  • Manage the voice network engineering team's daily workflow, projects, performance, training, and professional development to drive operational excellence. Develop, manage, and optimize annual department budgets, expenditures, vendor relationships, licensing, and inventory management.
  • Own capacity planning, availability, reliability, and continuous optimization of mission-critical voice systems (IP-PBXs, VoIP, SIP trunks, call routing, IVR, call centers)
  • Lead major system upgrades, and maintenance windows, across voice infrastructure to maximize uptime and service quality. Evaluate and make build/buy/partner recommendations on emerging voice/unified communications innovations to drive digital transformation.
  • Ensure compliance with telecom policies, regulations (e.g. CPNI, CALEA), security practices, and service level agreements.

  • Proven mastery of voice/data networking technologies - VoIP, SIP, MPLS, QoS, Analog/Digital voice circuits, TDM to SIP migrations
  • BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or related technical discipline; MBA or master's degree preferred.
  • This is a hands-on leadership role that combines strategic direction with deep technical acumen across the voice/unified communications domain. The successful candidate will be a strong people manager able to attract, develop, and inspire a team of top engineering talent.
