Shift and Operations Management
- Manage shift handoffs, rosters, and coverage to ensure uninterrupted 24×7 operations.
- Conduct shift briefings/debriefings and maintain operational logs for leadership visibility.
- Drive adherence to SOPs and escalation matrices across all shifts.
SLA Management and Stakeholder Communications
- Monitor SLA adherence for incident response and resolution; track MTTR, MTTA, MTBF, and availability metrics.
- Produce operational dashboards and reports for leadership; flag SLA breach risks proactively.
- Serve as the communications coordinator during incidents-partnering with Engineering, DevOps, Security, and IT leadership across time zones.
- Conduct periodic service reviews with stakeholders; drive continual service improvement initiatives.
Knowledge Management and Mentorship
- Contribute to and maintain runbooks, SOPs, escalation matrices, and troubleshooting guides in Confluence.
- Author knowledge articles for recurring incidents and known errors to accelerate resolution.
