This is a highly technical program management role requiring hands-on experience with large-scale carrier-grade or enterprise backbone network transformations, not general IT project management.
This role requires candidates to have led at least one project involving one or more of the following. Applicants without this specific experience will not be considered:

- Backbone, optical transport, or core network modernization
- MPLS transport modernization
- Comparable large-scale network infrastructure transformation efforts

- Active PMP certification (Project Management Institute) required at time of application — must be verifiable
- Demonstrated experience with:
- Risk/issue management and mitigation strategy development
- Testing, validation, and readiness activities (lab validation, pilot deployments, field rollouts, operational acceptance)
- Vendor relationship, SLA, and contract deliverable management
- Design reviews, status reporting, and cross-functional stakeholder communication
- Available on-site a minimum of 4 business days per week for the duration of the engagement
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain required security clearances, badges, and access credentials for a secure facility environment
What You'll Do
- Develop and maintain master project plans, WBS, schedules, and program roadmaps for a multi-phase network modernization program
- Coordinate design reviews and maintain requirements traceability across technical and business teams
- Oversee deployment sequencing, lab validation, field rollouts, and production readiness checks
- Maintain risk, issue, and dependency registers with mitigation and escalation paths
- Coordinate vendor delivery schedules and cross-team alignment
- Lead operational readiness reviews, including runbook/SOP updates and monitoring integration
- Support hardware lifecycle planning and end-of-service analysis
How to Apply
Please submit:
- Resume detailing your program management experience, with specific emphasis on any project(s) involving 400G, backbone/optical transport, or MPLS transport modernization
- A summary of 5 recent, relevant large-scale technology programs you've led, including project scope, dates, your role, schedule/budget performance, and a client reference contact — at least one of which must involve 400G, backbone/optical transport, or MPLS transport modernization
- Confirmation of active PMP certification
- Confirmation of ability to work on-site 4 days/week in San Francisco and to obtain required security clearance/badging
Note: This role is being sourced for a specific client engagement requiring the qualifications above. Candidates without direct backbone/MPLS/large-scale network transformation experience, unfortunately, will not meet the client's minimum requirements for this opportunity.
