In this position, you'll have the opportunity to influence the evolution of our infrastructure operations by implementing sound ITSM principles and driving measurable outcomes in a regulated environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end operational reliability of server and storage infrastructure services, ensuring stability, performance, and scalability.
- Drive automation initiatives to eliminate repetitive manual tasks, improve operational efficiency, and reduce time-to-restore for incidents.
- Develop and maintain operational documentation, including runbooks, escalation paths, and recovery patterns, ensuring seamless handoffs across teams.
- Collaborate with platform and development teams to design and implement automation solutions using governed patterns.
- Lead efforts to operationalize and standardize IT Service Management (ITSM) practices, leveraging platforms like ServiceNow to drive ownership-based routing, consistent change controls, and improved visibility.
- Identify recurring issues and implement process improvements to eliminate repeat incidents, focusing on long-term stability rather than short-term fixes.
- Partner with vendors and internal stakeholders to reduce reliance on reactive problem-solving, institutionalize knowledge, and establish repeatable operations.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by embedding controls, validation artifacts, and reporting discipline into day-to-day operations.
- Influence and drive standardization across teams and vendors through clear communication, measurable goals, and evidence-based decision-making.
- Act as a key contributor in the transition away from legacy platforms while ensuring operational readiness for modernized infrastructure components.

Clarifying statements
- This role partners with the ServiceNow Platform Owner and platform developers to operationalize ServiceNow outcomes in the Infrastructure tower; it does not own ServiceNow platform administration or the ServiceNow roadmap.
- This is not a ticket-queue role and not a platform admin role. Success is measured through improved operational predictability, reduction of recurring issues, stronger governance and standardization, sustainable automation, and overall service stability - not day-to-day ticket throughput.

Qualification summary
- Typically 5-8 years (or equivalent progressive experience) in infrastructure operations / reliability with accountability for outcomes: stability, time-to-restore, repeat-incident reduction, and operational readiness.
- Proven ability to build repeatable operations: runbooks, escalation paths, standard recovery patterns, and disciplined problem elimination (not just restoring service and moving on).
- Strong toil-reduction mindset: identifies repeat manual work and replaces it with standardized procedures and safe automation; collaborates effectively with platform/development resources to implement automation through governed patterns.
- Demonstrated ability to operationalize an ITSM platform into real outcomes: ownership-based routing, consistent change patterns, measurable controls, and visibility that reduces 'unknown dependency' outages.
- Comfortable in regulated environments: builds controls and evidence into normal operations (documentation, validation artifacts, reporting discipline) so audit response is repeatable and not hero-driven.
- Governance without authority: can drive adoption and standardization across tower teams and vendors through influence, clarity, and measurable outcomes.
- Vendor workload reduction orientation: aligns to the charter-reduce reliance on vendor heroics by institutionalizing knowledge and removing repeat work so the workload shrinks over time.
- Strong learning agility: can ramp into an environment quickly, prioritize the highest-risk stability gaps, and turn them into repeatable standards and automation.
Environment context
The items below describe what you may encounter; deep expertise in every tool is not required if you demonstrate strong operational ownership and automation outcomes.
- ServiceNow (ITSM Phase 2 ITOM capabilities being enabled): Discovery/CMDB, Service Mapping, Event Management, and ITSM workflow enhancements.
- Common tower touchpoints in stability work: Windows Server infrastructure, identity/authentication services, VDI dependencies, hyperconverged infrastructure, and cloud-hosted components where applicable.
- Monitoring inputs that may feed Event Management: SolarWinds and similar sources used for actionable alert routing.
- Legacy platform exposure note: VMware, Cisco, and NetApp familiarity is helpful but not a primary requirement; we are intentionally moving away from these platforms over time, and this role is not being hired to be a legacy platform operator.
