• Coordinate service desk activity across users, internal IT teams, regional stakeholders, HQ contacts, client-side stakeholders, and key vendors.
• Help reduce dependency on senior IT team members by taking ownership of routine coordination, escalation tracking, user updates, and documentation.
(7) Project Support & Service Transition
• Support service desk readiness for major IT change initiatives, including user communication, support documentation, ticket categorisation, issue tracking, and escalation follow-up.
• Assist with the operational support impact of Google Workspace rollout, AI adoption, Cleanroom-related support, and regional support integration.
