The ideal candidate is highly organized, technically fluent, and comfortable managing both people-facing and process-facing responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. 

Responsibilities

• Monitor, maintain, and drive execution of the Network Engineering department’s priority list, ensuring initiatives stay on track and roadblocks are surfaced early.

• Highly organized with outstanding attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.


• Strong analytical and problem solving skills with a willingness to learn technical concepts quickly.


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical issues for non-technical stakeholders (e.g., building owners/stakeholders).


• Experience in telecommunications, ISP, networking, project management, or technical operations is a plus, but not required.
