The Escalation Manager, Junior supports the structured handling of escalated IT incidents by serving as a coordination point for issues that cannot be resolved at the initial support level.

The junior escalation manager supports functional and hierarchical escalations, helps facilitate resolver engagement, and maintains complete, audit-ready documentation throughout the escalation lifecycle while contributing to lessons-learned and continuous improvement activities.

Document escalation cases, including timelines, stakeholders, actions taken, decisions made, and final outcomes, to support federal guidelines for traceability, quality, and audit requirements, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement. Support cross-functional participation in resolving customer-impacting issues by assisting with bridge call organization, capturing meeting notes, and summarizing next steps. Use ITSM tools to track escalations throughout their lifecycle and contribute to reporting on escalation volume, resolution time, SLA compliance, and recurring issue patterns. Collaborate with senior escalation or incident response personnel to ensure adherence to escalation models, communication standards, and incident management processes.
