• Orchestrate cross-functional collaboration across acquisition, network operations, supply chain, data center engineering, finance, legal, and partner teams, holding stakeholders accountable for delivery.

• Background in production engineering with a focus on network engineering, acquisition, or delivery.
• Proficiency with project management tooling such as Jira, Confluence, and Smartsheet, plus data visualization for milestones and capacity tracking.
• Experience with global capacity planning, supply chain logistics, and hardware deployment lifecycles.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to translate complex technical requirements into roadmaps for non-technical audiences.

Nice to have

• Hands‑on familiarity with Dell and Hyve hardware platforms.
• Experience with Arista and Ciena networking hardware.
• Incident management or post‑mortem analysis experience tied to long‑term reliability improvements.

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage starting day one, plus life, disability, and accident insurance.
