Warner Bros. Discovery is a global fast-paced entertainment and media company, that continues to grow around the world, as well as across emerging platforms.
The Global Technology Operations Center (GTOC) department consists of several teams that work together with a one-team approach, as well as three locations (USA, UK, PL). We are the first point of contact, as well as owners of Major IT Incident Incidents. This means analysts within GTOC teams are also responsible for initiating the Major IT Incident process and procedures, to support our Infrastructure. GTOC Teams: 1st Line Network/Infra/Incident Change Managers, 2nd Line (Network/Infra/Cloud/Domain Mgmt.), and Digital Platform Support Operations.
About the Role
Reporting to an IT Operations Manager, carrying out the responsibilities of an Incident Manager but also managing the Change Management process in the team. This is a fast-paced, ever-evolving role that is required to provide key support for the Operations Manager, running and participating in major Incidents, chairing and managing some of WBD's key event bridges but also being the main 'Go To' for engineers, and Ops managers. They must be able to cope well under pressure and provide mentoring to the rest of the team.
This role operates on a hybrid model, meaning postholders are expected to work shifts, including weekends and night shifts, and come into the office three times a week to support the business 24x7x365.
Worth noting that the postholders won't have any direct reports.
