About the Role

The Network Operations Manager will establish and lead the management system that enables Network Operations to deliver reliable, predictable, and continuously improving production services. This leader converts operational data into action, turns repeatable work into automation, strengthens cross-functional production governance, and ensures that new products, services, and releases are operationally ready before they enter steady-state support. This is a highly technical role requiring hands-on involvement in day-to-day operations, debugging, and execution. The successful candidate will create practical standards, operating rhythms, and measurable controls while developing a small, high-impact team. The role partners closely with Support, Operations, SRE, Engineering, DevOps, QA, Database Engineering, Product, and Security.

Responsibilities

Build and lead the Operational Excellence function, including its operating model, roadmap, governance, and talent.
Own the automation and tooling strategy for Network Operations, prioritizing work that reduces manual effort, repeat incidents, and operational risk.
Define and govern operational-readiness criteria for new products, services, and significant changes before production handoff.
Create the metrics, management reviews, and continuous-improvement mechanisms that improve reliability, efficiency, and customer outcomes.
Design and run the operational cadence: service reviews, reliability reviews, action tracking, risk reviews, and executive reporting.
Define standards, procedures, controls, and ownership models across Support, Operations, and Operational Excellence.
Develop a maturity roadmap and prioritize improvements using service performance, operational risk, and business impact.
Lead root-cause-driven improvement programs and ensure corrective actions produce durable outcomes.
Own the Network Operations automation and tools roadmap, intake process, and value measurement.
Guide Automation & Tools Engineers in building self-service workflows, integrations, observability enhancements, and safe operational automation.
Measure automation impact through toil reduction, faster recovery, fewer errors, and improved service consistency.
Define production-readiness standards covering observability, alerting, support model, runbooks, SLOs, capacity, resilience, security, recovery, ownership, and escalation.
Review and govern operational readiness for designs created by Engineering; identify gaps, risks, and acceptance conditions before launch or handoff.
Ensure the support and operations teams receive the knowledge, access, documentation, tooling, and training required to support new services.
Track readiness exceptions and post-launch stabilization commitments to closure.
Build dashboards and scorecards for availability, reliability, incident performance, change health, support quality, toil, automation value, and improvement delivery.
Translate operational data into clear priorities and decision-ready reporting for the Director of Network Operations and executive stakeholders.
Create mechanisms to capture lessons, standardize effective practices, and sustain gains over time.
Set clear outcomes, coach team members, and build a culture of accountability, curiosity, service, and continuous improvement.
Influence across organizational boundaries and resolve competing priorities using data, customer impact, and operational risk.
Act as a trusted delegate to the Director of Network Operations for operational-excellence initiatives and governance forums.
