• Oversees escalated service request queues, prioritizes mission-impacting incidents, and directs coordinated response activities across engineering, cybersecurity, data operations, and platform operations elements to restore full operational capability.
• Conducts advanced troubleshooting for privileged access failures, cross-enclave onboarding, non-standard account provisioning, and specialized resource allocations spanning AWS GovCloud, Secret Region, and intelligence community cloud services.
• Evaluates operational performance through mean time to restoration metrics, escalation frequency patterns, Tier-2 bypass indicators, and system stability signatures to recommend service improvements that elevate readiness and reinforce performance objectives.
• Produces expert analyses, incident reports, workflow remediation plans, and knowledge artifacts supporting enterprise modernization and customer experience initiatives.
• Trains Tier-1 and Tier-2 personnel on advanced diagnostic methods, structured troubleshooting frameworks, and enclave-specific operational procedures to strengthen team proficiency and accelerate restoration timelines across the full support continuum.
• Performs other duties as assigned.
• Current Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance.
• 10–12 years of progressively responsible experience in IT technical support, systems administration, or a closely related field, with demonstrated expert-level proficiency resolving complex, high-priority incidents in enterprise or multi-enclave defense environments.
• Hands-on expertise with enterprise IT service management and observability platforms including ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Splunk, and CloudWatch, as well as identity and access management systems such as Active Directory and AWS IAM across classified and unclassified networks.
• Demonstrated experience supporting or administering cloud environments in AWS GovCloud, AWS Secret Region, or intelligence community cloud services, including cross-enclave access provisioning, privileged account management, and non-standard onboarding workflows.
• Proven ability to lead technical response activities, mentor junior and mid-level support personnel, and develop knowledge artifacts, diagnostic procedures, and training materials that improve team-wide performance and reduce escalation rates.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making capabilities, with a proven ability to weigh the relative costs and benefits of potential actions and identify the most appropriate solution.
• Highly developed interpersonal and oral/written communication skills, with the ability to effectively and professionally interact with a diverse set of stakeholders (from peers to end-users to executive management).
