The Role
Great Gray is hiring a Technology Operations Lead to own operational discipline and delivery tracking across all of Engineering (RPAG, BoardingPass, Data Engineering, AI and DevOps). This person sets the operating standards that Engineering runs on (Jira, stand-ups, escalation and SLAs), tracks delivery against commitments, and surfaces blockers early rather than at the deadline. Reporting to the Director, Data & AI, the Technology Operations Lead works across Engineering, Product, Customer Support and third-party vendors.

Responsibilities
- Define and maintain the SOPs for Agile methodology; Jira usage, refinement and stand-ups across all Engineering teams, and drive adoption.
- Track PRDs, TRDs, Jira epics and stories, story points and due dates across Engineering, and surface blockers and risks early rather than at the deadline.
- Participate in the Weekly Delivery check-ins, holding both Engineering and Product accountable to their commitments.
- Own the escalation path for customer-reported issues so that triage in Salesforce and Jira is consistent, ownership is clear, and no ticket sits without a written update.
- Maintain a live ‘known-issues’ view, and brief support and relationship teams after each release so they know what changed before customers call.
- Manage data SLAs with key clients, third-party vendors and internal stakeholders; monitoring delivery against agreed timelines and quality expectations.
- Report regularly on delivery performance, resolution times, SLA performance, and enhancement requests routed to Product.
- Complete other related duties as assigned.

- Experience defining, negotiating and tracking SLAs with customers, vendors and internal stakeholders.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools and defining meaningful alerts and SLAs.
- Working familiarity with a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Clear written and verbal communication with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
- Sound judgment under pressure and the ability to prioritize competing demands
- Your standards reflect our core values: Growth Mindset, Disciplined Curiosity, Grit, Results Ownership, Collaboration.

Company Background
Great Gray is the leading independent provider of trustee and administrative services to Collective Investment Trusts (“CITs”), with over $385 billion in CIT assets under management, across more than 1,045 funds. We proudly work with more than 80 subadvisors, including leading firms such as AllianceBernstein, American Funds, BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, MetLife, Neuberger Berman, PGIM, PIMCO and Raymond James.
CITs are more than just an investment vehicle. They represent a forward-thinking approach to retirement planning. These tax-exempt, pooled investment vehicles are offered to employer-sponsored retirement plans, like 401(k)s. CITs are comparable to mutual funds, but, because they are tailored for the institutional retirement market, they can offer distinct advantages, including efficient administration and cost-effectiveness. CITs have a history dating back over 90 years; but they have gained favor over the past decade, driven by innovations, and Great Gray has been at the forefront.
Great Gray has consistently delivered year-over-year growth at an above market rate and is investing in the continued development of its core CIT business as well as complementary administrative services and technology solutions for the retirement market.
