At Kyndryl, you'll have the opportunity to work with other IT teams, end-users, and stakeholders across the organization to ensure that service delivery is aligned with the needs and expectations of the business. As a part of our team, you'll be instrumental in documenting and updating service management procedures and workflows, monitoring and reporting on service level agreements (SLAs), and ensuring that our ITSM systems are maintained and updated to support efficient and effective service delivery.

As a Service Coordinator at Kyndryl, you'll perform post-resolution incident reviews and evaluate the effectiveness of incident resolution. You'll also be the orchestrator for incident recovery by driving the incident bridge and consolidating an integrated resolution plan when multiple competencies or business units are engaged.

With your expertise in IT services, you'll invoke problem management processes where further investigation into root cause is required and communicate the status of high-priority incidents to customers throughout the incident lifecycle, as per the communication plan.

If you're a passionate problem-solver with a drive to deliver the best possible IT services, then this is the perfect opportunity for you. Come join us at Kyndryl and let's work together to create innovative and progressive technical solutions for our customers and our communities.
