Define and implement service catalogue whilst ensuring workload is kept within defined parameters
Produce clear supporting documentation to enable off-shore to provide first and second-line of support
Provide deep technical assessments of ticket queues to identify and address issues in a holistic manner
Perform root cause analysis to resolve any technical issues that off-shore escalate

Partner with SRE team to identify areas for continuous improvement, automation and self-service

Your experience:
Current and previous versions of Microsoft SQL Server experience.
Scripting and programming languages such as PowerShell or Python

Advanced knowledge of Clustering, High-Availability, Replication and Disaster Recovery techniques
