Are you someone who strives to find the underlying cause of any situation? Are you uncomfortable with unknowns? Do you have an innately investigative and analytical mindset? If so, then we need someone like You here in Citis global Problem Management team. We are an enterprise focused organization responsible for risk mitigation analysis and remediation tracking. We seek to reduce the opportunity for recurrence and prevent similar events in the future. You would join an elite group of investigators who come in after the fire to triage the series of events that transpired and lead solutions to complex issues from inception to delivery. Much in the same way that the results from real Fire investigators have yielded advances like active/passive sprinklers, multiple ingress/egress points, centralized alerting / response, etc. development / implementation to complex issues. But you would not only be reactive following an incident, you would also seek to prevent new issues from occurring through comprehensive data analysis and review.
**Job Description:**
+ **As a Problem Management Lead** you will be responsible for managing and overseeing the problem management delivery within the organization, focusing on minimizing the impact of recurring IT incidents and problems. This role involves leading root cause analysis, collaborating with various teams across the globe to implement permanent fixes, and continuously improving the problem management process to enhance system reliability and performance.

The Service Now service management suite is the tool of choice for all ITIL process disciplines, and you will be a custodian and change agent for our Problem Management processes but also how they interact and apply to other ITIL process disciplines.
+ Throughout the process lifecycle, the team will be expected to provide clear executive / business focused write-ups to our partners (post-mortem reports). At any moment, a Problem Manager should be able to discuss the details with the infrastructure or business support units and/or provide verbal updates to mid and senior level management.
+ The ideal individual for this role will have a good blend of technical and soft skills. Someone who is dynamic, has strong deductive reasoning capabilities, can communicate up/down/across a Global enterprise, drives initiatives from inception to closure and has a strong attention to detail / does not give up until the root cause has been eliminated permanently from the environment. Experience in large scale Business/Technology Operations, Service Management / Continual Service Improvement and/or Business/App Support would certainly be an asset but should not discourage anyone with the core skills described here or below from applying.
