• Build and maintain standardized runbook templates (e.g., DR test, migration events) including phase structure, task types, and required metadata.
• Partner with application and platform teams to capture end-to-end cutover steps, dependencies, owners, prerequisites, validation checks, and rollback procedures.
• Ensure runbooks meet governance standards: completeness, naming conventions, task clarity, time estimates, sequencing, and required approvals. Coordinate cutover readiness reviews and dry runs; confirm execution owners, communications plan, and validation criteria are in place.
• Lead or facilitate runbook execution in Cutover: launch events, manage task progression, monitor blockers, maintain real-time status, and ensure timely escalations.
• Integrate Cutover usage with broader release/change processes (e.g., change records, release calendars, maintenance windows) and maintain traceability for audits.
• Manage Cutover reporting and dashboards: runbook status, completion metrics, cycle time, missed steps, and post-event outcomes.
• Maintain runbook documentation and knowledge articles; provide training and coaching for new teams adopting Cutover.
• Drive continuous improvement via post-implementation reviews (PIRs), lessons learned, and template/process enhancements.
• Intake: Receive request for a new/updated runbook and confirm scope, timeline, and stakeholders.
• Build: Draft or update runbook in Cutover using approved templates and required controls.
• Review: Conduct readiness review with owners; ensure validations, communications, and rollback are defined.

• Close: Capture results, evidence, and lessons learned; update templates and artifacts.

• Familiarity with incident/problem management and post-event review practices.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation rigor, and an audit-ready mindset.
