You’ll be one of the first points of contact for colleagues in our London, Luxembourg, Singapore, Greece and Hong Kong offices.

We also have a hybrid working model (minimum 3 days in the office).

We recognise the business benefits of having a diverse and inclusive community. We all have something unique to bring to the table and by embracing those differences we seek to build and maintain an environment which attracts and values diversity and where everyone can develop their talents and be themselves. For us, diversity and inclusion goes above and beyond focusing on protected characteristics – we want all our colleagues to bring 100% of themselves to work. With a happy and engaged workforce we all strive to work together to be the best that we can be for the mutual benefit of ourselves and our Members.

• Carry out initial investigation and troubleshooting to resolve common issues at first contact where possible
• Keep users updated on progress and next steps, and elevate more complex problems to other IT Engineers when needed
• Set up and configure laptops, mobile phones and other user equipment
• Help maintain and improve our knowledge base and documentation
• Work collaboratively with the IT Support team to deliver consistent, high-quality service
• Learn how IT Service Management processes (incidents, service requests, SLAs, escalations) operate within a Financial Services environment
• Gain experience with our modern Microsoft 365/Azure-based technology stack

Experience required

You’ll bring an analytical mindset, excellent communication skills, and a proactive and enthusiastic attitude. If you don’t tick every box but feel this sounds like you, we would still encourage you to apply.

• This should be your first career outside of studying in IT/Engineering or any other related field

• Thoroughly enjoys talking to people and can build rapport at all levels and in different situations, and in plain language
• Has clear and excellent communication skills (both written and verbal)
• Someone who is a self-starter and can be self-taught with a good base knowledge would be a plus
