Summary:

Genesys IT is currently seeking an IT Services Specialist to join our EMEA team. This is a rare opportunity for an individual who can build strong relationships, earn trust across the business, and represent IT with professionalism while managing ServiceDesk incidents and requests at an advanced level.

The IT Services Specialist (L2) serves as a key technical resource within the region, providing hands-on support and delivering high-quality customer service to employees across EMEA—including executive leadership. The role is responsible for resolving escalated issues from the Global Helpdesk and junior Desktop team members, managing Tier 2/3 troubleshooting across hardware, software, operating systems, network connectivity, collaboration tools, and all deployed end-user technologies.
