  • Develop, maintain, and govern operator-ready SOPs, MOPs, troubleshooting flows, and commissioning procedures, ensuring consistency and disciplined process adoption across the global operation.
  • Manage change control for gateway operations, including intake, scheduling, risk/backout planning, and post-change validation, ensuring all activities are properly documented and operationally sound.
  • Validate new gateway builds and service readiness, ensuring alarms, access, documentation, monitoring, and KPIs are accurate, meaningful, and fully accepted before entering service.
  • Develop team capability through structured training plans, cross-training programs, coaching, and ongoing skill development to ensure full readiness across all gateway functions.
  • Coordinate Smart Hands and site-access workflows, including request management, onsite support coordination, and cost-visibility to support operations and maintenance activities.
  • Drive continuous improvement by maintaining an operations improvement backlog, implementing automation and AI-assisted tooling, improving dashboards and telemetry, and identifying opportunities to enhance service quality and operational stability.

COMPETENCIES
  • Demonstrates strong leadership in an operational environment, providing clear direction, prioritization, and decisive action during live incidents.
  • Applies structured troubleshooting methods, leads major incident bridges, and ensures effective escalation and rapid, coordinated resolution.
  • Develops, maintains, and enforces SOPs, MOPs, troubleshooting flows, and commissioning procedures, ensuring consistency and engineering rigor across all gateways.
  • Manages change intake, risk assessment, scheduling, and post-change validation; ensures new systems meet operational acceptance standards, including alarms, documentation, and monitoring.
  • Validates dashboards, KPIs, alarms, and telemetry for accuracy and meaningful visibility; analyzes incident and performance trends to drive systemic improvements.
  • Builds a high-performing team through coaching, structured training, cross-training, and role-based development plans; fosters a culture of accountability and operational excellence.
  • Communicates clearly with L3 engineering, Field Engineering, NOC, and leadership; provides concise reporting and coordinates Smart Hands and site-access workflows effectively.
  • Maintains an operations improvement backlog, leads initiatives that enhance service quality and efficiency, and champions practical automation and AI assistance to reduce toil and optimize workflows.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
  • Engineering degree (Electrical/Telecommunications) or equivalent hands-on experience in satellite gateway/teleport operations.
  • 7-10+ years experience in gateway/teleport/satellite ground operations with substantial incident/change management exposure.
  • Proven leadership in 24×7 operational environments, managing distributed teams.
  • Demonstrated experience writing effective MOPs/SOPs and leading service-restoration bridges.
