• Categorize and prioritize incidents and requests using standard processes with rapid escalation for critical business impact
• Communicate status through incident notification system (INS) updates and flash reports and keep stakeholders informed through recovery and verification
• Maintain the knowledge base, produce management information (MI) reporting as required and coordinate disaster recovery (DR) tests and service metrics monitoring

What we're looking for
