Winnebago Cooperative Telecom Association (WCTA)
Location: Lake Mills, IA (Onsite)
Aureon Consulting is excited to partner with Winnebago Cooperative Telecom Association (WCTA) in the search for a Network Operations Center (NOC) Manager.
This is more than a technical operations role—we are seeking a hands-on leader who can drive performance, develop people, and play a key role in ensuring the reliability of a best-in-class fiber network.

You will oversee the performance and reliability of WCTA’s fiber network while leading a critical team responsible for monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement. You’ll work closely with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure a seamless customer experience and drive operational excellence. This position offers clear visibility, influence, and a path for career advancement into broader operational or executive leadership roles.

Oversee departmental budget planning and execution
Ensure resources are aligned to meet operational and strategic objectives
