About Allica bank
Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (fintech) firm ever.

Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers

• Coordination of technical bridges for incidents impacting the organization, creating and monitoring incident communication channels to ensure timely progression is being made.

• Consistent communication with key stakeholders during and after an incident, updating respective communication channels throughout.
• Updating Status Pages and Confluence documentation to reflect any outstanding incidents with the relevant details.
• Ensure timely logging, tracking and resolution of incident & problem records, including root cause analysis and resolution, by conducting and leading post-incident reviews and working with teams.
• Ensure KPIs and Metrics for Incident & Problem management are maintained for incidents that the Incident & Problem Coordinator is accountable for.
• Ensure reliability and performance by continuously tracking release impacts.
• Working with incident response tools to automate the incident response process, including XMatters and JIRA.
• Maintaining Risk Management software (RiskSmart) with any incidents that meet thresholds.
• Tracking actions assigned as part of post-incident review to ensure action owners are updating and completing these in a timely manner.
• Assisting with the creation and maintenance of reporting from the Incident Management space.
Personal Attributes & Experience
• You should have the unrestricted right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide sponsorship.
• Strong communication skills and enjoys a creative approach to problem-solving.
• Take ownership of all individual & assigned tasks prioritising those more crucial.
• The computing world evolves very quickly so it is important that candidates are curious about new technologies.
