• Coordinate with engineering, product, logistics, vendors, and operations teams
• Track KPIs, project health, risks, and escalations

For this mission, you need

• 6‑8 years of experience as a Project Manager in a Telecom / Network / High‑Tech environment
• Strong experience in telecom or network product delivery, including deployments
• Proven experience managing global customers and/or cross‑geography teams
• Direct customer‑facing delivery experience with strong stakeholder management
• Solid understanding of telecom networks, IP networks, internet protocols, and network topology
• Experience in managing project delivery milestones, invoicing, and revenue/payment forecasting
• PMP certification (mandatory)
• Semi‑technical profile with solution‑level understanding (not a software development PM)
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Willingness to travel at short notice for customer meetings (PAN India / overseas)
