Description

In this role you will manage the Tier 3 queue in ServiceNow, drive complex issues to resolution, and provide clear, professional communication to end users and stakeholders. The ideal candidate is confident working independently, excels at root-cause analysis, and consistently delivers exceptional customer service, both written and verbal.
Key Responsibilities: Citrix VDI & Access
Serve as Tier 3 escalation for Citrix VDI endpoint issues, including connectivity, session reliability, performance, printing/peripheral redirection, profile-related symptoms, and client-side access problems.

Troubleshoot and resolve issues impacting thin clients connecting to Citrix (network path, certificates, auth flows, Workspace configuration, endpoint policy constraints).

Support and remediate issues with Citrix Workspace App on Windows and macOS (install/upgrade, configuration, authentication, certificate store behavior, plugin/SSO considerations).
PIV Card Authentication & Encryption
Diagnose and resolve PIV authentication failures across:

o Windows endpoints

o Citrix VDI sessions

o Thin client access workflows

Troubleshoot PIV-related encryption / certificate problems, including certificate chain trust, expired/invalid certs, middleware behavior, PIN prompts/locks, and access failures tied to smart card policies.
ServiceNow Queue Ownership
Work primarily from ServiceNow, managing the Tier 3 queue end-to-end:

o Triage and prioritize escalations

o Drive troubleshooting and resolution

o Document findings, actions taken, and resolution steps clearly

o Ensure timely updates, proper categorization, and clean closure notes

o Identify recurring issues and propose knowledge articles, runbooks, and standard fixes to reduce repeat incidents.
General Tier 3 Endpoint Support (Windows 11)
Resolve complex Windows 11 desktop/laptop issues escalated beyond Tier 1/2 (OS instability, login issues, app failures, drivers, performance, policy impacts, endpoint security interactions).

Perform advanced root-cause analysis and coordinate with adjacent teams (Citrix engineering, IAM/PKI, networking, endpoint management) as needed to restore service quickly.
Core Skills & Competencies
Strong troubleshooting mindset: isolate variables, reproduce issues, validate fixes, prevent regression.

Clear, high-quality ticket documentation and customer communication.

Comfortable leading incident calls, explaining technical issues to non-technical users, and setting expectations.

Qualifications
Requirements:
Demonstrated Tier 3/advanced support experience with Citrix VDI and Windows endpoints.

Must have a Bachelors degree and 5-7 years experience, additional experience considered in lieu of degree. Must have 7 years of relevant experience.

Hands-on experience supporting Citrix Workspace App on Windows and macOS.

Strong familiarity troubleshooting PIV authentication/certificate issues and the end-to-end login flow.

Proven ability to manage and execute independently in a ticket-driven environment (ServiceNow or similar).
