• Process Ownership & Documentation: Maintain, optimize, and produce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), incident management runbooks, and communication templates to ensure readiness during major events.

• Data Quality & Reporting: Maintain the Major Incident dashboard and prepare regular reviews, metrics, and reports for various teams across the business.

• Continuous Improvement: Analyze incident trends and performance metrics to identify and execute opportunities for process optimization and automation.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, Healthcare, or a related field (or equivalent relevant work experience).

• Experience: 2-3 years of experience in IT operations, service desk, incident coordination, or related IT service management (ITSM) roles.

• Tooling & Systems: Baseline experience working with enterprise ITSM platforms (ServiceNow preferred).

• Technical Awareness: Foundational technology awareness and an aptitude for learning complex, proprietary software architectures.

• Incident Management & Analytical Skills: Strong incident management, decision-making, and analytical skills. Proven ability to analyze high volumes of technical data and work effectively under time pressure in a fast-paced environment.

• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to articulate complex technical issues concisely to stakeholders at all management levels.

• Availability: Ability to participate in an on-call rotation to support 24x7 operations, including weekend/evening coverage as required by the team schedule.

• AI-Driven Process Optimization: Practical experience utilizing AI tooling or machine learning features within ITSM platforms to drive continuous improvement, automate routine workflows, or flag anomalous incident trends.

• Industry Experience: 2+ years of experience in Healthcare and/or Lab Operations with functional knowledge of healthcare data, PHI, HIPAA, and CAP/CLIA regulatory environments.

• Methodologies: Working knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies.
