• Responding to incidents affecting our business applications, communicating the impact to internal teams and finding solutions or workarounds.
• Building relationships with our application suppliers, working with them to resolve bugs and request new features.
• Continually improving tooling, practices and knowledge in the Business Applications team, including writing documentation and researching new ideas.

• Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and vice versa.
• Strong awareness of data security best practices.
