• Act as an Incident Leader for large-running incidents 
• Provide training and mentoring to empower the team in incident management best practices 
• Oversee post-incident reviews, ensuring root cause analysis is conducted and corrective actions are tracked to completion 
• Define and track key incident metrics (MTTR, incident recurrence, etc.) to drive accountability and operational improvements 
• Use a data-driven mindset into all aspects of status reporting, and clearly and proactively communicate, across all levels of the organization, status as well as risks and mitigation plans
