Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced IP Core / Transport Project Manager to support the delivery of core IP and core transport network initiatives within a large telecommunications environment.

This role is focused on wireline core infrastructure, including IP core routing platforms and optical transport networks, which collectively carry wireless, wireline, media, and enterprise traffic at national scale.

The Project Manager will be responsible for end‑to‑end project delivery, working across multiple technical and business stakeholders, vendors, and internal teams.

The ideal candidate is a strong project manager first, with sufficient core network domain knowledge to confidently manage complex IP and transport initiatives and communicate effectively with technical teams.

Key Responsibilities
Deliver end‑to‑end project management for core IP and core transport network projects, from initiation through close‑out
Manage projects involving large‑scale IP core routers and optical transport infrastructure (not access or outside plant work)
Build, maintain, and actively manage project schedules, milestones, dependencies, and risks
Coordinate across a large, multi‑stakeholder environment, including engineering, operations, vendors, and program leadership

Drive execution of recurring initiatives such as:
Capacity augments ("keep the lights on" initiatives)
Network resiliency improvements
Lifecycle management and hardware refresh programs
Expansion into new territories
Ensure projects remain on track despite technical and organizational complexity
Track and manage financials, forecasts, and delivery commitments associated with assigned projects
Lead and facilitate technical and project forums, demonstrating enough domain knowledge to follow and clarify discussions
Work closely with peer Project Managers and leverage established onboarding and buddy processes when joining new initiatives
Required Experience & Skills
Project Management
Proven experience delivering telecommunications network projects end‑to‑end.

Strong fundamentals in:
Schedule creation and management
Dependency tracking
Risk and issue management
Stakeholder coordination
Ability to deliver consistently in a high‑volume, fast‑paced environment
Experience working within large, complex organizations with many interdependent teams
Core Network Domain Experience
Candidates must have experience in core network environments, preferably wireline


Relevant experience includes:
IP Core
Large‑scale IP routing platforms (e.g., Cisco ASR, Juniper MX)
Core, distribution, service delivery, or management IP network layers
Transport / Optical
DWDM / optical transport networks
Backbone or core transport connectivity between major IP nodes
Experience with vendors such as Ciena and Nokia

Important:
This role does not include access networks, outside plant, fiber construction, GPON, microwave, or RAN‑only roles. Experience limited to IP RAN, access transport, or radio access is not sufficient on its own.
Preferred Qualifications
Telecommunications experience (strongly preferred to reduce onboarding time)
Experience working with Tier‑1 or Tier‑2 telecom operators.
Prior exposure to both IP core and optical transport projects
Experience working with multiple major network vendors rather than a single technology stack
Familiarity with project management tools such as JIRA (helpful but not mandatory)
Education
A degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is preferred but not mandatory
Practical, relevant experience and delivery capability are valued more than formal education credentials
What Will Make You Successful in This Role
Strong project management discipline with the ability to keep work moving forward
Comfort operating in technically complex discussions without needing to be a hands‑on engineer
Ability to quickly identify whether work relates to core vs access networks
Confidence managing large, high‑impact projects that support national‑scale telecom services
A pragmatic, delivery‑focused mindset with minimal ramp‑up time required.
