Specialist - Technology Support Analyst; Help Desk

Position: Specialist - Technology Support Analyst (Central Help Desk)
Our outstanding teachers, support staff members and leaders are top-notch educators whom others seek to emulate, and quite simply - we would like for you to consider joining us.


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.
