Desktop Support Analyst
London, Financial Services
We're partnering with a globally respected investment firm to hire an exceptional Desktop Support Analyst for their London office.
This is not a high-volume help desk position and not a stepping-stone role. The business is looking for the best of the best at this level. A desktop support professional who takes pride in delivering outstanding service, owns issues end to end, and is trusted to support a demanding, professional user base.
The Role
You'll be a key part of the on-site technology function, providing hands-on and remote support to colleagues in London and across international offices. This role requires strong technical capability, excellent communication skills, and the confidence to work with stakeholders at all levels of the business.
Key responsibilities include:
1. Providing high-quality desktop and end-user support across Windows and macOS environments
2. Supporting users in person, remotely, and over the phone
3. Managing incidents from first contact through to full resolution
4. Supporting new joiner onboarding and leaver offboarding, including hardware deployment and access management
5. Working with vendors and building management to coordinate site and telecoms work
6. Supporting mobile devices, printers, network connectivity, and remote access tools
7. Contributing ideas to improve service quality, processes, and user experience
8. Working closely with global technology teams to ensure consistent support standards
What They're Looking For
This role suits someone who is already very strong in desktop support and wants to work in an environment where quality and professionalism matter.
You'll ideally bring:
9. Several years of hands-on desktop / help desk support experience in a professional environment
10. Strong Windows endpoint support experience and familiarity with macOS
11. Experience with Active Directory user and group management
12. Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (LAN, DNS, TCP/IP, Wi-Fi)
13. Confidence supporting mobile devices and peripherals
14. Experience working with third-party vendors
15. Excellent customer service skills and the ability to explain technical issues clearly
16. A calm, methodical approach and genuine ownership of problems
This is not about job titles or seniority. It's about being exceptionally good at desktop support.
Benefits
The firm offers a market-leading benefits package, including:
17. Private medical insurance with family options
18. Generous pension scheme with strong employer contributions
19. Income protection and life assurance
20. Wellness and fitness reimbursements
21. Mental health and wellbeing support
22. Cycle-to-work scheme, season ticket loans, and other lifestyle benefits
