What We Need

We are a fast-moving technology organization that delivers 24 / 7 technical operations and infrastructure support for our products, platforms, and internal systems. Our Technical Operations Center (TOC) is the frontline for stability, visibility, and action—owning live monitoring, incident response, service requests, and operational readiness across everything we run. Our teams thrive on clarity, urgency, and the relentless pursuit of operational excellence.

We're seeking a TOC Manager to lead our global Technical Operations Center and drive a modern operations strategy that combines automation, resilience, and responsive human oversight. Reporting to the Director of Technical Operations, this leader will oversee a team that manages real-time systems monitoring, incident response, service request fulfillment, problem analysis, and launch readiness for new product rollouts. You'll play a critical role in ensuring that our platforms perform at their best—even under pressure.

Design and maintain an efficient team structure and shift rotation to guarantee continuous coverage and clear incident ownership.

Own and optimize processes for incident management, service request triage, and problem management, aligning to ITIL-based practices.

Drive operational support for product launches, ensuring playbooks, monitoring, and on-call coverage are in place pre-launch.

Collaborate with Engineering, SRE, QA, Live Services, and Support teams to ensure end-to-end operational visibility and readiness.

Coordinate with Product and Program Managers to ensure TOC engagement in go-live checklists, cutover plans, and stability monitoring post-launch.

Define, track, and report on KPIs and operational health metrics (MTTA, MTTR, SLA adherence, service request backlog, root cause trends).

Champion continuous improvement across tools, runbooks, workflows, and team training—ensuring that lessons learned become implemented solutions.

Partner with tooling teams to identify automation opportunities and improve alerting quality and signal-to-noise ratio.

Maintain strong documentation across runbooks, escalation guides, and readiness templates.

Who We Think Will Be a Great Fit

Background in service request and problem management, including tracking tools and frameworks like ITSM, ITIL, or custom operational models.

A process thinker with a bias toward automation and measurable improvement.

Skilled communicator with the ability to drive clarity and calm in high-pressure situations.

Proven success leading readiness for major launches, operational cutovers, or live product events.

Strong familiarity with operational tooling (e.g., PagerDuty, Datadog, Splunk, ServiceNow, Grafana, Jira).

Effective people leader : coaching, feedback, delegation, and team culture building.

Detail- and data-driven : able to report on trends, drive action plans, and present insights to technical and executive stakeholders.

What We Offer
