## Description

Our client needs an Operations Support Analyst to own first-line support for a critical IBM i data platform. Right now this support work is split across a developer and a couple of part-time people, with no formal process behind it - you'd pull it all into one clear point of ownership. When issues come up (a missing vendor file, a data problem, a user request), you're the one who kicks off troubleshooting, figures out the next step, and decides when to pull in a developer. Part of the job is building the support process itself: standing up a real ticketing channel so requests stop living in scattered email threads. This is a role for someone who likes bringing order to something ad-hoc and being the dependable bridge between the business and the technical team., * Serve as first-line support for the platform - monitor Outlook, Teams, and ServiceNow for user requests and application errors, and start the troubleshooting effort to find the root cause

 * Help formalize the support channel, moving users onto a real ticketing process so requests can be tracked and reported on
 * Perform QA and end-to-end testing on new applications, then handle installs, configurations, and change requests
 * Take on maintenance programming (bug fixes and minor enhancements) and system tasks like ACS Index Advisor reviews, reorgs and purges, and user access setup
 * Document issues, fixes, and processes so the team has a reliable reference
