As our IT Operations Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind the stability of our IT services, owning major incident coordination, service restoration, and the end‑to‑end handling of production issues. You’ll lead a small, focused team while balancing hands‑on operational control with the creation of modern practices that strengthen our response capability and reduce business impact. With your mix of technical insight, people leadership, and clear communication, you’ll guide engineers and service teams through high‑pressure moments and elevate how we detect, triage, and resolve issues.

People Leadership: Experience leading technical teams or coordinating engineers and support teams in operational situations. Communication: Excellent communication skills — clear, confident, and credible with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including under pressure. Tooling: Practical experience with tools such as Jira Service Management, ServiceNow, Splunk On-Call, PagerDuty, or similar platforms used for incident management, escalation, alerting, and on-call coordination. Automation & AIOps: Understanding of automation, monitoring, event correlation, alert noise reduction, automated triage, and AI-supported approaches to operational response.

Operational Readiness, Documentation & Automation * Operational Readiness: Ensure known issues, runbooks, playbooks, escalation paths, and service dependencies are documented and usable during incidents. * Automation Support: Promote practical use of automation, tooling, and AIOps capabilities to improve alerting, event correlation, response, triage, and operational efficiency. * Continuous Improvement: Evolve the operating model to balance human response, automation, and long-term scalability. * Objective: Improve operational consistency, speed of response, and long-term efficiency of IT operations. Stakeholder Management & Cross-functional Cooperation * Stakeholder Communication: Communicate service impact, incident status, risks, and restoration progress clearly and confidently to internal stakeholders. * Internal Enablement: Build visibility and credibility for the IT Operations function across the organization. * Cross-functional Cooperation: Work closely with infrastructure, applications, security, service desk, engineering teams, and relevant external partners. * Objective: Ensure strong collaboration, clear communication, and broad organizational support for the IT Operations function.
