The Deployment & Operations Enablement Manager owns day-to-day program management for a next-generation network infrastructure program, serving as the single point of contact for all vendor and cross-functional communications. This role streamlines PM involvement across the program, eliminates vendor confusion, reduces internal fragmentation, and keeps the meeting cadence lean, risk-focused, and operationally mature.

This is a hands-on, tactical role, not a status-reporting one. The Deployment and Operations Enablement Manager runs the program's recurring meeting cadence, drives vendor and partner commitments to closure, keeps deployment schedules and escalations moving, and provides oversight of the program dashboards. The role requires someone who can build and run schedules, standups, and program mechanisms from scratch while the program matures around them.

Key Responsibilities

- Program Planning & Schedule Ownership

Lead end-to-end (E2E) program management covering all phases from initiation through completion. Drive strategic programs and alignment across complex dependencies involving multiple engineering teams, external partners and competing priorities. Own or stand up RAID trackers, workback schedules and additional detailed schedules as the program requires. Build scenarios and data models to support planning decisions for sites tracking red, including fallout scenarios.

- Meeting Cadence & Program Mechanisms

Own and run the core program cadence, including the bi-weekly Core Team sync, deployment vendor syncs, operations vendors syncs, and weekly leadership 1:1s. Contribute actively to partner-owned forums, including the vendor training program Stand up and run site daily standups as deployment pressure requires,



including seven-day-a-week coverage during peak periods. Drive the ~50% reduction in total meeting count by shifting content from line-by-line reviews to programmatic risks, quality issues, and critical near-term deliverables.

- Vendor & Cross-Functional Partner Management

Serve as the single point of contact for vendor and cross-functional communications across Optical, Deployment and IP, Operations and Supplier Management, Equipment and Logistics , and Space and Power. Drive manufacturing, shipment, and delivery commitments to closure Manage field execution alignment with vendors, and training readiness with training partner Chase shipments, follow up in email and chat, and unblock people directly rather than only maintaining trackers.

- Risk Management & Escalation

Escalation management and SEV visibility across the program, including monitoring site SEVs and requesting updates. Risk identification and mitigation: Proactively surface material shortfalls, equipment and logistics gaps, and space and power readiness risks with sufficient lead time to protect committed turn-up dates, driving mitigation plans to closure across cross-functional partners and suppliers.

- Reporting & Dashboards

Provide oversight of the Space & Power, Deployments and Operations dashboards, ensuring data is current and decision-ready. Update the executive leadership team weekly for H2 2026 completion tracking.



Use dashboards and data as the primary reporting and decision-making tool, one-pagers rather than narrative status.

- Continuous Improvement

Drive the transition from incubator-style program management to a repeatable, business-as-usual operational model Run retrospectives, including the planned offsite retrospective, and convert findings into program mechanism changes. Standardize templates, trackers, and cadence artifacts so new sites onboard faster.

Required Skills & Qualifications

- Technical & Domain Knowledge

Strong understanding of network and optical infrastructure deployment, including fiber splicing, plane migration, spine and leaf delivery, BOMs, CBB and EBB onboarding. Familiarity with site readiness workstreams: space and power (colo), equipment logistics, material shortfalls, and shipping and warehouse coordination. Ability to read and interpret network designs/paths, and deployment tracker structures, or the demonstrated willingness to learn to do so. Proficiency with project management and dashboard tooling, and comfort building data models and scenario analyses. Hands-on experience with LLM platforms and agentic AI tools (for example Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) to automate reporting workflows and orchestrate multi-step program tasks.

- Leadership & Interpersonal Skills

Credibility running a room of senior engineering and operations stakeholders toward decisions. Strong vendor and partner management instincts, including sound escalation judgment on timing and audience. Proven ability to influence without authority across multiple vendors and internal teams at once. Ability to operate independently in ambiguous, high-pressure environments with aggressive schedules and
