  • Manage on-call rotations for P1 critical incidents (e.g., response <15 minutes, resolution <4 hours per RFP).
  • Enforce ITIL processes for incident, problem, and change management; maintain and update knowledge bases to promote self-service and reduce repeat tickets.
  • Analyze ticket trends using tools like Power BI to identify root causes (e.g., high volumes in domain accounts/passwords) and propose automations for cost reductions.
  • Coordinate with business stakeholders for EMEA/US coverage, including demand forecasting (30-60-90 plans) to handle spikes like acquisitions.
  • Implement ISO 27001 controls (e.g., secure logging of PHI-related tickets) and ensure HIPAA/FDA compliance in medtech contexts.
  • Facilitate team training and support Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to track CSAT and SLAs.
