About the Team

We are looking for an IP Link Delivery Manager to own the end-to-end delivery of IP connectivity across our global infrastructure. This role is responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering high-capacity IP links (DCI, backbone, IX, transit) across multiple data centers and regions.

 

You will work at the intersection of network engineering, vendors, carriers, and internal stakeholders, ensuring reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient connectivity aligned with business and operational requirements.

About the Role

• Delivery Coordination

Own end-to-end delivery of IP links across DCI, transit and peering, and backbone connections, tracking milestones and dependencies from order through turn-up. Drive timely follow-ups with vendors and internal teams to keep delivery on schedule.

• Vendor & Carrier Interaction

Act as the primary point of contact for carriers and providers through ordering, provisioning, and installation scheduling, tracking tickets and escalating delays where needed. Validate delivered services against agreed requirements for capacity, location, and SLA.

• Technical Coordination

Work with IP/network engineering to translate link requirements into configurations and implementation plans. Support validation of basic routing (BGP sessions, reachability) and link status and performance checks.

• Implementation Support

Coordinate testing windows and track Layer 1–3 validation steps during link turn-up activities. Ensure documentation is complete and services are formally handed over to operations.

• Reporting & Tracking

Maintain delivery trackers and status reports with regular updates on timelines, risks, and blockers. Provide capacity tracking and basic forecasting inputs to support planning.

• Incident & Support Participation

Assist in troubleshooting connectivity issues with vendors and support incident coordination when required. Track post-incident actions through to closure.

About You

Must Have

• 2+ years of experience in project coordination, service delivery, or infrastructure/network operations roles.
• Working knowledge of IP networking fundamentals, including BGP and general routing concepts.
• Understanding of data-centers connectivity and link types (1G/10G/100G), including concepts such as latency, redundancy, and failover.
• Proven ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams, timelines, and dependencies without losing track of detail.
• Hands-on experience with ticketing and tracking systems, and comfort maintaining structured documentation.
• Ability to interpret basic monitoring tools, logs, and link status data to support validation and troubleshooting.
• Strong organizational and follow-up skills, with the persistence to chase vendors and internal teams to closure.
• Clear communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to telecom, ISP, or carrier environments and their ordering and provisioning processes.
• Experience in data-centers operations or coordinating on-site installation and turn-up activities.
• Prior experience interacting directly with vendors and carriers, including ticket escalation.
• Basic scripting or automation knowledge (e.g. Python, Bash) for reporting or tracking tasks
