We are seeking a proactive, customer-focused Service Desk Engineer to join our Enterprise Service Desk at Schuh's Livingston Head Office. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a modern, fast-paced technical support team that underpins the technology used across our stores, remote teams, and head office.

As a Service Desk Analyst, this role will act as an internal subject matter expert and escalation point for our third-party Service Desk and network support teams. Day-to-day Service Desk support, including standard incident handling and request fulfilment, is managed by our third-party support partner. This role will focus on supporting escalations, providing business context, coordinating investigations, and helping to drive service improvements across the support model.

• Act as an escalation point for the third-party Service Desk team where incidents or requests require internal input, business context, prioritization, or coordination with specialist teams.
• Support complex or high-impact issues that have been escalated from the third-party support partner, ensuring clear ownership, communication, and progress tracking.
• Work with the third-party support partner and internal technical teams to ensure escalated issues are investigated, progressed, and resolved in line with business priorities.

• Create and manage accounts, permissions, and security groups in Azure AD / Entra .
• Support Microsoft 365 services including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and Intune-managed devices.

• Monitoring key systems and responding to alerts raised by automated tooling or Service Desk systems.
• Ensuring clear communication and accurate incident logging for any out-of-hours activity.
