Description:

As an Associate System Analyst, you will play a key role in delivering reliable and responsive technical support to both internal teams and external partners.

In this role, you will investigate, analyze, and troubleshoot a wide range of technical issues by applying established procedures to identify root causes and implement effective solutions. You will collaborate closely with senior analysts and other IT teams, escalating complex or high‑impact issues when required, while continuing to own and track incidents through to resolution.

You will also be responsible for accurately documenting incidents, service requests, troubleshooting steps, and resolutions within the service desk system. This documentation supports knowledge sharing, continuous improvement, and consistent service delivery across the organization.
