• Monitor and backstop CloudFit automation in a 24x7x365 operational environment. 
• Respond quickly and decisively to alerts, service disruptions, and emerging issues, escalating when needed. 
• Maintain awareness of customer impact and follow established security, incident, and communication protocols. 

Customer & Stakeholder Communication 

• Engage customers through phone, email, and IT support tickets with professionalism, empathy, and clear next steps. 
• Communicate proactively and reactively with customers and CloudFit leaders during critical situations. 
• Keep stakeholders informed when information is incomplete, priorities shift, or an issue requires escalation. 

Incident Coordination 

• Support Major Incident Bridges by organizing information, communicating status, and helping drive the response forward. 
• Prioritize competing work appropriately and maintain accurate incident notes, ticket updates, and handoffs. 
• Partner with teammates and technical escalation groups to move issues toward resolution. 

Learning & Continuous Improvement 

• Build proficiency with monitoring, ticketing, cloud, automation, networking, and cybersecurity concepts used by the team. 
• Use quieter operational periods productively for training, documentation, process improvement, and certification progress. 
• Apply feedback, share knowledge, and strengthen readiness for increasingly complex work. 

What Success Looks Like 

During the first 6 months, you will:
