About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the end-to-end technical delivery of Cisco Service Provider solutions, owning solution design, implementation, and customer acceptance across complex SP network programs.
Act as the senior technical authority during delivery, translating high-level designs (HLDs) into low-level designs (LLDs), MOPs, and validated implementation plans.

Coordinate multiple concurrent projects within the program, ensuring delivery on time, within budget, and to agreed quality while adhering to Cisco's GPMO methodology.
Act as the central point of program control and communication between Cisco.
Create and maintain detailed project/program plans, including scope, schedule, resources, cost, quality, communications, and risk/issue logs.
Drive adherence to scope and manage change requests with the customer, partners, and Cisco account teams.
Monitor baseline dimensions — schedule, cost, and quality — and proactively identify and mitigate risks with clear contingency plans.
Lead strategic technical discussions across stakeholders, share Cisco’s product roadmap by integrating customer feedback and market insights, and develop differentiated solutions that drive long-term business value.
