Accountabilities

Develop and maintain the integrated project plan, including schedules, milestones, dependencies, resource requirements, and delivery roadmaps for the terrestrial CDN and packet recovery program.

Coordinate cross-functional activities involving video engineering, network architecture, operations, testing, customer teams, affiliates, vendors, and external technology partners.

Organize and facilitate requirements, design, planning, status, risk, and decision-making meetings, ensuring clear documentation of outcomes, responsibilities, and deadlines.

Manage project scope, schedules, budgets, risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies (RAID), change control, and governance throughout the project lifecycle.

Translate complex technical concepts involving CDN architecture, IP media transport, packet recovery, headends, network capacity, and monitoring into structured workstreams and actionable plans.

Monitor progress against capacity planning, traffic engineering, regional scalability, last-mile bandwidth optimization, and cost-management objectives.

Coordinate test planning and execution across laboratory environments, peak-demand scenarios, packet-loss and recovery testing, network resilience, weather-event simulations, and operational-readiness assessments.

Define and monitor measurable acceptance criteria, including recovery performance, latency, network availability, capacity, utilization, and operational reporting.

Manage vendor evaluations, procurement dependencies, implementation commitments, and delivery performance across technology partners and engineering resources.

Identify, assess, and escalate risks that could affect technical performance, interoperability, timelines, budgets, customer readiness, or operational continuity.

Coordinate deployment planning, customer and affiliate readiness, communications, cutover activities, implementation validation, and transition to ongoing operations and support.

Ensure deliverables align with architecture standards, Concept of Operations (CONOPS), operational controls, monitoring requirements, and lifecycle management processes.

Provide concise, decision-oriented updates to senior leadership and technical stakeholders, covering progress, blockers, trade-offs, financial impacts, and recommended actions.

Build effective relationships across engineering, operations, vendors, customers, affiliates, and business teams while maintaining accountability for project outcomes.

Requirements

At least 7 years of project or program management experience leading complex initiatives in technology, telecommunications, networking, media, or infrastructure.

Demonstrated experience managing large, cross-functional technical programs from initial planning through testing, deployment, operational readiness, and handoff.

Working knowledge of large-scale video distribution, live and linear video delivery, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), IP-based media transport, or distributed network environments.

Strongly preferred: Experience with satellite-terrestrial distribution, headends, earth stations, TAPs, receivers, packet recovery, media edge, or related video infrastructure.

Understanding of terrestrial IP networking, traffic management, capacity planning, network resilience, monitoring, and optimization.

Experience managing integrated project plans, budgets, RAID logs, dependencies, change control, governance, status reporting, and executive communications.

Experience coordinating test strategies, acceptance criteria, deployment readiness, cutover activities, and operational transitions for critical technology platforms.

Experience managing technology vendors, implementation partners, and external technical resources.

Preferred: Familiarity with ARQ, RIST-based transport, packet recovery networks, or Video Services Forum specifications, including VSF TR-06-4 Parts 6 and 7.

Ability to understand the end-to-end video distribution ecosystem and connect technical delivery decisions to measurable business outcomes.

Strong analytical, organizational, and decision-making skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and make timely, data-informed recommendations.
