What you’ll be doing
Your responsibilities will include change management, which involves analysing planned changes in the telecoms environment and approving them on behalf of the operations department. You will also manage vendors, working with them to maintain and improve operational performance and practices.

Additionally, you should be aware of network development policies and procedures and possess developed customer service skills.
