• Lead regular operational reviews (weekly, monthly, quarterly) tailored to US business timelines to report on SLA performance, system uptime, and incident trends.
• Manage SLAs, OLAs, and KPIs strictly, ensuring all service credits, compliance boundaries, and contractual obligations are met or exceeded.
• Act as the critical escalation point for major incidents, ensuring rapid resolution, cross-team coordination, and transparent communication during critical US-time zone outages,



with the flexibility to extend hours occasionally when critical situations demand it. Automation & AI Leadership (Efficiency & Innovation)
• Deliver the automation roadmap to eliminate manual tasks, reduce human error, and accelerate incident resolution across infrastructure and cloud operations.
• Lead AI-driven initiatives, such as implementing AIOps for predictive monitoring, deploying intelligent alerting mechanisms, and integrating LLMs/AI assistants to streamline internal workflows.
• Standardize Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) within the team to ensure consistent, repeatable deployment models.
• Measure and report on automation ROI, tracking key metrics like Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) reduction and hours saved. IT Operations & Team Leadership (Hyderabad)
• Directly manage and mentor a team of 10–15 engineers in Hyderabad, providing technical guidance, conducting performance reviews, and structuring robust 24/7 or shift-based coverage.
• Oversee day-to-day IT Operations, including infrastructure management, network monitoring, patching, backup/recovery, and system administration.
• Enforce ITIL frameworks across the team, establishing robust processes for Incident, Problem, Change, and Request Management.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for critical infrastructure incidents and implement permanent preventative fixes. Cloud Operations Oversight (AWS & Azure)
• Govern the customer's cloud environments, ensuring high availability, security compliance, and architectural best practices.
• Collaborate on AWS operations, overseeing core services (EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch) and optimizing workloads using the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• Support hybrid/multi-cloud frameworks, understanding Azure baselines (VMs, Entra ID,



Azure Monitor) to manage cross-platform dependencies. Required Skills & Qualifications Experience & Leadership
• 8+ years of experience in IT Infrastructure and Operations management.
• 5+ years of experience in a customer-facing Service Delivery Manager (SDM) or Technical Account Manager (TAM) role, directly managing US or international clients from an offshore delivery center.
• Proven track record of managing engineering teams of 10+ resources in shift-based or follow-the-sun environments.
• Operational Flexibility: Must be comfortable working a regular mid-shift pattern (ending late evening IST) and have the flexibility to occasionally extend hours to support critical items, high-priority rollouts, or major incident resolutions. Technical Skills (ITOps, Cloud, & Automation)
• Expertise in ITOps & Automation: Robust background in Linux/Windows administration, scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash), configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, or Puppet), and IaC (Terraform).
• AI & AIOps Exposure: Familiarity with modern AIOps platforms, automated self-healing workflows, or leveraging generative AI APIs to build internal operational efficiencies.
• Cloud Competency: Solid functional and operational understanding of AWS and Azure. Ability to review and analyze logs and guide engineers through complex cloud issues.
• Process Mastery: Deep knowledge of ITIL frameworks (ITIL v4 certification is a strong plus). Soft Skills
• Executive US Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a proven ability to communicate with extreme clarity, confidence, and empathy with US-based enterprise executives.
• Conflict Resolution: Calm under pressure with a natural ability to manage high-stakes client escalations and negotiate win-win outcomes. Preferred Certifications
