The Team

Alvarez & Marsal's Corporate Performance Improvement practice is looking for a Network Engineering leader to drive large-scale network assessment, consolidation, and network transformation for clients operating complex, globally distributed infrastructure environments. This role requires someone who has redesigned enterprise network architectures at scale - not just operating existing networks.

• Wide-area network (WAN) and local-area network (LAN) architecture, software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) design and implementation, and SASE deployment

• Legacy circuit optimization, bandwidth/latency analysis, and network cost modeling

• Network security architecture - micro-segmentation, Zero Trust networking, perimeter modernization

• Multi-classification network environments and cross-domain solution architectures

• SATCOM, wireless integration, and tactical/edge network design

• Government telecommunications policy and compliance - direct experience with federal network environments is a strong advantage and preferred for this role

• AI-driven network monitoring, anomaly detection, and optimization tooling - baseline competency with AI-assisted tools expected; candidates should articulate how AI accelerates network analysis and operations

• Negotiating with carriers and general understanding of commercial models and contracts available.

• Design and architecting 99.99% uptime hybrid network infrastructure with zero single points of failure. Proven experience with active-active failover across on-premises and cloud environments, sub-second recovery mechanisms, and multi-region/multi-availability-zone redundancy.

How you will contribute

• Lead network architecture and engineering assessments - topology analysis, bandwidth/latency optimization, cost modeling, and roadmaps

• Design SD-WAN/SASE target architectures that support hybrid and multi-cloud workloads across classification levels

• Assess Zero Trust network readiness and develop implementation roadmaps aligned to compliance timelines

• Evaluate dependencies between network modernization and cloud migration sequencing

• Define and Integrate findings into A&M's broader engagement scope and deliverables

• Support practice development through internal training, content creation, and people development

Qualifications

• 8-12+ years of professional experience in network architecture for complex, large enterprises, with consulting or advisory delivery

• Demonstrated experience leading network consolidation, efficiency, performance improvement or transformation programs

• Federal network environment experience preferred - deep transformation experience in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare) can substitute

• Bachelor's degree required; CCIE, CCNP, or equivalent certifications strongly preferred

• Comfortable with travel up to 80%

• Full-time, contract, and project-based engagements available

Has designed and implemented large scale, highly complex Network transformations at scale - not just operated existing networks. Understands the dependency between network readiness and cloud migration success. Can work across telecom procurement, security, and infrastructure teams. Brings AI-assisted network analysis into the delivery toolkit as standard practice.
