4. Vendor & Partner Management

  • Provide technical leadership across external vendors and system integrators.
  • Validate vendor designs, build quality, and implementation plans.
  • Ensure contractual deliverables and SLAs are met from a technical perspective.

5. Operations & Lifecycle

  • Ensure smooth handover to operations, including documentation and support models.
  • Support major incidents and root cause analysis for complex network issues.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of network platforms and delivery processes.
