Operational Readiness & Service Acceptance

• Support the validation of service readiness criteria, including monitoring, alerting, access, backup, patching, support procedures, escalation paths and reporting arrangements.
• Assist in gathering and organising evidence for service readiness reviews, transition checkpoints, assurance reviews and acceptance gates.
• Identify gaps in documentation, supportability, process maturity, tooling, access or knowledge transfer and escalate them to the Managed Service Lead.
• Support the development and tracking of remediation actions to close readiness gaps before live service commencement.

Change, Incident & Problem Support

• Support the Managed Service Lead with inputs to change impact assessments, implementation planning, rollback planning and operational handover.
• Assist with the coordination of service transition defects, early-life support issues, incident trends and problem records.
• Help ensure service risks, issues and dependencies are recorded, tracked and escalated appropriately.
• Contribute to post-transition lessons learned and continuous improvement activity.

Stakeholder, Supplier & Customer Coordination

• Coordinate meetings, workshops and working sessions with internal teams, suppliers and customer stakeholders as required.
• Prepare agendas, minutes, actions and status updates to support transition governance and reporting.
• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring actions, decisions and blockers are visible and understood.
• Build effective working relationships across Leidos engineering, service management, security, project delivery and supplier teams.
