• Maintain Operational Awareness: Maintain a clear view of the state of the environment at any given moment, know what has changed recently, what is at risk, and which services are most critical right now.
• Operate with Operational Intelligence: Translate technical activity into mission and enterprise risk, connect incidents to potential downstream impact, and flag issues early so they can be contained.
• Provide Insight, not just input: Use monitoring tools, logs, and the ITSM platform as storytelling platforms, identify trends, recurring issues, SOP violations, and performance degradation before they become outages.
• Master triage and escalation: Ask the right questions early, determine who else may be affected, decide when to engage engineering teams, and escalate with clear summaries, documented actions, and specific requests for assistance.
• Monitor infrastructure, applications, and services across a hybrid enterprise, responding to alerts from dashboards, logs, and monitoring tools.
• Perform first-line triage of events and incidents, validate alerts, separate symptoms from core issues, and quickly assess scope and impact.
• Correlate events across multiple systems to recognize patterns, performance anomalies, and early indicators of broader issues.
• Own incidents from creation to resolution, open and maintain tickets, drive updates, coordinate with Tier 2 and Tier 3 technicians, and ensure clean hand offs between shifts.
• Communicate clearly with internal teams, engineering partners, and mission stakeholders, provide calm, concise, fact-based status during incidents and change events.
• Execute established standard operating procedures, including authorized outage coordination and operational steps for planned changes.
• Maintain strong ticket hygiene, document actions, timelines, decisions, and next steps so any teammate can understand the status at a glance.
• Contribute to high quality shift turnover documentation so the incoming team has an accurate picture of the current state of operations.
