- Work closely with business teams to understand operational processes, mapping workflows, translating requirements into clear technical specifications, and driving continuous improvement across systems and processes
- Manage and support integrations between applications, databases, and external systems, ensuring API connections, data feeds, and interface schedules operate reliably, and collaborating with internal and external developers to resolve issues and implement new connections
- Act as the escalation point for business-critical incidents, leading root cause analysis, problem resolution, and on-call support where required, while managing supplier relationships, SLAs, and vendor performance
What they're looking for
- Strong hands‑on experience supporting and configuring enterprise or business‑critical applications, with a solid understanding of application architecture, databases, APIs, and integrations. Alongside having the ability to code in SQL on live applications.
- Working knowledge of ITIL processes, particularly change, incident, and problem management, with a methodical approach to documentation, governance, and compliance
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear business language and work effectively across cross‑functional teams and external suppliers
