This opportunity

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Cloud Operations Specialist to join a major technology program at the point where the operational workplace is being designed and built - rather than stepping into an established system and simply keeping it running.

You'll play a key role throughout the design, deployment and operational readiness phases, helping shape how the technology environment will be supported, monitored, secured and operated before transitioning into the day-to-day Operate & Maintain phase.

Working closely with technology, systems engineering, our Azure Architect, security, release and operational stakeholders, you'll bring an operational mindset to the project from the outset and ensure the environment is genuinely ready for production.

What you'll be doing:

You will take ownership of the operational readiness and transition strategy. We are in the throes of building 4 development and test environments. Once stood up, you be in charge of supervising, monitoring and supporting these environments with L1 and L2 issues as our internal Cloud Specialist – making this a role suit a 'hands on' support specialist role.

- Defining operational handover procedures for the transition from project delivery into O&M; (Operate and maintain).
- Leading IT Operations Readiness assessments throughout the project lifecycle.




- Providing operational input into the design and deployment of the technology setting.
- Establishing monitoring, alerting, operational runbooks and support processes.
- Developing and validating disaster recovery capability, including testing and remediation.
- Contributing to establishing the major incident management, escalation and service restoration processes.
- Ensuring all systems and processes remain compliant and certified as required with payment, security, and operational frameworks
- Working with and overseeing the Hosting Provider and other technology partners to ensure operational performance and resilience.
- Providing L1 and L2 'hands on' support and subsequent escalation of L3 issues through to 3rd party vendor where required. Collaborate with other parties in reviewing logs and identification/resolution of issues.
