Monitor KEDB usage and effectiveness (search success rate, application rate) and recommend improvements.
Analytics & Reporting
Build dashboards and reports on problem trends, RCA progress, and remediation status.
Provide insights on recurring incidents, MTTR, and change-induced failures to support continuous improvement.
Stakeholder Collaboration

Communicate clearly during problem reviews and provide data-driven recommendations.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
