You'll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.

We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

• Identify, assess, and proactively manage risks specific to edge capacity delivery, such as hardware delays, site access issues, power constraints, and potential disruptions during upgrades.
• Understand and align project activities with the overall strategy and goals of the organization.
• Identify areas of process improvement, drive cross-functional change management, scale processes and operations, and contribute towards automation.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience in program or project management, leading multi‑disciplinary projects.
