More about your role

As our Incident Lead, you will take ownership of the end-to-end management of IT incidents, ensuring services are restored quickly and disruption to the business is minimised.

You'll maintain strong operational control throughout the incident lifecycle, ensuring incidents are logged, prioritised and managed in line with agreed standards and ITIL-aligned processes. You'll also facilitate post-incident reviews, providing insight into root causes, identifying trends, and feeding improvements into Problem Management. Alongside this, you'll deliver clear reporting on incident performance and continuously enhance processes, tooling and governance.
