IT Service Desk Analyst – Cigna, Mississauga, ON
Location: Mississauga, ON | Company: Cigna
Cigna is hiring a full-time IT Service Desk Analyst in Mississauga, Ontario, to provide technical support for employees and business operations across Express Scripts Canada.
This hybrid position focuses on resolving technology issues, documenting support requests and helping users work effectively with company systems, applications and devices. It may suit candidates with previous service desk experience who can combine technical knowledge with clear, patient and professional customer service.
Supporting Daily Technology Operations
The IT Service Desk Analyst serves as an initial point of contact for employees experiencing technical difficulties. The role involves gathering information, identifying the likely cause of an issue and guiding users through practical troubleshooting steps. Requests may involve computers, software, user accounts, network access, mobile devices or communication tools.
Beyond resolving individual incidents, the analyst contributes to the reliability of the wider technology environment. Accurate documentation, consistent escalation and timely follow-up help technical teams identify recurring problems and maintain dependable support for employees working across different departments and locations.
Key Areas of Responsibility
The position combines front-line technical assistance, incident management and customer communication. Daily priorities may change depending on incoming support volumes, system conditions and the operational impact of each request.
Technical Troubleshooting
Assess reported computer, application, account and connectivity problems and guide users through appropriate troubleshooting procedures.
Incident Documentation
Create and update support tickets with accurate descriptions, troubleshooting actions, outcomes and any additional follow-up requirements.
User Support
Assist employees through telephone, email and other approved communication channels while maintaining a professional and service-focused approach.
Issue Escalation
Recognize problems that require advanced technical assistance and transfer them to the correct internal team with complete supporting information.
Access and System Assistance
Support common account, password, application and system-access requests while following established security and verification procedures.
Knowledge Sharing
Use internal support documentation and contribute useful information that may help colleagues resolve similar incidents more efficiently.
Technical Experience and Qualifications
Cigna is seeking candidates with post-secondary education in computer science, information technology or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience. Previous work in a service desk, help desk or another technical support environment is particularly relevant to the responsibilities of this position.
Applicants should understand common desktop technologies, operating systems, business applications and basic networking concepts. Familiarity with tools and technologies such as Windows, Microsoft Office, Active Directory, VPN connections, mobile devices and remote-support systems may help candidates respond effectively to different types of user requests.
Skills That May Help Candidates Succeed
Technical knowledge is important, but the role also requires patience, organization and strong communication. Users may have different levels of technical experience, so the analyst must be able to explain troubleshooting instructions clearly and adjust the approach to each situation.
A structured approach helps the analyst collect relevant details, test possible causes and determine the most appropriate resolution or escalation path.
A calm and respectful manner helps users feel supported, particularly when technical problems interrupt important work or create time-sensitive challenges.
Technical instructions must be explained in straightforward language while ticket notes should provide enough detail for other support professionals.
The ability to assess urgency and business impact helps ensure that high-priority incidents receive appropriate attention and follow-up.
Service desk employees regularly encounter different systems, devices and user scenarios, making continuous learning an important part of the role.
Hybrid Schedule and Service Desk Coverage
