• Influence the development and deployment of termination points within metro, regional, and long-haul fiber routes.
• Develop and execute partnerships that drive connectivity between enterprise data centers, scale campuses, and aggregation zones.
• Collaborate with internal teams and infrastructure stakeholders to identify bottlenecks, mitigate risks, and optimize access and routing decisions.
• Engage with engineering, operations, and executive-level stakeholders to present strategies, cost models, and deployment schedules.
• Map and model infrastructure options using GIS tools and apply business judgment to determine viable routes and delivery partners.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of experience in the telecom or fiber optics space, ideally working with ISPs, carriers, hyperscalers, or large-scale infrastructure owners.
•  A strong understanding of terrestrial fiber networks, peering ecosystems, and interconnection models.
•  Experience managing infrastructure partnerships and executing carrier/vendor negotiations.
• Solid knowledge of GIS-based planning and infrastructure modeling.
• Proven ability to manage technical vendor relationships and negotiate favorable outcomes for complex network deployments.
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (engineering, ICT, or related) or equivalent work experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience at a major carrier, internet provider, or hyperscale/cloud infrastructure provider.
• Demonstrated ability to forecast and shape customer requirements into executable infrastructure plans.
• Prior involvement in technical business development, network planning, or data center interconnection initiatives.
• Ability to communicate highly technical plans and outcomes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Why Apply?

• Be part of a company influencing how national networks connect and scale.
• Work alongside deeply experienced professionals in a high-impact, early-stage setting.
• Opportunity to grow into a leadership role as the team and infrastructure expand.
• 100% remote flexibility with nationwide influence and exposure to cutting-edge network projects.
