  • Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to ensure seamless integration of network services
  • Communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Lead and mentor Network Services team members, providing technical guidance and professional development
  • Establish and enforce technical standards, best practices, and processes within the Network Services team
  • Conduct knowledge transfer and training on complex network systems and emerging technologies
  • Participate in hiring and onboarding of Network Services staff

  • Demonstrated expertise in LAN, WAN, wireless, and VPN technologies
  • Solid understanding of network security principles and implementations
  • Experience with network monitoring, performance testing, and capacity planning tools
  • Proven ability to work independently with wide latitude for judgment on complex network decisions
  • Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with ability to engage vendors and cross-functional teams
  • Demonstrated leadership experience and ability to mentor and develop technical staff
