Key Responsibilities

The Incident Management team are accountable for a number of key activities that are critical to the success of the IT Operations team. These range from the resolution of Major Incidents, through to the provision of an operational escalation point for key business representatives.

As Incident Manager your primary function is to manage and co-ordinate the resolution of major (P1) incidents.

As an Incident Manager you will be responsible, with the rest of the team, to cover major issues across London, Europe, Middle East and India.

In this capacity the Incident Manager must display excellent customer services and relationship building skills. In this capacity you will have to demonstrate an ability to work on your own, get results, and provide end to end ownership of issues through to resolution.

The final, notable area of responsibility is assisting the Incident and Problem Management Manager to ensure that the information required for suitable follow up, and root cause analysis, is sufficient and provided in a timely manner.
