We are looking for a Communications Engineer & Project Manager with a functional and service management-oriented profile and solid knowledge of enterprise communications, connectivity, and managed
network services.

and outsourcing providers, ensuring proper service delivery, contractual compliance, and continuous
improvement. Coordinate operational and strategic follow-up meetings, evaluate vendor performance, and

Project Leadership: Lead communications, connectivity, and network transformation projects from planning
to execution, ensuring delivery within scope, timeline, budget, and quality standards. Coordinate internal
stakeholders, telecom carriers, and external technology partners; manage dependencies, risks, and priorities;
and ensure the successful transition of projects into operational support.
Budget & Financial Management: Prepare, monitor, and control the communications budget, including
operational expenses, telecom services, maintenance and support contracts, circuits, subscriptions, and
project-related costs. Identify opportunities for consolidation, optimization, and cost efficiency while supporting
financial planning and investment decisions.
Governance & Technology Strategy: Define and evolve the company's enterprise communications and
connectivity strategy, supporting network modernization, standardization, cloud connectivity, cybersecurity,
resilience, and business continuity initiatives. Ensure that services and projects comply with corporate policies,
technical standards, architecture principles, and governance frameworks.
Communications & Network Security: Ensure the security and compliance of enterprise communications
environments by promoting and enforcing cybersecurity best practices, corporate policies, and security
standards. Coordinate with internal security teams and external providers to identify and mitigate network
risks, support remediation initiatives, ensure appropriate segmentation, secure remote access, traffic
protection, and controlled connectivity, and contribute to maintaining a secure and resilient communications
landscape.
