Responsibilities
Description
Empower AI is seeking an experienced Tier I Service Desk Agent (Extended Hours) to analyze and resolve complex IT incidents and service requests and to serve as a decision and escalation resource within Tier I on an enterprise IT Service Desk supporting a Department of War agency with approximately 13,000 internal users and a community of external industry partners across multiple security enclaves. The analyst determines root cause, business impact, priority, and resolution path for the issues junior analysts cannot resolve; exercises delegated administrative authority to resolve issues at first contact; reviews and redirects proposed escalations; and analyzes trends to recommend permanent fixes, knowledge content, and Tier 0 automation. Performance is measured on First Contact Resolution, SLA and XLA adherence, and ticket quality. This is a salaried, FLSA-exempt position in which you will independently analyze situations, determine the appropriate course of action, and exercise discretion and independent judgment on matters of significance to the program and its customers.
THIS IS A REMOTE ROLE WITH UP TO 10% OF TRAVEL INVOLVED.
JOB DUTIES:

• Analyze escalated and complex Tier I incidents and service requests to determine root cause, scope, and business impact; independently set Priority Levels (PL1-PL4); and decide the resolution path, including whether to resolve, deflect to self-service, or escalate to Tier II/III or specialized resolver groups.

• Determine and apply the appropriate diagnostic and remediation approach for Windows endpoints, Microsoft 365 and collaboration tools, VPN and network connectivity, account and access issues, printing, and mobile devices, exercising delegated administrative authority to resolve issues at first contact.

• Serve as an escalation and decision resource for junior analysts, reviewing their proposed resolutions, approving or redirecting escalations, and coaching on troubleshooting methodology and ticket quality.

• Evaluate ticket documentation and closures for compliance with the Customer-Confirmed Ticket Closure process and quality standards, identify patterns in reopened tickets, and recommend corrective actions to the Senior Analyst and Supervisor.

• Assess the open ticket queue for SLA risk, decide follow-up priorities with users and resolver groups, and recommend queue rebalancing to keep aged tickets within the contract's acceptable quality level.

• Analyze incident volume, escalation, and reopen trends to identify recurring problems, and prepare inputs to After-Action Reviews, Root Cause Analyses, and Problem Resolution Action Plans, including recommended permanent fixes.

• Author and revise knowledge base articles, standard operating procedures, and Virtual Agent (chatbot) content, determining what recurring issues can be moved to Tier 0 self-service or resolved on first contact.

• Draft situational awareness alerts for Government pre-approval, recommend when alerts are warranted, and analyze CSAT and Customer Effort Score results to identify service improvements for the Customer Support Metrics Dashboard and quarterly XLA reporting.
