- Manage live-network migrations, ensuring minimal service disruption.
- Own project schedules, budgets, risks, dependencies and change control.
- Coordinate CAB approvals, deployment windows and contingency planning.
- Manage vendor deliverables, technical milestones and operational acceptance.




- Provide explicit reporting to senior stakeholders and project governance forums.

What We're Looking For

- 15+ years' experience in telecommunications, including significant technical project management experience.
- Proven delivery of Mobile Core, IMS or IP network transformation projects.
- Strong understanding of Mobile IP Core architecture and IP/MPLS transport networks.
- Knowledge of BGP, OSPF/IS-IS, MPLS, QoS and IPv4/IPv6.
- Experience managing live-network migrations, core upgrades or network swaps.
- Experience working in Tier-1 telecommunications operator environments.
- Exposure to multi-vendor environments including Ericsson, Nokia and Cisco.
- Strong understanding of Telco Cloud, Data Centre connectivity and Core-to-RAN dependencies.
- Excellent stakeholder, vendor and commercial management skills.
- PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent certification highly regarded.
