️Strong instinct for when to coach, when to delegate, and when to step in and drive an incident yourself.
️Ability to communicate crisply with customers, executives, and engineers — adjusting depth and tone to the audience.
️Agile mindset: comfortable iterating process, measuring outcomes, and changing course quickly.
️Solid working knowledge of relational databases, specifically Azure SQL — you can read execution plans, reason for indexing, and guide engineers through query-level troubleshooting.
️Understanding Azure infrastructure: App Services, Storage, Networking, Entra ID, monitoring (Application Insights, Log Analytics). You do not need to architect these systems, but you need to navigate them confidently during an incident.
️Familiarity with SaaS operational concerns: multi-tenancy, deployment pipelines, feature flags, SLA management, and incident response.
️Experience with support tooling (ticketing systems, monitoring dashboards, knowledge bases) and a point of view on how to make them work well together.
Nice to have
️Experience with PIM, MDM, or product data domains.
️Background in .NET / C# environments.
️Familiarity with DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps or similar.
️ITIL foundation or equivalent service-management exposure (we value the thinking, not the certificate).
