Level 2 – IT Support Specialist & Client Support

Work Setup: Fully Remote

Work Schedule: Monday – Friday, Pacific Standard Time

Salary: $1,800 - $2,000
Role Overview

This is a Help Desk and Technical Support role with a strong emphasis on client communication. The person in this role handles the majority of day-to-day support interactions with startup teams; they're the voice clients hear most often. Technical chops matter, but so does the ability to make a stressed-out employee feel taken care of.

If you are the type who can resolve a Google Workspace sync issue, walk a remote employee through a fix over Zoom, and close the ticket with documentation that a colleague could follow, all while keeping the client feeling supported, not talked down to - YOU belong here.
This Role IS:
- The face of our company to technologically sophisticated, security-conscious clients — you own relationships, not just tickets

- Equal parts technical problem-solving and warm, clear client communication

- A Mac-first, Google Workspace-first, SaaS-security environment

- Autonomy with accountability — startup clients expect fast, independent judgment

This Role IS NOT:
- A backend NOC or infrastructure role where you work silently behind the scenes

- A pure engineering role — if you prefer zero client contact, this is not the right fit

- A Windows Server / Active Directory / on-prem data center environment

- A role with heavy supervision and rigid escalation paths

Responsibilities:
Technical Delivery
- ProvideTier 2 support for escalated issues across Mac workstations, networks, Google Workspace, and SaaS platforms

- Troubleshoot and resolve incidents independently with clear, client-readable documentation

- Collaborate with Tier 1 and Tier 3 teams to resolve issues and share knowledge

- Support client onboarding workflows: device enrollment, MDM configuration, account provisioning, and Laptop Logistics coordination

- Support monitoring, patching, and alert response workflows — including user-facing CVE remediation notifications

- Participate in backup testing and maintenance routines

- Contribute to SOP and knowledge base documentation improvements

Client Experience
- Serve as the front line of client interaction— every support touchpoint shapes how clients feel about Ignition

- Communicate clearly and warmly with non-technical end-users (startup employees, ops teams, office managers) via chat, email, video, and phone

- Set expectations proactively — no silent gaps; if a fix takes time, the client knows what's happening and when to expect an update

- Own client communication through escalations — clients should never feel passed off without context

- Write ticket notes and follow-ups that a non-technical reader can easily understand

Required Qualifications
Technical Qualifications
-
6+ years of IT support experience , with substantial time at an IT Managed Service Provider (MSP)

- Solid networking fundamentals (VPNs, firewalls, routing), ideally with Cisco Meraki experience

- Strong troubleshooting methodology with consistent documentation habits

Client-Facing Skills (Equally Weighted)
- Demonstrated ability to explain technical issues to non-technical people in plain, reassuring language

- Experience in a client-facing support role where customer satisfaction was measured — and you scored well (NPS, CSAT, or equivalent)

- Patience and empathy when supporting end-users who are frustrated, stressed, or unfamiliar with technology — these are non-negotiable

- Clear, professional written communication across tickets, emails, and follow-ups

Soft Skills
- Strong time management and ability to manage multiple tickets across multiple client accounts simultaneously

- Team-first mindset — you share knowledge, flag patterns, and actively help teammates improve
