Take ownership of incident management: triage, perform root-cause analysis, and drive timely resolution within agreed SLAs while maintaining clear communication with Front-Office stakeholders.

Handle day-to-day business requests, configuration updates, and front-to-back workflow validations.

Proactively monitor system health and platform performance using established monitoring tooling to prevent business disruptions.





Collaborate with global development and infrastructure teams to identify recurring issues and implement permanent platform enhancements.
