Operate effectively in high-stakes, customer-impacting incidents, combining platform expertise and customer business context to accelerate mitigation, recovery, and restoration of service.
Facilitate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) activities for critical incidents, helping customers identify corrective and preventative actions that reduce future risk.
Analyze support cases, operational telemetry, incident trends, and platform events to identify recurring risks and recommend proactive remediation measures.
Drive reduction of reactive operational demand through reliability-focused recommendations, operational maturity improvements, resiliency best practices, and service optimization initiatives.
Promote operational excellence across reliability, availability, security, performance, recoverability, and capacity management.
Perform proactive health assessments, risk reviews, and operational analysis to identify opportunities for improvement and escalation prevention.
Maintain a culture of curiosity by looking beyond immediate symptoms and root causes to understand systemic factors, historical decisions, and operational patterns that drive long-term improvements.
Correlate customer requirements, operational events, and platform signals into actionable recommendations with clear accountability and ownership.
Drive operational maturity through recommendations for observability, monitoring, automation, governance, reliability engineering practices, disaster recovery preparedness, and service management processes.
Utilize telemetry, monitoring platforms, observability tools, and query languages to investigate issues, identify trends, and develop actionable insights.
Customer Engagement & Service Delivery
Develop and maintain deep technical understanding of assigned customer environments, architectures, dependencies, and mission-critical workloads.
Create and maintain customer knowledge documentation, operational records (KnowMe), and workload profiles.
Deliver onboarding assessments and help define service delivery and improvement plans aligned with customer objectives.
Scope technical engagements, facilitate discussions on workstreams, prioritize recommendations, and align stakeholders on action plans and expected outcomes.
Track remediation progress and drive alignment across customers and Microsoft stakeholders.
Global Collaboration & Stakeholder Management
Operate effectively within a global follow-the-sun support model, collaborating with teams across multiple regions and time zones to ensure continuity of service for mission-critical workloads.
Maintain awareness of ongoing customer engagements, incidents, escalations, and engineering activities occurring outside local business hours, incorporating relevant developments into ongoing service delivery.
Drive effective cross-time-zone coordination through structured handoffs, action tracking, stakeholder alignment, and knowledge sharing.
Build strong partnerships across Microsoft Engineering, Support, Customer Success, Product Groups, and other stakeholders to accelerate issue resolution and drive customer outcomes.
Communicate complex technical and operational topics clearly across diverse technical, business, and cultural audiences.
Establish trusted technical relationships with both customers and Microsoft stakeholders, enabling effective collaboration during critical incidents, proactive engagements, and strategic initiatives.
Build and strengthen partnerships across Microsoft teams, including Engineering, Azure Engineering Direct (AED), Azure Rapid Response (ARR), Customer Success Account Managers (CSAMs), Support, and other stakeholders.
Collaborate effectively across teams, cultures, and organizational boundaries to drive customer success and operational improvements.
Success Measures

Improvements in workload reliability, resiliency, security, and operational maturity.
Adoption of recommended architecture, operational practices, and remediation plans.
Reduction in customer-impacting incidents, repeat escalations, and operational risk.
Faster mitigation and recovery of critical incidents.
Effective coordination across global teams, ensuring seamless customer support and operational continuity across regions and time zones.
Increased customer satisfaction and trusted advisor influence.
