Chief Technology Officer - Broadband Division Executive opportunity | Las Vegas hybrid position | Frequent multi-state travel The mandate Own the technical future of Stimulus Technologies' broadband business - from network strategy and architecture through construction acceptance, operational readiness, reliability, and long-term performance. The opportunity Stimulus Technologies is seeking a Chief Technology Officer - Broadband Division to lead the technical strategy and execution of a growing, multi-state ISP organization. This executive will establish a common technical operating model across fiber, fixed wireless, cable, and voice environments while leading the transition of major network builds into reliable, scalable operations. This is not a corporate IT or software CTO role. It is an operating technology leadership position for an executive who understands carrier networks deeply, has owned real-world network outcomes, and can connect architecture, capital deployment, construction, operations, and customer readiness. What you will own • Companywide broadband technology strategy, target architecture, engineering standards, and technical roadmaps. • Network design through construction acceptance, activation readiness, operational stabilization, and ongoing performance. • Reliability, capacity, latency, incident response, restoration performance, and lifecycle modernization across all ISP markets. • Technical leadership across broadband operations, field operations, network engineering, the NOC, engineering and construction, network architecture, OSS/BSS and automation, and security operations. • The broadband technology operating budget, capital construction budget, procurement, vendor negotiations, investment business cases, ROI, technical cost metrics, and ISP financial performance. • Technology and equipment selection, technical vendor strategy, major contracts, engineering acceptance criteria, and capital priorities within approved budgets. • Migration to a scalable, common OSS/BSS environment and the automation required to support growth. • Integration and rationalization of acquired and legacy network architectures. What success looks like • A complete technical and organizational assessment is translated into a prioritized execution roadmap. • Every market is working toward clearly documented architecture, engineering, security, and operational standards. • A disciplined build-to-operations acceptance process prevents incomplete or unstable networks from entering production. • Major broadband construction programs advance against schedule, budget, quality, and subscriber-readiness commitments. • Network reliability and incident response improve measurably, with clear ownership and executive visibility. • The OSS/BSS migration and automation roadmap is approved, sequenced, and moving into execution. • A scalable technical organization is in place, with strong leaders, clear decision rights, and consistent accountability. The leader we are looking for • Executive leadership experience in a multi-state ISP or broadband organization. • Deep carrier networking expertise and demonstrated command of fiber-to-the-home/PON, fixed wireless, microwave backhaul, cable/HFC, enterprise fiber and carrier services, and voice communications. • Experience leading engineering, construction, field operations, NOC, and operational leaders while remaining close enough to the work to verify results. • Ownership of large capital programs, operating budgets, technology procurement, and major vendor contracts. • A record of integrating legacy networks and establishing common standards across diverse markets. • Strong business judgment: able to evaluate technical tradeoffs through cost, risk, scalability, customer impact, and return on investment. • Equivalent executive experience accepted in place of a degree; an advanced degree is preferred. How you will lead • Set direction and empower senior leaders, while personally reviewing major designs and critical decisions. • Challenge vendors, budgets, forecasts, and build assumptions with evidence and technical depth. • Work in the details when necessary to establish the organization, standards, and operating discipline. • Practice extreme ownership, build repeatable systems, and challenge the CEO and executive team constructively. • Communicate complex technical and financial issues clearly to executives, operators, vendors, and external stakeholders. Location, travel, and benefits Las Vegas is the preferred location, but it is not required for the right executive. Frequent travel to Stimulus operating markets, construction sites, and network facilities is expected. The position is eligible for executive bonus compensation and equity participation.
