Job Description:
Job Purpose
Working for Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) as part of the ICE Data Services Systems Operations team will provide you with the opportunity to experience supporting one of the most famous and widely known, publicly visible companies in the world. The technology we work with day to day is necessarily on the bleeding edge. Our triumphs and shortcomings make the news and give this position a level of excitement and importance not available in a typical operational/support role.
The Operations Support Analyst will provide immediate assistance to back office, support personnel, and IT staff to achieve the highest customer satisfaction and minimize the impact of IT related problems. The Operations Support Analyst must be a motivated team player that can see projects to completion, work independently, and be willing to assist other staff in areas not specific to their duties.

The role requires a blend of general technical and business knowledge, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the overall architecture of the ICE exchanges, divisions, clearing, and infrastructure. This position is not a Systems Administrator or Network Engineering position; however, prior experience in these areas is desirable. Job level will be determined based on years of relevant experience.
