What you will do
- Incident Command & Bridge Leadership
- Own and chair all major incident bridge calls — taking command from the moment an incident is declared, driving technical teams toward resolution, and preventing call drift or confusion
- Apply a structured incident command approach: establish clear roles, maintain situational awareness, enforce time-boxed actions, and escalate decisively when progress stalls
- Keep calls focused and productive — cut through noise, redirect off-topic discussion, and ensure every participant knows their next action
- Determine when to escalate to management and lead that escalation with a clear, concise incident summary
- Incident Lifecycle Management
- Identify, prioritize, triage, and classify incidents rapidly using defined severity criteria — independently making P1/P2 judgments without waiting for consensus
- Manage the full incident record in ServiceNow: accurate timelines, action logs, resolution steps, and closure documentation
- Coordinate across infrastructure, application, network, and cloud teams to ensure the right resolver groups are engaged and accountable
- Oversee vendor partners during incidents, holding them to SLA commitments and escalating internally when they fall short
- Communication & Stakeholder Management
- Draft and distribute timely, accurate incident notifications and status updates to stakeholders — translating technical impact into business language
- Provide clear executive-level summaries during P1 incidents, calibrating technical depth to the audience
- Maintain a communication cadence throughout the incident lifecycle, including proactive updates when resolution timelines shift
- Problem Management & Continuous Improvement
- Lead post-incident reviews (PIRs) for major incidents — facilitating blameless root cause analysis and driving clear action items to closure
- Identify recurring incident patterns and work with infrastructure teams on permanent fixes
- Track and report on incident KPIs and SLAs; proactively surface trends and areas of risk to TOC leadership
- Contribute to the development and refinement of incident runbooks, escalation paths, and response playbooks
- Team & Process Ownership
- Act as the escalation point for TOC staff when incidents require management engagement
- Coach and develop junior team members on incident management practices, bridge call etiquette, and communication standards
- Maintain awareness of upcoming infrastructure changes and releases, proactively assessing potential incident risk
- What we are looking for
- Essential
- Proven track record commanding P1/major incident bridge calls — you have been the person running the call, not just attending it
- Ability to take charge in high-pressure, ambiguous situations: you drive teams, not wait for consensus
- Strong verbal communication — clear, direct, and calm under pressure; able to control a call with competing voices
- 5+ years in IT operations or infrastructure support, with direct involvement in incident or problem management
- Hands-on experience with ServiceNow (incident management, dashboards, reporting)
- Working knowledge of ITIL incident and problem management frameworks
- Strongly Preferred
- ITIL Foundation certification (v3 or v4); Intermediate or Practitioner a plus
- Experience in large, complex enterprise environments with global infrastructure scope
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid on-prem/cloud environments
- Experience with major incident notification tooling (PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or equivalent)
- Background in financial services, insurance, or other regulated industry environments
- Behavioral Profile — What Great Looks Like in This Role
- Takes ownership without being asked — sees a gap, fills it
- Communicates with precision: no ambiguity about what is happening, what is being done, and by whom
- Stays composed when the bridge gets loud — de-escalates tension while keeping urgency high
- Pushes back constructively when teams are stalling, deflecting, or off-track
- Follows through: actions get closed, not just logged
- This is not a monitoring-and-ticket-routing role. If you are looking for a position where you respond to alerts and hand off to resolver teams, this is not the right fit. We need someone who leads from the front during incidents — commanding calls, making judgment calls, and driving resolution themselves.
