• Participate in problem management activities by identifying root causes, documenting known errors, and contributing to permanent corrective actions.
• Support change management efforts, including review, testing coordination, execution of approved changes, and post-change validation.
• Analyze trends in incidents and requests to provide insights that support service reliability, operational maturity, and continuous improvement.
• Create, execute, and maintain IT operational runbooks to ensure consistent, repeatable support and response procedures.
• Keep runbooks current based on changes to systems, processes, or technologies, coordinating updates with engineering, platform, and support teams.
• Document support procedures, troubleshooting steps, and resolutions in ServiceNow Knowledge Base articles.
• Capture successful support outcomes and lessons learned in shared knowledge repositories to improve Tier I efficiency and enable self-service.
• Identify and analyze business needs, gather requirements, and help define scope and objectives for system enhancements or operational improvements.
• Research business requirements and document relationships between users, business processes, data, applications, and devices to support impact analysis.
• Translate business requirements into clear, actionable application or operational requirements.
• Make recommendations for technology-based solutions or process improvements using new or existing tools.
• Assist with product refinement and backlog prioritization by contributing operational insights and support data.
• Use AI-enabled monitoring and event intelligence tools to receive, interpret, and prioritize operational alerts across applications, infrastructure, security, and integrations.
• Leverage AI-assisted dashboards and visualizations to assess system health, service dependencies, and operational risk.
• Query AI tools to identify upstream and downstream impacts during incidents, changes, or performance issues.
• Use AI-assisted analysis to validate, enhance, and continuously improve operational runbooks, identifying gaps and outdated procedures.
• Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to validate AI-suggested remediation actions prior to execution in regulated production environments.
• Provide feedback to improve AI operational tooling accuracy, relevance, and governance over time.
• Participate in on call services providing after-hours support.
