What You'll Do

communication, and resolution from declaration to closure.
● Perform initial triage — gather basic diagnostics, follow runbooks — then escalate to the

cadence.
● Support operational governance, including change management reviews.
What You Bring
● Experience leading incident response as an Incident Commander or Major Incident
Manager during high-severity outages.

executives alike.
● Experience running structured postmortems or root-cause analysis.
● Strong organizational skills to track multiple action items and deadlines.
● Ability to follow documented playbooks and exercise judgement regarding the need for
escalation.
