A Better Opportunity

Better Escalation & Command Center (ECC) runs the Incident Management and Product Escalation Programs at Better. Our job is to address product escalations in real-time and prevent incidents in the first place. But when incidents do occur, the job is to reduce impact and restore service as soon as possible, and ensure that the organization learns from the experience.

We're seeking a self-starter who can recognize where processes can be improved and who will take the initiative to improve them. Using strong communication skills, the Senior Manager will effectively collaborate with a variety of people and job functions across all geographies, accomplishing tasks of moderate to high complexity and scope, and can perform in a challenging and extremely fast-paced environment.

  • Lead the lifecycle of escalations from customers and internal stakeholders (action items that come out of incidents)
  • Create problems/action items & drive them to completion with the respective teams.
  • Analyze, provide, and represent insights on top incident themes and trends.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify areas to minimize the impact of unavoidable incidents.
  • Identify continuous improvement opportunities in the Incident & Problem Management processes.
  • Lead Incident postmortem process and drive service providers to identify root causes including well-defined corrective/preventative action plans.
  • Actively participate in meetings with key partners and service owners to review events, identify operational issues and trends, incidents, RCA status, postmortem report status, and key performance indicators.
  • Drive quality data in postmortem reports, problems, incident tickets, and any other metadata around incidents and action items
  • Analyze problems and incidents for correct prioritization, metadata, and correct classification.
  • Proactively identify problems, analyze and recommend service improvement plans with the possible solutions obtained from technical teams for departments or business units.
  • This role is designated as ‘Flex Mode,’ and is not a fully remote position. The number of days in office will vary based on role requirements. As such, employees must be located within commuting distance of the office and provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
