This role sits at the intersection of Serviceability, Technical Support, Voice of the Customer, NPI, Product Management, and Engineering. This person will be accountable for turning field pain points to support case trends, escalations, and customer feedback into actionable product requirements, serviceability enhancements, and measurable customer experience improvements.

This is a senior technical contributor role for a leader who can credibly assess architecture, troubleshoot ability, diagnosability, operational workflows, and product readiness across complex networking domains including routing, switching, cloud-managed networking, SD-WAN, security-adjacent workflows, and AI-driven support experiences.

The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on experience with HPE Juniper Networking platforms such as ACX Series Routers, EX Series, MX Series, PTX Series, QFX Series, SASE/SSE, SRX Firewalls, SSR Series, network management systems (Apstra/Mist), and Wireless with the technical breadth to expand into Aruba platforms as the role matures.

• Translate top support case drivers, escalation patterns, TAC pain points, and customer feedback into concrete enhancement requests for Product Management and Engineering.
• Partner with Product Management and Engineering to ensure supportability becomes a core design consideration in future releases, including diagnostics, logging, observability, troubleshooting workflows, recovery mechanisms, operational tooling, and support readiness.
• Lead structured forums with Support, Product Management, Engineering, and NPI Program Managers to review, refine, and prioritize serviceability enhancement requests.
• Drive closed-loop action planning by connecting Voice of the Customer insights to product backlog decisions, release priorities, and support process improvements.
• Influence roadmap direction with a focus on reducing avoidable support cases, improving time-to-resolution, enabling self-driving network experiences, and increasing product reliability and operational simplicity.
• Develop executive-ready narratives and readouts that connect technical serviceability gaps and Voice of the Customer trends to business impact, customer outcomes, and Product Management priorities.
• Act as the customer and support advocate in cross-functional planning discussions, ensuring the voice of Technical Support engineers and customers is represented in product decisions.
• Help define the frameworks, metrics, and operating rhythms used to track serviceability requests, supportability improvements, Voice of the Customer themes, and resulting business outcomes.
