Technical Operations Specialist - Second Line Support

The Role

We're seeking a Technical Operations Specialist to join our Technical Operations - Second Line Support (2LS) team! This role is crucial in enhancing our operational capabilities and providing additional high-quality support to internal and external stakeholders. You'll investigate complex operational challenges, improve automation and tooling, and drive long-term improvements that enhance the experience of our customers and prospects.

Day to Day, Your Responsibilities Will Include:

• Manage complex issues: Investigate and resolve complex operational issues raised by internal teams and customers.

• Spark innovative ideas to improve Netcraft's services: Identify opportunities to improve automation, tooling, and operational processes that enhance the quality of service for our largest customers and prospects.
