Incident, Problem & Change Manager

At Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), we develop cutting-edge technologies that protect digital and physical identities, payments, and data infrastructures.

We’re looking for an Incident, Problem & Change Manager (IPC Manager) to join our IT Service Desk / NOC organization in El Prat de Llobregat, Barcelona.

In this role, you will be accountable for the end-to-end Incident, problem, and change practices, ensuring service stability, fast recovery, controlled change enablement, and clear, authoritative communication during critical situations.

This is a key role for someone with a strong service mindset, leadership under pressure, and deep understanding of IT service management, who wants to make a real impact in a global and highly regulated environment.

What will you do?

Incident Management

• Take full command of Major Incidents, ensuring fast restoration, clear timelines, and effective stakeholder communication.

• Act as the single point of authority during Major Incidents, coordinating technical teams and driving resolution.

• Monitor incident performance, ensure SLA compliance, and continuously improve MTTR.

Problem Management

• Own the Problem Management lifecycle, including backlog prioritization and quality of Root Cause Analysis (RCA).

• Drive corrective and preventive actions to avoid incident recurrence.

• Maintain and continuously improve the Known Error Database (KEDB) in collaboration with technical teams.

• Accept and close Problems after effectiveness review with the Service Quality Manager (SQM).

Change Enablement

• Partner closely with the Service Delivery Manager (SDM) to ensure risk-aware and well-governed change enablement.

• Own change policies, calendars, CAB/ECAB governance, and metrics.

• Approve change risk categorizations, readiness, and rollback plans.

• Stop, defer, or escalate changes that breach policy or risk thresholds.

• Drive improvements in change success rate, lead time, and reduction of failed or rolled-back changes.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with the Incident & Quality Lead, L1 NOC Engineers, SDM, and SQM to ensure knowledge sharing, service quality, and compliance.

• Own IPC processes, KPIs, and reporting.

• Drive continual service improvement initiatives across Incident, Problem, and Change practices.

• Ensure clear, timely, and transparent communication across the full incident and change lifecycle.

What are we looking for?

Your human side:

• Calm, confident, and decisive under pressure — you lead when it matters most.

• Strong communicator, able to manage stakeholders at all levels during critical situations.

• Structured, analytical, and detail-oriented, with a continuous improvement mindset.

• Proactive, accountable, and comfortable challenging decisions when risk thresholds are exceeded.

• Team player who fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and service excellence.

• Confident working in English, in a global, multicultural environment.

Your professional background:

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or similar.

• 3+ years of experience in Incident, Problem, and/or Change Management within IT operations, Service Desk, or NOC environments.

• Strong knowledge of ITIL practices, especially Incident, Problem, and Change Enablement.

• Proven experience leading Major Incidents and driving RCA quality.

• Experience working with CAB/ECAB, change calendars, and risk assessment.

• Solid understanding of IT service metrics (SLA, MTTR, change success rate).

• ITIL certification is a strong plus.

• Experience in regulated or high-availability environments is highly valued.
