A **Major Incident Manager (MIM)** is typically an IT service‑management professional responsible for leading the end‑to‑end response and resolution of high‑impact outages or critical service disruptions. The role sits within Incident/Service Management and is a key escalation point when normal incident handling fails or business impact is severe.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or related field; often preferred.
- +6 years of experience in incident management, operations, or support roles, with exposure to handling high‑severity incidents
- ITIL / incident‑management certifications (e.g., ITIL 4, MIM certification) are commonly expected.
- Familiarity with cloud, infrastructure, or application stacks (depending on domain: cloud provider, banking, telecom, etc.).
ADVANCED ENGLISH IS A MUST

Responsibilities:
- End‑to‑end ownership of major incidents: own, coordinate, and drive resolution of high‑priority (often P1) outages from detection to closure.
- Lead incident bridges and war‑rooms: chair incident calls, coordinate cross‑functional teams (SMEs, vendors, operations, security), and ensure clear roles and timelines.
- Stakeholder communication: issue timely updates to senior management, customers, and internal teams, tailored to each audience (business vs technical).
- Escalation and governance: escalate when needed, enforce SLAs, and ensure adherence to incident and change‑management processes (including emergency‑change handling).
- Post‑incident activities: drive **post‑mortems** (MIRs / RCA), document lessons learned, and feed actions into problem management and continuous‑improvement initiatives.
