You will coordinate end-to-end delivery across IP backbone and Internet edge initiatives, ensuring that technical teams, infrastructure stakeholders, suppliers, and external providers remain aligned throughout planning, implementation, and launch.

• Coordinate data center and PoP readiness: Manage IP connectivity due diligence for new data center and Point of Presence (PoP) locations, confirming site requirements, network roles, connectivity paths, and dependencies.

• Manage infrastructure readiness: Coordinate requirements involving rack space, power, security, cabling, cross-connects, hardware delivery, carrier access, and installation readiness.

• Align IP and Layer 1 delivery: Work with network and transport teams to establish clear responsibilities, service demarcation points, handoffs, and integrated delivery milestones.

• Plan IP connectivity: Coordinate the delivery of IP transit, peering, private interconnects, and backbone connectivity in alignment with global network architecture and business requirements.

• Support provider qualification: Coordinate technical due diligence with Network Architecture, Engineering, and Procurement, gathering ISP information, tracking qualification assessments, and documenting provider selection decisions.

• Manage connectivity dependencies: Maintain visibility into circuits, ports, routers, optics, cross-connects, provider capacity, commercial requirements, and delivery schedules to ensure end-to-end service activation.

• Coordinate routing resources and security: Oversee the lifecycle and accurate documentation of IPv4 and IPv6 allocations, ASN usage, AS-SETs, route objects, and Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs).

• Track routing security readiness: Coordinate RPKI and Internet Routing Registry (IRR) requirements during provider onboarding, routing changes, and new-site launches, working with technical owners to resolve issues.

• Coordinate backbone hardware and supply: Maintain forward-looking hardware demand forecasts and manage delivery coordination for routers, line cards, optics, spare components, software entitlements, and related infrastructure.

• Support hardware procurement: Work with IP Engineering, Network Supply, and Procurement to validate bills of materials, track purchase requests, monitor supplier commitments, and manage lead times and regional logistics.

• Manage project delivery: Build and maintain integrated project plans covering milestones, dependencies, owners, acceptance criteria, risks, and operational handover requirements.

• Drive cross-functional execution: Coordinate activities across IP Architecture, IP Engineering, Layer 1 Planning, Data Center Operations, Construction, Security, Procurement, and external service providers.

• Oversee launch coordination: Track testing, service activation, routing turn-up, documentation, and operational handover to ensure infrastructure is ready for production.

• Monitor network capacity: Track IP backbone and Internet edge capacity against forecast demand, data center expansion, customer requirements, and platform launches.

• Maintain infrastructure records: Ensure accurate documentation of PoPs, providers, circuits, ports, ASNs, address allocations, routing resources, and deployment status in agreed systems.

• Manage risks and escalations: Identify blockers, coordinate mitigation plans, and escalate issues that could affect launch schedules, customer commitments, network availability, or resilience.

• Coordinate security initiatives: Support IP security and DDoS-related projects by managing scope, stakeholders, dependencies, milestones, risks, and delivery handovers while Security Architects retain technical ownership.

• Improve operational processes: Support incident follow-ups, provider escalations, project reviews, and continuous improvements in planning, connectivity resilience, provider diversity, and operational readiness.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate is an experienced technical program or project management professional with a strong understanding of IP networking and large-scale infrastructure delivery. You should be comfortable coordinating complex technical initiatives across multiple teams, managing external dependencies, and ensuring that infrastructure projects progress from planning to successful operational handover.

• Demonstrated experience in technical program management, project management, or infrastructure delivery within networking, telecommunications, cloud infrastructure, or data center environments.

• Strong understanding of IP backbone infrastructure, Internet connectivity, and network architecture, including IP transit, peering, private interconnects, and routing.

• Experience coordinating data center or Point of Presence (PoP) deployments, including connectivity readiness, hardware delivery, site dependencies, and service activation.

• Familiarity with Layer 1 and Layer 2 infrastructure concepts, including fiber connectivity, DWDM transport, cross-connects, optical handoffs, and network demarcation points.

• Understanding of Internet routing resources and security mechanisms, including IPv4, IPv6, ASN management, BGP-related resources, RPKI, IRR, AS-SETs, route objects, and ROAs.

• Experience coordinating network hardware procurement and supply processes, including routers, line cards, optics, bills of materials, supplier lead times, and logistics.

• Ability to build and maintain integrated project plans, define milestones, track dependencies, manage risks, and coordinate multiple technical workstreams.

• Experience working with network engineering, architecture, procurement, data center operations, security, and external infrastructure providers.

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to facilitate technical discussions and drive decisions across distributed teams.

• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail, particularly when managing complex dependencies, documentation, and delivery schedules.

• Proactive problem-solving abilities, with the confidence to identify risks, resolve blockers, and escalate critical issues when necessary.

• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-growing environment where project scope, priorities, and responsibilities may evolve with business needs.

• Professional proficiency in English and the ability to collaborate within an international technical organisation.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation: Annual base salary ranging from $180,000 to $230,000 USD, depending on experience, qualifications, skills, hiring level, and geographic location.
