[Hiring] Healthcare IT Technical Operations Associate II @HealthEdge

Role Description

The Technical Operations Associate II (L1) serves as the single point of contact for incidents and service requests, and performs first-line monitoring of production jobs, files, and batch workflows across healthcare systems. The role is responsible for ticket management, initial triage, status and file monitoring, and SLA adherence, ensuring every issue is captured, categorized, routed, and tracked to closure without gaps or delays.

• Validate ticket completeness and obtain additional information when needed

• Monitor 27x real-time API transaction health and availability
• Confirm prerequisite conditions such as file availability and upstream job completion before marking a job successful
• Maintain real-time job monitoring trackers for all critical workflows
• Raise tickets for job failures, missing or delayed files, long-running or stuck processes, and API availability issues where ticket creation is not automated, providing complete details including job name, cycle, failure time, error messages, and business impact
• Route job-failure and reprocessing tickets to L2 and track them through to closure
• Follow up regularly with product teams, internal support teams, and vendors for updates
• Track and drive tickets to closure without unnecessary delays
• Maintain clear coordination across all stakeholders throughout the ticket lifecycle
• Provide timely status updates to requesters on open tickets
• Confirm resolution before ticket closure
• Respond to queries related to open incidents and service requests
• Highlight tickets nearing SLA breach and update priority when impact or urgency changes
• Ensure closure notes are accurate, complete, and linked to relevant knowledge articles where applicable
• Share periodic updates on ticket status, aging, SLA risks, and critical incidents
• Provide detailed shift handover notes covering in-progress jobs, pending validations, open incidents, and follow-ups
