The Role

Key Responsibilities

1. ITIL & Service Management Practice

• Apply ITIL principles consistently in daily service operations, balancing process compliance with the speed required to restore service.

• Follow and reinforce defined process roles, handoffs, and records across Incident, Problem, Change, Monitoring, and Event Management.

• Ensure tickets, problem records, and related changes are correctly linked so work remains traceable between processes.

• Support resolver teams and service desk colleagues in understanding escalation paths, priorities, and service management expectations.

2. Incident & Major Incident Management

• Manage day-to-day incidents within agreed service levels, ensuring they are correctly prioritized, assigned, escalated, and communicated.

• Act as Major Incident Manager for assigned services or on-call rotations, opening the bridge, establishing roles and update cadence, and driving toward restoration, escalating to senior service management for the most critical or enterprise-wide events.

• Keep the bridge focused on business impact, recovery options, blockers, decisions, and next actions with clear owners.

• Prepare and send clear, timely updates to technical teams, service owners, and business stakeholders using established communication templates, and contribute to leadership updates.

• Maintain accurate major incident timelines, actions, decisions, and communications to support review and audit.

• Prepare and facilitate post-incident reviews, documenting findings and ensuring follow-up actions are raised in Problem Management, Change Management, or improvement backlogs.

3. Triage & Troubleshooting Coordination

• Perform initial triage to establish service impact, urgency, affected users or business processes, symptoms, and the technical teams required.

• Coordinate troubleshooting across resolver teams, ensuring evidence is shared, duplicate effort is avoided, and actions have clear owners and timelines.

• Recognize when to escalate, engage additional expertise or vendors, declare a major incident, or pursue a workaround, following defined criteria and seeking guidance when needed.

• Remain calm and organized during high-pressure situations, relying on technical subject-matter experts for diagnosis while keeping the response on track.

4. Change Management

• Check recent and scheduled change activity during incidents and support the Change team with failed-change, emergency-change, and rollback information.

• Contribute operational input to change reviews, such as service impact, dependencies, and readiness concerns.

• Flag incidents that appear to be caused by changes so that patterns can be reviewed with accountable teams.

5. Problem Management

• Identify major, recurring, or high-risk incidents and raise problem records with sufficient evidence, timelines, and context.

• Facilitate root-cause analysis sessions using structured techniques (e.g., 5 Whys, timeline analysis, fishbone) and track corrective actions to completion with accountable teams.

• Create and maintain known-error records and workarounds so service can be restored faster when a permanent fix is not yet available.

• Monitor incident recurrence after corrective actions are delivered and report whether the problem has been effectively resolved.

6. Monitoring & Event Management

• Use monitoring dashboards, alerts, and observability tools to detect issues early, confirm service impact, and support faster diagnosis.

• Review incident data to identify monitoring gaps, late detection, missing alerts, and noisy alerts, and raise improvement requests with the monitoring team.

• Apply Event Management practices to distinguish informational events from actionable conditions and help reduce alert fatigue.

• Bring relevant monitoring and event data into triage, bridge discussions, post-incident reviews, and problem investigations as supporting evidence.

7. Service Reporting & Stakeholder Engagement

• Produce regular service reports covering incident volume, severity mix, restoration time, major incidents, recurrence, and corrective-action status.

• Highlight trends and recurring issues to senior service management and help translate them into improvement actions.

• Build effective working relationships with application, infrastructure, network, cloud, monitoring, service desk, vendor, and business teams.

• Contribute to service reviews and operational meetings by preparing data, presenting incident and problem updates, and tracking agreed actions.

Who You Are

Required Experience & Qualifications

• Typically 3-5 years of experience in IT operations, IT support, or IT service management, including at least 1-2 years working directly in Incident or Major Incident Management.

• Good organizational, prioritization, and facilitation skills, with the confidence to keep technical teams focused during an incident.
