Life on the team
At Computacenter, our Major Incident Managers play a vital role in supporting some of the UK's most critical IT services. Working within a highly collaborative operational environment, you'll lead the response to high-priority incidents, bringing together technical teams, suppliers and stakeholders to restore service as quickly as possible and minimise business impact.
This is a fast-paced and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You'll take ownership of major incidents from identification through to resolution, acting as a trusted leader during service disruption while helping to drive continual service improvement across the wider organisation.
What you’ll do
- Lead the end-to-end management of major incidents, driving service restoration and minimising business impact.
- Provide clear leadership and direction during incident bridges and stakeholder calls.
- Coordinate technical resolver groups, support teams and third-party suppliers to keep incidents progressing with pace and control.
- Deliver accurate, timely and professional communications to customer and internal stakeholders.
- Manage escalations, risks and dependencies throughout the incident lifecycle.
- Ensure activities, decisions and actions are appropriately documented.
- Facilitate post-incident reviews and identify opportunities to improve service resilience and operational effectiveness.
