• Lead root cause analyses and drive corrective actions for incidents and recurring issues.
• Stakeholder Communication & Governance:
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders regarding OCI platform health, strategy, and risks.
• Collaborate with client leadership, program offices, and partners to define and evolve cloud service offerings and SLAs.
• Facilitate regular stakeholder briefings, performance reviews, and planning sessions to align operations with evolving business needs.

• Project Management:
• Plan, execute, and manage cloud infrastructure projects, from initial planning to final implementation.
• Develop project plans, timelines, and budgets, ensuring projects stay on track and within scope.
• Communicate project status, risks, and issues to stakeholders and senior management.
• Security and Compliance:
• Ensure OCI environments comply with all security guidelines, policies, and federal compliance frameworks.
• Oversee access controls, IAM policies, logging, and vulnerability remediation.
• Coordinate periodic audits, risk assessments, and security posture reviews.
• Continuous Improvement and Innovation:
• Stay abreast of emerging cloud technologies, tools, and frameworks to inform improvements.
