- Hands-on experience with incident tracking tools such as ServiceNow or Ivanti.
- Familiarity with monitoring and alerting platforms (e.g. APM tools).
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to stay calm and structured in crisis situations.
- Excellent communication and coordination skills in English, plus working knowledge of Dutch or French.
