»       Track incident trends and produce KPI dashboards and SLA performance reports.

»       Identify recurring incidents and work with Problem Management to drive root cause elimination.

»       Champion a culture of continual service improvement across IT Operations.

»       Ensure incident management activities align with organizational policies, regulatory requirements, and audit expectations.

»       Maintain and test incident escalation matrices and on-call rosters.

»       Collaborate with Change Management to assess incident-to-change correlation.
