Job description

The ITSM Analyst plays a hands‑on, proactive role in maintaining stable, resilient, and well‑governed technology services across Latitude. Operating across Incident, Problem, Change, and Enterprise Resilience, the role contributes directly to service continuity, operational learning and continuous improvement.

The ITSM Analyst is a self‑motivated and collaborative problem‑solver with a strong understanding of technology and a passion for improving how we operate.

The role requires someone who can confidently engage stakeholders, bring structure and clarity to complex or time‑critical situations, and innovate to simplify processes and add value, while working closely with others to keep critical services running effectively.

• Coordinate and execute Disaster Recovery tests across enterprise services, predominantly during after‑hours windows.
• Develop, maintain and improve DR test run books, simplifying complex technical processes into clear, repeatable steps.
• Establish DR test plans, execution schedules, RACIs, evidence requirements and post‑test reporting.
• Provide clear status updates to stakeholders during testing activities and document outcomes, issues, and remediation actions.
• Review Supplier Risk Assessments (SRAs) and engage with suppliers to assess Disaster Recovery capability.
• Communicate SRA outcomes and DR capability assessments to relevant platform owners.
• Coordinate and support Incident and Major Incident response activities across a broad technology landscape, including participation in after‑hours incidents when required.
• Bring structure, order, and pace to incident bridges, coordinating technical support specialists to restore services as quickly and effectively as possible.
• Support clear, concise, and timely stakeholder communication, including escalation to senior technology leadership where appropriate.
• Contribute to post‑incident reviews, trend analysis, and continuous service improvement initiatives aimed at reducing recurrence.
• Maintain accurate and complete incident records, timelines, and outcome artefacts to support governance, reporting, and learning.
• Proactively identify recurring incidents, systemic issues and operational risks.
• Drive and coordinate root‑cause analysis activities, taking the coordination burden off platform owners.
• Influence and challenge teams to ensure accountability and delivery of corrective and preventative actions.
• Maintain high‑quality problem records, documentation, and reporting focused on tangible outcomes — not just ticket progression.
• Track and elevate aged or stalled problems to ensure momentum and closure.
