About the role:

We are looking for a structured, service-minded and technically curious IT Support Specialist to join our Vienna team as the first point of contact for support requests across Lumya OS, Microsoft 365, user access, hardware and software.

This is a hands-on 1st Level Support role with strong product exposure. You will triage incoming tickets, resolve common first-line issues, support users across different channels and escalate more complex cases clearly to L2/L3 support, Product or Engineering.

The role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, communicating clearly with non-technical users and taking ownership of the full ticket experience from first response to resolution.

• You will act as the first point of contact for support requests across email, in-app chat, phone and the support portal.
• You will triage, categorise and prioritise incoming tickets, assessing whether issues can be resolved through user support, administration, configuration, data correction, known workarounds or escalation.
• You will acknowledge requests within agreed service levels and manage your ticket queue from first response through to closure.
• You will resolve day-to-day incidents and service requests relating to Lumya OS, Microsoft 365, hardware, software and user access.
• You will troubleshoot common Lumya OS issues using knowledge base articles, runbooks and standard troubleshooting steps.
• You will handle routine configuration, access, user provisioning, password and “how do I” queries across Lumya OS modules.
• You will reproduce reported issues where possible and gather the details needed for diagnosis or escalation, including screenshots, steps to reproduce, user role and environment.
• You will escalate more complex cases to L2 technical support, L3 Product or Engineering with a clear and complete handover, while tracking tickets through to closure.
• You will communicate clearly with non-technical users, keeping clients informed and managing expectations throughout the ticket lifecycle.
• You will handle client, resident and user data carefully, in line with GDPR, internal data protection policies and strict confidentiality between client environments.
• You will follow security-aware working practices and verify requester identity and authority before actioning access, provisioning or account changes.
• You will document resolutions clearly, identify knowledge base gaps and help improve FAQs, runbooks and self-service materials.
• You will flag recurring issues, bugs and product pain points to Product and Engineering.
• You will build strong working knowledge of Lumya OS and stay up to date with product releases, new features and configuration changes.

• Experience in a customer-facing support, help desk, service desk or IT support role. We are also open to candidates with strong internship, apprenticeship, placement or early-career experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in German and English.
• A calm, professional and empathetic communication style, especially when users are under operational pressure.
• A structured and patient approach to troubleshooting.
• Confidence working with web applications, SaaS tools, browsers, business software and ticketing or service management systems.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage an active ticket queue against agreed service levels.
• A genuine customer-service mindset and a high sense of ownership.
• Awareness of GDPR, data protection principles and the confidential handling of client and personal data.
