They work closely with infrastructure teams, cloud engineers, security, architecture, and external service providers to maintain service stability, manage capacity, and drive continuous improvement.

The successful candidate combines deep technical understanding of hosting technologies with strong service management discipline. They provide leadership during major incidents, oversee change governance, manage vendor performance, and ensure that hosting services evolve in line with modern cloud and hybrid cloud strategies.
