Technical Support Analyst

Competitive + Bonus + Benefits

Manchester, UK

Permanent full time

Be the person our customers can count on—especially when it matters most.

We’re hiring an experienced Technical Support Analyst at IRIS Software Group to take the lead during our late shift, supporting schools across North America. This isn’t just a role about closing tickets. It’s about owning them—bringing technical insight, independence, and a calm, solutions-first mindset to every interaction.

You’ll be working from 4pm to midnight, Monday to Friday, covering critical support hours when customers still need help, but the rest of the team may have clocked off. That’s why we’re looking for someone confident, capable, and self-driven—someone who knows how to handle responsibility and thrives when trusted to deliver.

If you’re someone with second-line support experience, strong technical skills, and a natural sense of ownership, this role gives you the space to shine. Leadership experience? Even better—this could open the door to further growth in our international support team.

What Will You Be Doing?

You’ll be the driving force behind our late-shift support, keeping things running smoothly and solving problems that others couldn’t. You’ll:

• Take ownership of technical support tickets, resolving or escalating with care and clarity
• Investigate issues using MS SQL, diagnostic tools, and your own curiosity
• Be the go-to person for our North American customers during evening hours
• Keep support records sharp, accurate, and helpful for others
• Flag trends or recurring problems and work with the wider team to fix them long term
• Share your knowledge with first-line analysts and contribute to internal docs and guides
• Support new colleagues where needed—and bring fresh ideas to the table.

Who Are We Looking For?

• Solid experience in second-line technical support or a similar role
• Confidence using MS SQL (particularly in SQL Management Studio)
• Good understanding of web-based applications and IT infrastructure
• Ideally some experience with ASP.NET (C#)—but not essential
• Strong troubleshooting instincts and the ability to work independently
• Calm, clear communication skills when speaking to customers or colleagues
• A proactive, methodical approach to solving problems and managing workload
• Any mentoring or leadership experience is a big plus (but not required)

Why Apply?
