• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, setting expectations and providing status updates on complex issues.
• Participate in a 24x7 support rotation, providing on-call coverage for critical infrastructure issues outside standard business hours.

Process & Governance

• Ensure changes to production systems follow established change management and approval procedures.
