Network Deployment Project Manager Jobs in Washington

The Sr. Mgr of Network Deployment Scaling is the senior network deployment leader responsible for the end-to-end delivery of network infrastructure across one or more regions within the Global Network Deployment (GND) organization. GND owns the structured cabling, hardware deployment, and hardware commissioning that bring new network capacity online during data center build, scaling, and integration. As the most senior deployment role in the region, this leader carries managerial responsibility for the safety, quality, speed, scaling, efficiency, and cost of every network deployment in their portfolio.
This is a manager-of-managers role. You will build and lead high-performing teams of deployment managers and network technicians across multiple sites and regions, understand and manage their day-to-day delivery, and at the same time retain the technical capability and curiosity to dive deep into any given challenge as needed. Rather than executing within a defined plan, you will own and set the deployment strategy - defining the mechanisms, standards, and organizational structure required to deploy network capacity on time with zero rework, at the scale of the largest cloud network on the planet.
You will ensure the right resources and structure are in place to proactively stay ahead of our capacity demands while applying rigorous thinking around resource efficiency. Our leaders are deeply technical, understanding their environment well enough to accurately represent issues and implement strategies that continue to set new records for cycle time, quality, and staff efficiency. You will be integral to the wider infrastructure management senior leadership team, shaping new solutions and designs alongside our engineering, planning, and operations organizations, and you will own all aspects of people management across a geographically distributed team.
