Melbourne, Australia Afterpay Full time

Company Description

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together.

To solve this problem, we expanded into software and built integrated solutions to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

**Job Description**:
As an Incident Manager you will be responsible for end-to-end coordination of both proactive and reactive change responses - deployments, rollbacks, migrations, scheduled maintenance, degradations, service interruptions and outages. You will lead the coordination of both the resolution stream and the communication stream of incidents and service disruptions. This line of responsibility runs from first-line investigation and diagnosis through to incident management and on to post-incident review and closure.

You will be joining a global team of operators based in time-zones around the world as Afterpay builds out our 24 - 7 follow-the-sun service model.

- Managing the lifecycle of an incident, steering from detection through to response, restoration, remediation, resolution and closure.
- Coordinating between internal engineering teams and / or external vendor teams - collating alerts, monitoring and detection internally; raising, tracking and aging vendor tickets, cases and escalation externally.
- Coordinating communication streams on multiple tools Slack, PagerDuty and Google Meet; cross functionally.
- Quantifying problem or incident footprint - geographic and service areas; dimensioning customers, transactions, merchants, duration etc. as required.
- Ensuring that post-restoration actions are correctly captured, tracked and completed.
- Producing and contributing to the various incident, weekly and monthly reports and post incident reviews (PIRs).
- Supporting the service-related communication with vendors (internal /external) and partners - tracking vendors scheduled maintenance activity, deployments, changes and other interruptions.
- Developing and maintaining operational relationships across the organisation - functional and global. Compliance, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Security etc.
- Identifying areas of opportunity for incremental improvements in our operational framework and working with the team to implement them.

**Qualifications**:
Like us, you’ll get a kick out of seeing and feeling the impact of your work. You will be a naturally curious and self-driven individual who enjoys:

- Operational and qualitatively minded with an analytical, methodical and diligent approach to problem solving.
- Exceptionally detail-oriented with excellent documentation and written skills.
- Systematic problem-solving approach, coupled with effective communication skills and a sense of ownership and drive.
- Experience in a client-facing / B2B environment where the operational / engineering world intersects with the commercial / tactical world.
- Operational experience within a high availability systems environment (finance, payments, telco, Saas etc.)
- Working knowledge in using operational toolsets in monitoring, logging, alerting and analytics space such as Splunk, SumoLogic, NewRelic, Amplitude, LaunchDarkly, PagerDuty, RunDeck, OpsGenie, Datadog, Blameless
- Exposure to ticket or case management tools such as Zendesk, ServiceNow, Salesforce and JIRA.
