Partner with Finance and delivery teams to manage commitments, spending, forecast accuracy, and recovery plans.
Improve capital efficiency through optimization, architectural alternatives, commercial options, and process improvements.

Operational Execution, Risk & Delivery

Convert planning decisions into executable projects with defined scope, ownership, funding, and delivery readiness.
Manage dependencies across engineering, procurement, operations, implementation, vendors, and business stakeholders.
Lead portfolio risk and issue management, including mitigation plans and executive escalation.

Data, Automation & Decision Intelligence

Champion data-driven planning through improved data quality, analytics, and decision transparency.
Lead dashboards, scorecards, scenario modeling, and automated reporting to improve visibility and efficiency.
Leverage analytics, AI-enabled tools, and predictive methods to identify constraints, evaluate alternatives, improve forecasts, and accelerate decisions.
Ensure governance, validation, and accountability for automated and AI-assisted insights.

Executive Communication & Cross-Functional Influence

Represent Network Planning in executive reviews, investment discussions, and cross-functional decision forums.
Translate complex technical and financial information into clear business impacts, recommendations, risks, and actions.
Build stakeholder alignment by framing options, facilitating decisions, and driving accountability.
Influence outcomes through strong cross-functional partnerships.

People Leadership & Organizational Capability

Lead, coach, and develop managers, planners, analysts, and technical professionals while setting clear performance expectations.
Build a high-performing organization through talent planning, succession management, and development.
Align resources to strategic priorities, address capability gaps, and adapt team structures as business needs evolve.
Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Scope & Decision Accountability

Own outcomes across a significant network planning portfolio, multiple programs, or broad geographic and technology scope.
Make and recommend decisions involving capital priorities, customer impacts, operational risk, technical options, and delivery constraints.
Operate independently on complex issues, escalating with recommendations when enterprise tradeoffs are required.
Retain accountability for portfolio health, execution, and results.

Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional portfolios or programs with material capital, customer, operational, or strategic impact.
Strong knowledge of network capacity planning, forecasting, infrastructure investment, project lifecycle, and operational risk management.
Proven financial acumen, including capital planning, business-case development, prioritization, forecasting, and variance management.
Executive-level written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present concise recommendations and influence senior stakeholders.
Experience using analytics, dashboards, and planning tools to improve decisions, transparency, and execution.
Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, establish operating structure, and deliver results across organizational boundaries.
