We are looking for an experienced IT Problem Manager to lead enterprise-wide Problem Management practices and drive the identification, investigation, and resolution of recurring IT service issues.

This role is ideal for professionals who excel at uncovering root causes, leading cross-functional investigations, and driving long-term improvements across technology, processes, vendors, and operations. Rather than serving as the technical resolver, you will act as the facilitator, investigator, and governance lead, ensuring that problems are properly analyzed, corrective actions are implemented, and service quality continually improves.


What You'll Do

Problem Management & Governance

  • Lead and continuously improve the Problem Management practice.

  • Establish governance, standards, processes, and reporting for problem investigations.

  • Identify recurring service issues, trends, and systemic risks across IT environments.

  • Facilitate RCA workshops using techniques such as:

    • 5 Whys

    • Fault Tree Analysis

    • Pareto Analysis

    • Timeline Analysis

  • Drive accountability across stakeholders and ensure investigations maintain momentum.

Service Improvement & Risk Reduction

  • Develop and track corrective actions, workarounds, and Known Error records.

  • Ensure remediation plans are implemented and validated.

  • Partner with Incident, Change, Knowledge, Risk, and Service Management teams to reduce recurring issues.

  • Identify opportunities for Continual Service Improvement (CSI).

Stakeholder & Vendor Management

  • Coordinate with technical SMEs, service owners, managed service providers, and vendors.

  • Challenge assumptions, validate evidence, and maintain investigation quality standards.

  • Escalate unresolved issues, ownership gaps, and overdue remediation actions.

Reporting & Analytics

  • Maintain accurate problem records and investigation documentation.

  • Produce trend analysis, executive reports, and service improvement recommendations.

  • Measure business value through reduction of incident recurrence, service impact, and operational risks.


What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Operations, Risk Management, or a related field.

  • Minimum 7 years of experience in IT Service Management, Service Operations, Reliability Engineering, Problem Management, or IT Operations.

  • At least 3 years leading Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations and cross-functional problem resolution activities.

  • Experience working within multi-vendor or enterprise IT environments.

  • ITIL-based Problem Management

  • Incident Management

  • Major Incident Management

  • Change Management

  • Knowledge Management

  • Configuration Management

  • Service Level Management

  • Service Improvement Programs

  • Risk and Governance Frameworks


Tools & Platforms

What Makes You Successful
