Job description

Join our mission to reduce harm to communities by strengthening the Group’s ability to prevent, detect and respond to economic crime. As part of the Economic Crime Prevention Platform, you’ll play a critical role in maintaining service availability across more than 100 applications, supporting the Group’s resilience and operational excellence.

This is a senior-level role where you’ll lead incident recovery efforts, drive continuous improvement, and help shape how we scale service reliability across cloud and legacy environments. If you bring major incident management experience, a passion for automation, and thrive in high-pressure environments, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead and coordinate technical recovery efforts during major incidents, engaging engineers and senior stakeholders
  • Maintain a calm, focused environment to enable effective resolution and protect engineering teams
  • Ensure incident reports are clear, actionable, and support problem management
  • Drive service improvement initiatives including automation, monitoring, and alerting
  • Represent the Technical Recovery Bridge team and uphold service principles and standards
  • Mentor and develop team members, fostering a collaborative and customer-focused culture
  • Explore patterns in incident data to identify risks and mitigation strategies
  • Contribute to strategic planning and technical decision-making across the ECP Platform

Essential skills and experience:

  • Proven experience in major incident management and ITIL disciplines
  • Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills
  • Operational excellence in IT support, with understanding of complex systems architecture
  • Familiarity with Microservice, Unix, and Mainframe operating systems
  • Ability to work under pressure and communicate technical issues clearly to diverse audiences
  • Self-motivated with a continuous improvement mindset

And any experience of these would be really useful:

  • Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) or cloud platform experience (e.g. GCP)
  • Knowledge of the payments industry, including schemes, SLAs, and regulatory context
  • Experience with Dynatrace, Splunk, and modern observability tools
  • Exposure to automation tooling and DevOps practices
