Work collaboratively with Development, Infrastructure and Business teams to ensure timely resolution of issues.
What we're looking for Above all, we're looking for someone with outstanding problem-solving ability and excellent communication skills.
You'll be someone who: Loves investigating technical issues and piecing together the bigger picture.
Can read between the lines to uncover the real problem, not just the reported symptom.
Enjoys helping customers and building strong relationships.
Communicates technical information in a clear, user-friendly way.
Takes ownership and sees problems through to resolution.
Desirable experience Previous Application Support, Technical Support or 2nd/3rd Line Support experience.

Business Analysis experience or the ability to bridge technical and business conversations would be highly desirable.
Why apply?
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team where you'll work on meaningful technical challenges, develop your technical skills and play a key role in delivering an excellent customer experience.
You'll also gain exposure to modernising technologies as the business transitions from Windows/SQL-based environments towards containers and Postgre SQL.
