• Oversee Managed Service Provider (MSP)/NOC partners to ensure Fortinet-related network incidents and problems are resolved or escalated within SLA (e.g., firewall monitoring, telecom circuit troubleshooting, out-of-band management via FortiExtender).
• Provide Engineering-level support for incident and problem management across the SD-WAN environment, including site-specific firewall rules and local policy exceptions.
• Analyze FortiAnalyzer/FortiManager reports, system logs, and health monitoring data (CPU, memory, sessions, HA status) to proactively identify and remediate issues.
• Collaborate with vendors (Fortinet, telecom carriers, MSPs) and internal technical teams to plan branch network deployments, greenfield builds, and data center transitions.
• Develop and manage SD-WAN project plans, including resource estimates, timelines, and stakeholder communication.
• Advise management on SD-WAN technology roadmap, Fortinet product evaluation, and recommendations for upgrades or new capabilities.
