  • Balance inter‑regional and inter‑program priorities to keep execution aligned and moving.

Vendor & Partner Oversight

  • Manage performance of third‑party vendors against SLAs and commitments.
  • Drive timely issue resolution to ensure continuous compliance and program momentum.

Collaboration & Communication

  • Work closely with cross‑functional teams to align resources, priorities, and plans.
  • Prepare and deliver communications that provide clarity on network deployment progress.
  • Present performance, risks, and key decisions to executives when required.

  • Provide recommendations for operational efficiencies and opex savings.
  • Oversee repair, maintenance, and network construction activities based on engineering standards.

You have:

  • 10+ years of experience in telecom, across both wireless and wireline environments.
  • 7+ years in senior management
  • A strong track record of delivering large, complex implementation programs with multiple stakeholders.
