About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to be the go-to tech superhero in your own branch? As our IT & Customer Service Officer, you won’t just be tinkering with computers behind the scenes — you’ll be at the very heart of our daily operations. It’s a role for someone who loves solving puzzles, enjoys genuine face-to-face interactions, and gets a thrill from making technology work for people (not the other way around). If you’ve got a knack for troubleshooting and a talent for turning every customer visit into a bright spot in their day, this could be your next move.
About the Company
We’re a close-knit team who takes pride in bringing real, personal tech support to our community. While some places prioritize speed, we focus on the quality of every interaction — whether it’s a colleague popping in with a laptop question or a customer looking a little lost. Our shared coffee breaks often turn into impromptu brainstorms, and “how can we help?” isn’t just a slogan, it’s our everyday mindset. We value curious minds, positive attitudes, and folks who see a challenge as a chance to shine.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping our branch’s computers, printers, and tech systems healthy, secure, and humming along smoothly
- Responding to technical hiccups — big or small — with professionalism and a calm, methodical approach
- Welcoming customers as they enter the branch, making sure their first impression is a great one
- Listening to staff and customer tech needs, then translating that into real support, solutions, or quick fixes
- Training coworkers on tech basics, so everyone feels confident with our systems and safe online
- Collaborating with our wider IT network for bigger projects or when you need backup
- Staying organized so tickets, inventory, and maintenance logs never fall through the cracks
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Solid grasp of hardware and software troubleshooting (Windows or Mac, you know your way around)
- Friendly, approachable communication style — you know how to explain tech to non-tech folks
- Experience providing customer service, ideally face-to-face
- A patient, problem-solving attitude and the ability to stay composed under pressure
Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience in a similar combined IT and customer support role
- Familiarity with POS systems or financial technologies
- Proficiency in another language (our community is diverse, so that’s a plus)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Supportive, team-centric atmosphere — we celebrate wins and help each other out during crunches
- Opportunity to make a direct impact: Your expertise will genuinely shape daily operations and customer experiences
- Flexible working arrangements in a safe, modern branch setting
- Continuous learning — we invest in your growth with training, workshops, and time to chase down new solutions
- Real work/life balance (and yes, we honor every vacation request as best we can!)
Joining us means becoming part of a team where your technical know-how and people skills both matter — and where “thank you” is something you’ll hear often, from customers and coworkers alike.
