This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Telco Network Operations Manager based in Brazil.

As Telco Network Operations Manager for the Americas, you will take ownership of service continuity and the end-to-end restoration of critical telecommunications and technology incidents across the region. You will lead major incident response, coordinating internal engineering teams, mobile network operators, connectivity partners, and core-network vendors through resolution. The role combines deep technical expertise in mobile core, international roaming, packet networks, and 4G/5G connectivity with strong operational leadership. You will manage and develop a team of Network Operations engineers while establishing high standards for technical readiness and incident management. Your work will directly influence network resilience, connectivity quality, and the experience of travelers relying on seamless mobile data services. This is a fully remote, high-impact leadership opportunity within a rapidly scaling global technology environment.

Accountabilities

• Own the complete incident lifecycle for global connectivity services, from detection and impact assessment through technical investigation, service restoration, customer recovery validation, and closure.

• Serve as Incident Commander during major network incidents, coordinating L1/L2 teams, mobile network operators, IMSI providers, IPX/GRX partners, and core-network vendors while maintaining clear technical ownership.

• Lead and develop a team of approximately 5–10 Network Operations engineers through technical mentoring, escalation support, performance management, and continuous development.

• Maintain deep technical ownership of live roaming and core-network services, including Diameter/DRA/HSS, GTP-C/GTP-U, PGW/PCRF, APN/DNS, IPX/GRX, routing, Local Breakout, and 4G/5G connectivity.

• Independently analyze network traces, PCAPs, logs, signaling behavior, and operational data to identify and resolve complex connectivity issues.

• Lead Root Cause Analysis, Problem Management, and permanent corrective actions for major and recurring incidents, challenging vendor responses and ensuring preventive improvements are implemented.

• Own network performance, monitoring, and operational improvement initiatives using KPIs such as first-attach success, session-establishment success, latency, packet loss, throughput, availability, and MTTR.

• Ensure effective follow-the-sun handovers and operational continuity across regional teams.

Requirements:

• 15+ years of experience in Mobile Telecommunications, with strong exposure to Core Network, International Roaming, Packet Core, IMSI/SIM technologies, IPX/GRX, and mobile data services.

• Strong technical knowledge of LTE/4G and 5G NSA/SA roaming architectures, including Diameter/DRA/HSS, GTP-C/GTP-U, PGW/PCRF, APN/DNS, routing, and Local Breakout environments.

• Proven experience leading major network incidents and complex technical troubleshooting, including analysis of signaling traces, PCAPs, logs, and network KPIs.

• Strong understanding of IP networking and roaming connectivity, including BGP, TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls, NAT, IPX/GRX, Diameter, and associated troubleshooting methodologies.

• Previous people-management experience, ideally leading Network Operations, NOC, Core Network, or Incident Management teams of approximately 5–10 engineers.
