Incident Manager

Omschrijving:

For the “Incident & Change Management” Chapter, we are looking for a colleague to complete our “IT Incident Management” Squad.
This squad is responsible for the smooth functioning of the incident process. The IT incident managers take on escalated and exceptional infrastructure-related incidents, managing the reporting of these incidents and propose structural improvements, when necessary.
The objective of the incident process is to ensure resolution of the IT incident within the best achievable time-frame, with the best possible quality and with the constant aim of limiting the impact to the business, as far as is possible.
The squad also takes care of the monitoring of escalated incidents in the non-production environment, although this does have a lower priority than output.

An Incident Manager monitors all incidents, and in every escalated case the Incident Manager brings together and manages a crisis team of IT specialists.

You will be responsible for:

End-to-End (E2E) monitoring of an incident, up to and including its resolution, collaborating with all the incident process stakeholders : the technical domains of IT and BP²I (our BNPP Group Infrastructure Service partner), the developers and all the other BNP Paribas Group entities.
Acceptance and activation of an escalation (in line with pre-set “escalation levels”, based on the incident impact and the urgency of the incident).
Coordination of escalated incidents, the activation and coordination of a crisis meeting, and the monitoring of the incident-related actions in order to restore service as soon as possible.
Ensuring communication within the IT organization and to the internal customers with respect to the status of an incident, and according to a communication matrix which is formulated within the incident process.
Creating and providing reporting regarding escalated incidents in our Service Management Tool Service NOW.
Creating a PIR (Post-Incident Report) for high-impact incidents: this includes a description of the incident, the impact, the actions undertaken and the lessons that the manager has been able to draw from the incident.
Creating “Problem Candidates” with the objective of: completing root-cause analysis, a description of possible structural solutions and the implementation of these solutions; thereby potentially avoiding repeat incidents.
Performing quality analysis of incident solutions in order to formulate action plans for improving incident processes.

Contribute to the creation of weekly/monthly reports of all these incidents as they relate to infrastructure or IT applications, trend analyses and “lessons learned”.
