Description The TeamAlvarez & Marsal's Corporate Performance Improvement practice is looking for a Network Engineering leader to drive large-scale network assessment, consolidation, and network transformation for clients operating complex, globally distributed infrastructure environments. This role requires someone who has redesigned enterprise network architectures at scale - not just operating existing networks.
Experience Should Include
- Wide-area network (WAN) and local-area network (LAN) architecture, software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) design and implementation, and SASE deployment
- Legacy circuit optimization, bandwidth/latency analysis, and network cost modeling
- Network security architecture - micro-segmentation, Zero Trust networking, perimeter modernization
- Multi-classification network environments and cross-domain solution architectures
- SATCOM, wireless integration, and tactical/edge network design
- Government telecommunications policy and compliance - direct experience with federal network environments is a strong advantage and preferred for this role
- AI-driven network monitoring, anomaly detection, and optimization tooling - baseline competency with AI-assisted tools expected; candidates should articulate how AI accelerates network analysis and operations
- Negotiating with carriers and general understanding of commercial models and contracts available.
- Design and architecting 99.99% uptime hybrid network infrastructure with zero single points of failure. Proven experience with active-active failover across on-premises and cloud environments, sub-second recovery mechanisms, and multi-region/multi-availability-zone redundancy.
How you will contribute- Lead network architecture and engineering assessments - topology analysis, bandwidth/latency optimization, cost modeling, and roadmaps
- Design SD-WAN/SASE target architectures that support hybrid and multi-cloud workloads across classification levels
- Assess Zero Trust network readiness and develop implementation roadmaps aligned to compliance timelines
- Evaluate dependencies between network modernization and cloud migration sequencing
- Define and Integrate findings into A&M's broader engagement scope and deliverables
- Support practice development through internal training, content creation, and people development
Qualifications- 8-12+ years of professional experience in network architecture for complex, large enterprises, with consulting or advisory delivery
- Demonstrated experience leading network consolidation, efficiency, performance improvement or transformation programs
- Federal network environment experience preferred - deep transformation experience in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare) can substitute
- Bachelor's degree required; CCIE, CCNP, or equivalent certifications strongly preferred
- Comfortable with travel up to 80%
- Full-time, contract, and project-based engagements available
What Distinguishes a Great Candidate
Has designed and implemented large scale, highly complex Network transformations at scale - not just operated existing networks. Understands the dependency between network readiness and cloud migration success. Can work across telecom procurement, security, and infrastructure teams. Brings AI-assisted network analysis into the delivery toolkit as standard practice.
