## Description

We are seeking a Manager to own the execution and continued maturity of two critical IT Service Management practices, Major Incident & Problem Management. This role leads the response to all enterprise Priority 1 incidents, coordinates rapid restoration of business services, and ensures leaders and stakeholders receive timely, accurate, and business-focused communications.

Beyond active incident response, this position sets the strategic direction for Major Incident and Problem Management. The role provides functional, dotted-line leadership to the existing MSP (Managed Service Provider) Outage Coordinators and Problem Analyst, establishes consistent operating standards, drives accountability for root-cause and corrective-action work, and uses operational insights to reduce repeat incidents and improve service reliability.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can remain composed during high-impact events, bring structure to ambiguity, influence teams without relying on direct authority, and translate technical conditions into clear business impact and decisions.
What You'll DoEnterprise Major Incident Leadership

 * Own and lead the end-to-end response for all enterprise P1 incidents, from declaration and bridge activation through service restoration, stakeholder transition, and formal closure.
 * Establish command and control during major incidents by clarifying roles, driving urgency, maintaining decision discipline, and ensuring the right technical and business resources are engaged.
 * Facilitate incident bridges, maintain focus on restoration, remove coordination obstacles, and escalate risks or resource gaps to technology leadership.
 * Ensure business impact, scope, workarounds, recovery progress, and restoration status are validated before they are communicated.
 * Coordinate executive, technology, and business communications using clear, concise, and audience-appropriate messaging.
 * Lead post-incident reviews and confirm that key decisions, timelines, lessons learned, and follow-up actions are documented.

Problem Management Ownership

 * Own the enterprise Problem Management practice, including intake, prioritization, investigation governance, known-error discipline, and closure criteria.
 * Ensure significant and recurring incidents are evaluated for problem records and that root-cause analysis is completed with appropriate rigor.
 * Drive accountable corrective and preventive actions with named owners, target dates, evidence of completion, and risk-based escalation for overdue work.
 * Partner with engineering, infrastructure, application, vendor, and service-owner teams to eliminate systemic causes and reduce recurrence.
 * Identify patterns across incidents, problems, changes, monitoring events, and service dependencies to inform reliability priorities.

Functional Team Leadership

 * Provide dotted-line leadership, operating direction, coaching, and quality oversight for MSP provided Outage Coordinators and the Problem Analyst.
 * Define role expectations, coverage models, escalation paths, facilitation standards, documentation requirements, and communication quality controls.
 * Conduct case reviews and targeted coaching to build consistency, confidence, and sound judgment across the team.
 * Coordinate workload and coverage with internal leaders and vendor management while maintaining clear accountability for practice outcomes.
 * Serve as the escalation point for complex incidents, stalled investigations, unresolved ownership, and process exceptions.

Strategy, Governance & Continuous Improvement

 * Develop and maintain the multi-year strategy, roadmap, operating model, policies, procedures, playbooks, and maturity plan for Major Incident and Problem Management.
 * Establish governance forums and performance reviews that focus on outcomes, risks, recurring failure themes, corrective-action health, and improvement priorities.
 * Define and monitor meaningful measures such as restoration performance, communication timeliness and quality, recurrence, root-cause completion, action aging, and business impact.
 * Identify opportunities to automate workflows, notifications, evidence capture, reporting, and handoffs across ITSM systems and adjacent platforms.
 * Align the practices with IT Service Management standards and integrate them with Change, Configuration, Knowledge, Event, Service Level, and Continuity Management.
 * Create training and simulation exercises that strengthen incident leadership, technical response, business-impact assessment, and executive communication.
