A day in the life

As an Incident Response Manager, your day begins by reviewing active Incident Rooms, monitoring the GSOC threat landscape, and independently assessing emerging threats against the Category, Type, and Item (CTI) matrix to determine escalation requirements. You drive strategic and tactical work simultaneously, supporting Immediate Mitigation (IM) calls with site-level Incident Commanders and IMTs, and leading real-time response actions.

Throughout the week, you engage senior stakeholders across WWOS, Ops, PXT, ER, WHS, and Ops Disruption leadership, supporting GSOC Conference Calls and guiding decision‑making during critical incidents. You own On‑Call rotation responsibilities, responding to emerging threats with direct mitigation support including coordinating ESU/Off‑Duty deployments, conducting OSINT/SOCMINT analysis, and delivering initial incident summaries to WWOS senior leadership within established SLAs. When high severity events arise, you exercise independent judgment to create site‑specific Slack channels, manage video lockdown tickets, prepare site risk overviews and hardening posture assessments, and lead After Action Reviews (AARs) within 3 days of incident conclusion.

About the team

The Operational Incident Response (OIR) team sits within the Security Operations Group (SOG) under Worldwide Operations Security (WWOS). The team provides 24/7/365 critical incident coordination across WWAS operations, serving as the central point for real‑time response to life safety events, operational disruptions, natural disasters, workplace violence, and facility security threats. Working through the GSOC, the team brings together key stakeholders, manages Incident Rooms, and drives resolution from first notification through post‑incident review.

OIR members are senior individual contributors who independently own the full incident lifecycle. They coordinate Immediate Mitigation calls with site‑level Incident Commanders and IMTs, facilitate GSOC Conference Calls for SEV1 events, and deliver incident summaries to WWOS senior leadership. Key partnerships include GSOC, Regional S&LP, Operations leadership, Legal, and cross‑functional business continuity stakeholders across highly diversified global environments.

The team operates as a service to the business, ensuring continuation of operations through risk oversight, contingency planning, and structured response. This role requires independent judgment under pressure, real‑time coordination across multiple time zones, and the ability to influence senior leadership during unfolding events where life safety is at stake.
