The Operations Program

Manager will be the central coordinator for scheduled operational activities affecting customers, production services and managed CPE fleets. You will maintain the authoritative global operations calendar and make sure every planned deployment, maintenance window, firmware rollout, migration, customer activity and operational event has the right scope, resources, dependencies, approvals, communications and execution plan. Reporting to the Operations Manager and the Director of Network Operations, you will connect customer project managers and internal program managers with Support, NOC, DevOps, Engineering, QA, Product and other delivery teams.

Your success is measured by predictable execution, early conflict detection, clear accountability and fewer customer-impacting surprises; not by simply scheduling meetings or maintaining a project plan.
