• Lead initiatives to identify cost-saving opportunities across the operational ecosystem.

Who You Are

• A proven problem-solver with a customer-first mentality and a knack for process improvement.
• A collaborative partner who can bridge gaps between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Detail-oriented with a focus on identifying and mitigating risks before they escalate.
• Familiar with telecom-related services, such as STIR/SHAKEN, CNAM lookups, or SIP trunk optimization, is a plus.
• Excellent at data analysis and interpretation, bonus points for experience in using tools like SQL, Redash, or Kibana.
