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.
