Job Summary

The IT Client Support Technician is a Charlotte-based member of the Global IT Operations & Technology Services organization. The role provides high-touch, white-glove technology support for executives, employees and visitors; owns the Charlotte onsite support experience; and maintains meeting-room readiness. Although based onsite full-time, the position has a global workload and works closely with the Client Support team in Cambridge and the Service Desk in India on remote support, endpoint lifecycle activities, ITSM processes, business projects and service-improvement initiatives.
Success requires a service-first mindset, strong technical judgment and the ability to anticipate needs before they become executive or business disruptions.

• Provide advance planning and onsite technology coordination for business projects, implementations, UAT activities and visiting project teams.
• Perform approved onsite smart-hands activities for Infrastructure, Network, Cloud and Security teams, including equipment checks, cable validation, controlled device restarts and vendor-access coordination.

Meeting Rooms and Event Readiness

• Own the daily operational readiness of Charlotte conference rooms, displays, cameras, microphones, speakers and room-control systems.
• Perform proactive checks before scheduled executive and strategy meetings and provide in-room or nearby support when required.
• Document room standards, startup procedures, known issues and backup coverage; manage recurring maintenance and vendor follow-up to prevent repeat failures.
• Support company meetings, town halls and special events, including rehearsals, connectivity validation and rapid issue response.

• Work an assigned share of the global Client Support and Service Desk queue whenever not actively addressing Charlotte or executive priorities.
• Support operational adoption of Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot through device provisioning, testing, troubleshooting and documented feedback.
• Use the approved ITSM platform consistently, maintaining accurate categorization, ownership, notes, resolution details and user communication.
• Help reduce aged tickets by taking ownership of stalled requests, coordinating dependencies and escalating blockers before they become business complaints.
• Create and maintain knowledge articles, standard operating procedures and user guidance that improve first-contact resolution and consistent service delivery.
• Participate in endpoint lifecycle, office technology, M&A integration, UAT coordination and service-improvement projects assigned by the IT Operations & Technology Services Manager, including practical automation that reduces technician effort and improves device readiness.

Security, Compliance and Operational Discipline

• Follow security, access-management, data-protection, software and asset-management policies in all support activities.
• Protect credentials and confidential information, verify identity before sensitive actions and promptly escalate suspected security incidents.
• Maintain clean documentation and audit-ready records for device assignment, access requests, changes and incident resolution.
