A week in the role
This is the process side of an IT service desk rather than the fix-it side. The work sits inside the ticketing platform — keeping the queue triaged against SLA clocks, keeping change and problem records honest, keeping the CMDB matching reality, and producing the service reports your IT manager takes into monthly reviews.
Opens the shift by working the unassigned queue in ServiceNow, Jira Service Management or Freshservice, setting category, impact and urgency on each ticket so the priority matrix calculates correctly, and routing to the right resolver group before first-response clocks expire.
Runs the breach-warning view each morning, pings resolver groups on tickets approaching response or resolution targets, and records a pause reason where the clock is legitimately stopped waiting on the requester, so month-end SLA reporting reflects genuine delays rather than admin lag.
Drafts normal change records from the implementation, backout and test plans the engineer supplies, checks the change calendar for clashes with freeze periods, and circulates the CAB pack. The change manager approves; this role records the decision, the outcome and any post-implementation review.
Groups repeat incidents into a problem record, attaches the incident numbers as evidence, chases the assigned engineer for root cause and workaround updates, and closes the known-error entry only once a permanent fix has been deployed and verified in production.
Reconciles configuration items against the RMM or asset discovery export — retired laptops still flagged active, servers with no owner, software CIs with no relationship to a business service — and raises data-quality tasks against whoever owns each record.
Turns repeat resolutions into knowledge articles in the standard template — symptom, environment, steps, escalation trigger — submits them to the knowledge owner for approval, and archives articles referencing decommissioned systems or superseded SOE builds so agents stop following dead instructions.
During a P1, keeps the incident record timestamped, drafts holding statements for the incident manager to send to the business, sets up and minutes the bridge call, and assembles the timeline that feeds the post-incident review document.
Maintains request catalogue items — new starter, software licence, shared mailbox access, hardware replacement — checking the form fields, approval routing and fulfilment tasks still match the current process after the business changes system owners, vendors or tools.
Builds the service review pack from the ITSM reporting module: ticket volumes by category, first-contact resolution, breach detail with reasons, repeat callers and outstanding changes, with draft commentary the service delivery manager edits before it goes to the client.
Processes joiner, mover and leaver requests through the catalogue workflow: confirms the named approver on the record, raises fulfilment tasks against each responsible team, and holds the parent request open until every system is confirmed provisioned or revoked.
Reviews CSAT responses attached to closed tickets, flags low scores to the team leader with the full ticket history attached, and logs recurring complaints — closed without contact, repeated reassignment — as improvement items on the continual service improvement register.
Cross-checks entitlement counts in the asset module against actual assignments in the Microsoft 365 admin centre or vendor portal, lists licences still sitting on departed staff, and flags the variance for your IT manager to action before the renewal date.
