General Description:

The Central Help Desk Analyst provides primarily remote Tier 1 support for Chesterfield County Public Schools (CCPS), resolving issues via online ticket workflows, phone calls, and email inquiries.

The Analyst does not dispatch field staff; instead, the position performs remote troubleshooting and coordinates handoffs by reclassifying and routing tickets to the correct owning queue when a physical touch or specialized intervention is required (e.g., regional Technology Support Analysts (TSAs) for hands-on Tier 1 non-Chromebook support, external vendor for Chromebook service execution, and Tier 2 escalation for network/systemic issues). The position is responsible for ticket quality and documentation standards for tickets routed to the Central Help Desk queue. Strong customer service skills, clear communication, and sound professional judgment are required.
