Position Details

• Job Title: Incident Manager

  
  

• Location: Hyderabad

  
  

• Employment Type: Full Time

  
  

Role Overview 

1. Position Summary:

This is a hands-on incident command role. As an Incident Manager in Chubb's Technology Operating Center (TOC), you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of IT incidents — from detection to resolution to post-incident review. You will be the person who takes control of the bridge call, drives technical and vendor teams to resolution, and ensures the right people are engaged at the right time.

This is not a passive coordination role. We are looking for someone who can command a room (or a call), make rapid prioritization decisions under pressure, and communicate with clarity to both technical teams and senior stakeholders

What you will do

Incident Command & Bridge Leadership

• Own and chair all major incident bridge calls — taking command from the moment an incident is declared, driving technical teams toward resolution, and preventing call drift or confusion

  
  

• Apply a structured incident command approach: establish clear roles, maintain situational awareness, enforce time-boxed actions, and escalate decisively when progress stalls

  
  

• Keep calls focused and productive — cut through noise, redirect off-topic discussion, and ensure every participant knows their next action

  
  

• Determine when to escalate to management and lead that escalation with a clear, concise incident summary

  
  

Incident Lifecycle Management

• Identify, prioritize, triage, and classify incidents rapidly using defined severity criteria — independently making P1/P2 judgments without waiting for consensus

  
  

• Manage the full incident record in ServiceNow: accurate timelines, action logs, resolution steps, and closure documentation

  
  

• Coordinate across infrastructure, application, network, and cloud teams to ensure the right resolver groups are engaged and accountable

  
  

• Oversee vendor partners during incidents, holding them to SLA commitments and escalating internally when they fall short

  
  

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Draft and distribute timely, accurate incident notifications and status updates to stakeholders — translating technical impact into business language

  
  

• Provide clear executive-level summaries during P1 incidents, calibrating technical depth to the audience

  
  

• Maintain a communication cadence throughout the incident lifecycle, including proactive updates when resolution timelines shift

  
  

Problem Management & Continuous Improvement

• Lead post-incident reviews (PIRs) for major incidents — facilitating blameless root cause analysis and driving clear action items to closure

  
  

• Identify recurring incident patterns and work with infrastructure teams on permanent fixes

  
  

• Track and report on incident KPIs and SLAs; proactively surface trends and areas of risk to TOC leadership

  
  

• Contribute to the development and refinement of incident runbooks, escalation paths, and response playbooks

  
  

Team & Process Ownership

• Act as the escalation point for TOC staff when incidents require management engagement

  
  

• Coach and develop junior team members on incident management practices, bridge call etiquette, and communication standards

  
  

• Maintain awareness of upcoming infrastructure changes and releases, proactively assessing potential incident risk

  
  

What we are looking for

Essential

• Proven track record commanding P1/major incident bridge calls — you have been the person running the call, not just attending it

  
  

• Ability to take charge in high-pressure, ambiguous situations: you drive teams, not wait for consensus

  
  

• Strong verbal communication — clear, direct, and calm under pressure; able to control a call with competing voices

  
  

• 5+ years in IT operations or infrastructure support, with direct involvement in incident or problem management

  
  

• Hands-on experience with ServiceNow (incident management, dashboards, reporting)

  
  

• Working knowledge of ITIL incident and problem management frameworks

  
  

Strongly Preferred

• ITIL Foundation certification (v3 or v4); Intermediate or Practitioner a plus

  
  

• Experience in large, complex enterprise environments with global infrastructure scope

  
  

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid on-prem/cloud environments

  
  

• Experience with major incident notification tooling (PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or equivalent)

  
  

• Background in financial services, insurance, or other regulated industry environments

  
  

Behavioral Profile — What Great Looks Like in This Role

• Takes ownership without being asked — sees a gap, fills it

  
  

• Communicates with precision: no ambiguity about what is happening, what is being done, and by whom

  
  

• Stays composed when the bridge gets loud — de-escalates tension while keeping urgency high

  
  

• Pushes back constructively when teams are stalling, deflecting, or off-track

  
  

• Follows through: actions get closed, not just logged

  
  

This is not a monitoring-and-ticket-routing role. If you are looking for a position where you respond to alerts and hand off to resolver teams, this is not the right fit. We need someone who leads from the front during incidents — commanding calls, making judgment calls, and driving resolution themselves.
