1What this role really is

This isn't just about fixing things; it's about making sure they don't break again. As a Senior Global Systems Support Assistant, you'll be the person who dives deep into recurring issues, figures out the root cause, and then puts processes in place to stop them. You'll also be a go-to person for our junior team members, helping them get unstuck and grow their skills. Think of yourself as a detective, an engineer, and a mentor all rolled into one.

2What you'd actually use

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Incident Prioritisation & Escalation	Follows defined prioritisation matrix; escalates any P1/P2 immediately to L2/L3.	Independently prioritises P3/P4 incidents; escalates P1/P2 to L3/manager with initial troubleshooting complete.	Owns prioritisation for complex P2/P3 problems; decides when to escalate to Engineering based on deep analysis; can override standard prioritisation in exceptional cases with justification.
Problem Resolution Approach	Applies documented runbooks for known errors; suggests minor improvements to supervisor.	Chooses appropriate troubleshooting methods for novel issues; proposes solutions to recurring problems.	Designs and implements permanent solutions for complex problems; defines new runbooks and processes; makes technical recommendations for system changes to prevent recurrence.
Knowledge Base Content Creation	Updates existing KB articles following templates; creates new articles for simple, well-defined issues with review.	Independently creates new KB articles for common issues; improves clarity and completeness of existing content.	Leads KCS initiatives; designs KB structure and content standards; mentors others on effective knowledge capture; reviews and approves critical KB articles.
Process Improvement	Identifies minor inefficiencies; suggests improvements to supervisor.	Proposes and documents process improvements for routine tasks; implements approved changes.	Identifies systemic inefficiencies across workstreams; designs and implements significant process overhauls (e.g., JML automation, new ITSM workflows); influences cross-functional process changes.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Problem Resolution Rate

The percentage of identified problems (recurring incidents) that you've successfully resolved with a permanent fix.

Target · >80% of assigned problems closed within agreed timeframe

You take ownership of the 'SSO login failures for Mac users' problem, identify a configuration error in Okta, and deploy a fix. This problem is then marked as resolved, and the related incident volume drops to zero.

Knowledge Base Contribution & Quality

How many new or updated knowledge articles you create that genuinely help users and L1/L2 support, and how well they're rated.

Target · Author/update 5+ high-impact KB articles per quarter, with an average rating of 4.0+/5.0

You notice a common issue with VPN connectivity. You write a clear, step-by-step guide with screenshots, which then significantly reduces the number of tickets for that specific problem, and L1 support uses it daily.

Recurring Incident Reduction

The measurable decrease in incident volume for issues you've investigated and implemented solutions for.

Target · 10-15% reduction in recurring incidents through successful problem management

After implementing a fix for a specific Intune deployment error, the weekly tickets related to 'App X not installing' drop from 10 to 1, demonstrating a 90% reduction.

SLA Adherence (Problem & Escalated Incidents)

How consistently you meet the agreed-upon service level agreements for problem tickets and escalated incidents.

Target · >95% for problem resolution, >98% for escalated incident resolution

You're assigned a P2 problem ticket with a 5-day resolution SLA. You get it sorted and closed on day 4, ensuring we stay within our commitments to the business.

Mentorship Effectiveness

How well you're helping junior team members grow, evidenced by their increased autonomy and improved problem-solving skills.

Junior analysts proactively seek your advice
their ticket resolution times improve
they're able to handle more complex issues independently
positive feedback from your manager and the mentees themselves.

Process Improvement Impact

Your ability to identify inefficiencies in support processes and propose/implement tangible improvements.

You're regularly suggesting updates to runbooks
you've identified and automated a manual task
you've streamlined a workflow (e.g., JML process) that saves the team time
your ideas are often adopted by the wider team.

Stakeholder Trust & Collaboration

How effectively you work with other teams (Engineering, HR, Product) to resolve issues and implement changes.

Other teams actively involve you in discussions about system changes
you're seen as a reliable bridge between support and engineering
you can clearly articulate technical issues to non-technical audiences and vice-versa
positive feedback from cross-functional colleagues.

Documentation Quality

The clarity, accuracy, and completeness of the documentation you create and maintain.

Your runbooks are easy to follow and rarely lead to errors
knowledge articles are comprehensive and well-structured
colleagues refer to your documentation as a gold standard
audits of system configurations are always up-to-date.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real kick out of taking a messy, poorly described system issue and breaking it down until you find the actual root cause. The more convoluted, the better.

Spending an afternoon tracing logs across three different systems to figure out why a specific integration keeps failing, and then finally pinpointing the exact line of code or configuration error.

Making Things Work Better (Permanently)

You're driven by the idea of not just patching a problem, but truly fixing it so it never comes back. You love building robust processes and clear documentation that prevents future headaches.

Designing and implementing a new automated process for software deployment via Intune that eliminates a common user error, saving dozens of hours for the support team each month.

Helping Others Grow

You enjoy sharing your knowledge, guiding junior colleagues through tricky situations, and seeing them develop their skills and confidence. You're happy to jump on a call to unstick someone.

Sitting down with a new L1 analyst to walk them through a complex JML scenario, explaining not just the steps, but the 'why' behind each one, so they can handle it independently next time.

What frustrates people

The 'It's Broken' Ticket: Getting tickets with zero useful information, meaning you spend the first 15 minutes just trying to understand the actual problem.
Repetitive, Low-Value Tasks: The soul-crushing monotony of resetting the same user's password for the third time this month, even though you've documented the self-service option.
Users Who Don't Read: Carefully crafting a knowledge base article with screenshots, only to have users ignore it and log a ticket anyway.
Blame Without Context: Getting blamed for a system being 'slow' when the issue is with the network, another team's integration, or the user's home Wi-Fi.
Legacy System Purgatory: Being forced to support an ancient, undocumented piece of software that everyone is afraid to touch but no one has the budget to replace.

What this role does not give you

A predictable, 9-to-5, 'set it and forget it' routine.
A role where you only work on greenfield projects with perfect data.
The ability to always say 'yes' to every request, especially when it conflicts with security or best practice.
A role where your primary focus is hands-on coding or infrastructure build-out (though you'll use those skills).

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our operational efficiency and employee productivity across the entire company. You're the one stopping the bleeding from recurring issues, which means less downtime, fewer frustrated colleagues, and a more effective support team. Your work helps build trust in our internal systems and allows everyone else to focus on their core jobs, rather than wrestling with tech problems.

Inside the business

L1 and L2 Systems Support Teams (you'll be their escalation point and mentor)
Engineering Teams (for deeper technical issues and system changes)
Product Teams (when system issues point to application design flaws)
HR and Finance (for complex Joiner-Mover-Leaver issues and system access audits)
Departmental Leads (when system issues impact specific business units)

Outside the business

Key Software Vendors (e.g., ServiceNow, Okta, Microsoft for Intune)
Managed Service Providers (if applicable, for specific system components)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience (5-8 years) in a hands-on IT support or systems administration role, ideally in a global environment.
Demonstrable experience leading problem management efforts and implementing permanent solutions for recurring issues.
A strong track record of mentoring junior colleagues and improving team processes.
Advanced proficiency with at least two of our core tech stack tools (e.g., ServiceNow, Okta, Intune) – you should be able to configure and troubleshoot them deeply.
Solid understanding of ITIL principles, particularly Incident, Problem, and Change Management.
Excellent communication skills – you can explain complex technical concepts to anyone, from a CEO to a brand-new starter.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior Global Systems Support Assistant is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of systems support work can feel a bit repetitive. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work and spend more time on the really interesting, challenging stuff? That's exactly where AI comes in. We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a seriously powerful co-pilot.

For a Senior Global Systems Support Assistant, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a tool that can transform how you tackle problem management, improve documentation, and even communicate with tricky users. Imagine having an assistant that can draft your problem reports, summarise complex logs, or even suggest solutions based on past incidents. That's the reality we're building.

L0 Support Automation & Ticket Triage

Deploy an AI-powered chatbot (think MS Teams or Slack) that handles the top 20% of repetitive requests automatically, like password resets or 'where's the VPN?' questions. If it can't solve it, it'll create a perfectly formatted ServiceNow ticket, saving you the initial triage time and getting straight to the core issue.

Proactive Incident Detection & Analysis

Use AI to chew through incoming ticket streams and system logs in real-time. It can spot patterns – like a sudden spike in 'login failed' errors from a specific office – and flag a potential major incident before users even notice. This means you can get ahead of problems, rather than always reacting.

Knowledge Base Generation & Improvement

After you've cracked a complex ticket, feed the notes and resolution steps into an AI assistant. It'll draft a well-structured, easy-to-read Confluence KB article for you. You just need to review and hit publish. This means less time writing, more time solving, and a richer, more up-to-date knowledge base for everyone.

Empathetic & Clear Communication Drafting

Dealing with frustrated users or explaining complex technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders can be tough. Use an AI assistant to draft responses. Prompt it with 'Write a clear, empathetic reply explaining why their request for admin rights is denied due to security policy X, and offer alternative solution Y.' It'll save you time and emotional labour, ensuring consistent, professional communication.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior Global Systems Support Assistant, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 2 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior Global Systems Support Assistant: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.
