  • Reply promptly to issues, questions and requests raised ensuring SLAs are met
  • Take the responsibility of owning Incidents and leading them through to completion, following the Incident Management process
  • Work closely with Customer Operations Specialists and Development and Infrastructure teams to ensure outstanding end-to-end-support
  • Proactively contribute to monitoring and alerting solutions
  • Locate and investigate bugs, alerts and other issues as they are raised
  • Suggest system improvements to reduce the need for manual intervention
  • Help maintain a backlog of solutions to problems, collaborating with product teams
  • Write and update system and process documentation
  • Where vital, build SQL update statements to be issued as change requests
