What you will bring
• Strong experience in customer-facing services, ideally within telecom, managed services or adjacent technology domains.• Systems thinking across the closed loop of design, deployment, operation, assurance and continuous improvement, with a core focus on autonomy levels.• A clear vision of autonomy maturity levels and how to evolve operations from reactive to predictive and autonomous.• Proven ability to integrate AI, orchestration and assurance into coherent service offerings and value propositions.• Experience with intent-based and policy-driven approaches to operations and service management.• Deep understanding of managed services operations and what it takes to run them efficiently at scale.• High fluency in data, observability and metrics, with comfort using data to drive decisions, KPIs and roadmap priorities.• Strong focus on trust, governance and risk control in the design and commercialization of services.• A platform and reusability mindset, ensuring capabilities can be scaled and reused across customers and offerings.• Change management and organizational adoption skills, enabling regions and customers to successfully adopt new AO capabilities.• Ownership of KPIs and outcomes, especially autonomy-centric KPIs related to incident avoidance, operational efficiency and scalability.• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with Sales, Marketing, Finance, Deal Desk, Bid teams and regional stakeholders.
