EU Major Incident Manager – French Speaking
The EU Major Incident Manager plays a pivotal role in protecting service availability across the business by leading the end‑to‑end management of all Major Incidents. You’ll drive rapid service restoration, deliver clear and timely communications, and minimise operational impact across multiple European markets. The role demands calm leadership under pressure, strong coordination skills, and the ability to bring together internal teams and external Service Providers to achieve swift, effective resolution.
This is a hybrid position, with occasional travel for site visits, team meetings, or industry events. You will also participate in an out‑of‑hours on‑call rota¥ including overnight, weekend, and bank holiday cover, supported by an on‑call allowance.
You bring solid experience in IT service operations and a strong grounding in ITIL practices, particularly Incident, Request, and Problem Management. You’re confident leading high‑pressure situations, coordinating multiple teams, and communicating clearly with both technical and non‑technical audiences. Your background includes working with complex, highly available technology environments, and you’re comfortable analysing trends, producing clear reports, and influencing others without direct authority.
You’re organised, delivery‑focused, and able to work independently while remaining a strong team player. Adaptability, resilience, and the ability to negotiate effectively in challenging situations are key strengths. A customer‑focused mindset, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to maintain clarity during fast‑moving incidents are essential.
Fluency in French is required for this role.
