Making a difference to the customer as an Incident Commander

As Incident Commander within the Customer Technology Platform, you are responsible for the rapid resolution (mitigation of impact customers and/or business) of major incidents. In addition, you are developing Dashboards and or automation to make the processes easier and faster. Thanks to your input, everyone in the department is aware of the up-to-date processes and you ensure timely communication in case something is broken. You also ensure that these processes are supported with tools and technology that you can develop yourself.

As an Incident Commander you make your presence felt by:

• Continuously improving the processes with regard to Incident Command and spread this knowledge by providing training. With the aim of making each Incident a learning moment, so that it can either no longer occur or can be solved even faster;
• Being able to independently manage major incidents and, together with involved resolution teams, ensure minimal impact for customers and business;
• Helping the team with the creation of Dashboards, Alerting and further automation of Incident Processes such as communication to stakeholders and teams;
• Creating real information from the many data available that has added value for business and IT, for example with ChatOps;
• Initiating continuous improvements to solve incidents structurally or make us able to identify incidents before any impact occurs;

At Albert Heijn we work with the latest technologies and innovative solutions such as Kubernetes, CI/CD, Github actions etc. The entire platform is in Azure and is a state of the art scalable platform. There is an open development culture, with room for your ideas, you get ownership, and we expect our own initiative. You are really a spider in the web and have to deal with different departments and levels within the organization.

You will be part of the AH Customer Tech Platform and more specifically the Enabling cluster. We work daily on ah.nl, the iOS/Android App and more. Within the Enabling cluster, we work on various matters to ensure that product teams can focus primarily on delivering customer value. Our focus is mainly on automation. The team makes sure that if something breaks, we quickly fix it together again. We hate it when customers or our own business has an impact of a disruption. There is no blame culture, we roll up our sleeves and fix the problem. Afterwards we look together where we can improve.
