IT Helpdesk Coordinator (Hiring Immediately)

Role Summary

The IT Helpdesk Coordinator is a newly created role within ITG's IT department, designed to bridge the gap between the technical helpdesk team and the wider business. This is not a technical support role. It is a coordination, administration, and communication role that requires someone who is exceptionally organised, proactive, and confident managing multiple workstreams simultaneously.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the non-technical operations that currently sit with our IT Helpdesk Technicians, freeing them to focus entirely on technical resolution work. You will act as the central point of coordination for hardware logistics, asset management, licence requests, procurement, and supplier communication across all ITG office locations.

A basic familiarity with IT environments, such as an understanding of software licensing, hardware assets, and common business applications, is desirable, but deep technical knowledge is not required. What matters most is your ability to coordinate effectively, communicate clearly, and keep multiple workstreams moving at once.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate the collection and delivery of IT equipment for new starters and leavers within the UK, working closely with HR, line managers, and the individuals involved.
• Manage international equipment collections and deliveries for remote or overseas staff, ensuring shipping is arranged in a timely and cost-effective manner.
• Check and maintain device stock levels across multiple ITG office locations, reserving devices for incoming starters, hardware swaps, or other user requirements in line with the Monday.com hardware specification and job title matrix.
• Proactively monitor incoming leaver volumes to predict whether existing returned stock will meet upcoming starter demand, escalating to the procurement process when new stock is required.

• Administer ITG's Asset Management System (SnipeIT), including checking equipment in and out, maintaining accurate device statuses, and ensuring all hardware specifications and user assignments are fully up to date.
• Ensure the ITG asset register is consistently accurate and audit-ready, acting as the primary owner of asset data quality.
• Manage the equipment recycling process end to end: logging archived devices (make, model, serial number), liaising with the recycling vendor, and ensuring all activity aligns with ITG's IT recycling policies.

  Repairs and Vendor Coordination

• Build and maintain effective working relationships with key external vendors, including hardware suppliers, repair providers, and recycling partners.

  Helpdesk Queue and Proactive Administration
