• Escalate incidents to appropriate application, infrastructure, and vendor support teams with clear, concise context and required urgency. 

• Lead or actively participate in incident bridges, contributing to triage, impact assessment, and root cause analysis (RCA) for batch-related events. 

• Provide accurate, timely status updates during high-pressure periods (e.g., SOD, intraday cycles, EOD, month-end, quarter-end). 

Job Scheduling & Change Management 

• Add, modify, or remove jobs within the batch stream based on approved requests from operations, client service, and project teams. 

• Work closely with internal teams to correctly sequence new jobs and dependencies as part of new batch onboarding and JIL/build work. 

• Support key initiatives such as disaster recovery tests, client/vendor testing, and other controlled non-production and production events. 

• Adhere to all change, compliance, and approval standards, ensuring that environmental changes follow documented procedures and corporate policies. 

Operational Support & Client/Vendor Interaction 

• Intake, prioritize, and organize intraday requests for daily and weekend processing via the ticketing system. 

• Communicate with clients, financial institutions, and vendors via email and phone regarding file receipt, report delivery, and other batch-dependent outputs. 

• Use enterprise monitoring tools to track the health of applications, systems, and storage involved in the batch ecosystem, and act on early warning indicators. 

Documentation & Continuous Improvement 

• Perform detailed research and analysis of job failures and anomalies, documenting findings, impacts, and corrective actions. 

• Create and maintain procedural documentation for batch processes, transmissions, contact lists, and operational runbooks. 

• Document incident records, including analysis, remediation steps, and preventive recommendations; produce clear shift turnover reports, problem logs, and other operational records. 

• Contribute feedback and ideas to continuously improve batch stability, observability, and supportability. 

Required Skills & Experience 

Technical Skills 

• Experience with enterprise job scheduling / automation tools (e.g., CA Autosys or similar), including job dependencies, calendars, and event handling. 

• Familiarity with file transfer and back-office processing (e.g., SFTP, NDM) and associated controls (naming, timeliness, completeness). 

• Fundamental understanding of: 

• Operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix 

• Storage concepts: NAS and general storage terminology 

• Networking and protocols: TCP, SSH, SFTP, HTTPS, and related connectivity concepts 

• Experience with enterprise monitoring and alerting tools for applications and infrastructure. 

Industry & Domain 

• Familiarity with wealth management or broader financial services terminology, workflows, and operational cycles is strongly preferred. 

• Understanding of the criticality of market-driven timelines, cutoffs, and regulatory expectations around data accuracy and availability. 

Behavioral & Soft Skills 

• Proven ability to multi-task and manage multiple concurrent incidents and requests in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. 

• Strong sense of urgency, ownership, and follow-through to drive issues to resolution within SLA. 

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences, including clients and external partners. 

• Team-oriented, “must-get-it-done” attitude, especially during peak processing periods such as month-end and quarter-end. 

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to distinguish symptoms from root causes and document findings clearly. 

Basic Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent work experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree.
