  • Familiarity with controller-based systems like Cisco DNAC, Aruba Central, or Meraki Dashboard APIs
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with a methodical approach to resolving complex issues.
• Experience in client-facing, service delivery, or consulting roles in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.
• Ability to travel up to 75%, including international assignments, sometimes on short notice.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Cisco certifications (CCNP – Enterprise or Wireless preferred) or Aruba/Juniper certifications
• Experience working with global clients or large-scale enterprise environments
