Senior Incident Manager **

Position Description
CGI is seeking a Senior Incident Manager to lead the response and resolution of high impact technology incidents within a 24x7x365 enterprise command center environment.

. Maintain focus, accountability, and effective decision making throughout high pressure incidents.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role
. 5+ years of Major Incident Management / Enterprise Incident Management experience.

. Strong Unix/Linux knowledge and broad enterprise infrastructure awareness.
. Ability to understand application integrations, dependencies, transaction flows, and system to system communication.
. Strong technical triage skills with the ability to gather evidence and identify the right SME or technical team.
. Experience assessing business impact, technical risk, mitigation options, and recovery status.

. Excellent executive level verbal and written communication skills.
