and ensure SLA compliance.
- Contribute to weekly service desk reporting and maintain support documentation/SOPs.
- Be flexible to support out-of-hours work when required (by mutual agreement).
