• Executive Influence: Act as a key bridge between senior Verizon leadership and C-suite clients, delivering compelling narratives that align high-level corporate strategy with real-world customer mission-critical objectives.

• KPI-Led Leadership: Establish and champion the North Star metrics that keep cross-functional engineering, operations, and business development teams tightly focused on delivering high-impact, resilient networking products.

• Bachelor’s degree or four or more years of work experience.

• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.

• Six or more years of high-stakes experience leading complex business initiatives and product lifecycles from concept to execution, including five or more years of dedicated Product Management across AI infrastructure, cloud platforms, data center technologies, and high-tech markets.

• Strong understanding of GPU networking requirements, high-capacity traffic models (10G to 400G+), distributed computing environments, and AI workload transport optimization.

• Proven track record of navigating high-level collaborations with sales organizations, large-scale cloud service providers, AI platform providers, and Fortune 500 clients to deliver mutual success.

• Deep expertise in P&L ownership, return-on-investment (ROI) frameworks, and market strategy, with the ability to synthesize user research and market analysis into a winning product vision.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Expert in product portfolio management, pricing models, and packaging strategies, using product intuition and user empathy to solve business-critical problems.

• Entrepreneurial self-starter with a "professional presence" and the ability to motivate cross-functional teams and influence at all executive levels.

• Skilled in Agile/Scrum methodologies and project management, with the communication chops to get stakeholders and customers excited about the future roadmap.

• Highly proficient in Google Suite to drive data-backed prioritization and performance tracking.

• Proficiency in leveraging data, market analytics, and customer feedback loops to uncover market opportunities and drive informed, data-backed prioritization decisions.

• Expert-level ability to craft and deliver compelling storytelling, high-impact presentations, and clear product visions for C-suite audiences, analysts, and strategic partners.
