Full Job Description
ABOUT THE ROLE:

Skylo's multi-TADIG, multi-PLMN, and multi-clearing-house footprint creates complex settlement combinations that legacy roaming processes were not designed to handle. We are hiring a hands-on Senior Specialist to own the settlement architecture, wholesale pricing constructs, clearing strategy, and external standards work needed for NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) roaming at scale. You will act as our deep subject matter expert to turn complex standards and numbering dependencies into clean operating models.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Architect Routing Logic: Design and maintain accurate CDR, mediation, TAP/RAP/BCE, and reconciliation flows across every relevant TADIG D7 PLMN D7 DCH/FCH combination.
  • Prevent Leakage: Define routing and control logic so data usage reaches the correct clearing partner and settlement entity cleanly without leakage or duplication.
  • Oversee Reconciliation: Manage the daily reconciliation cadence, control totals, dispute handling, root-cause analysis, and executive reporting.
  • Design Pricing Frameworks: Build and structure NTN wholesale pricing mechanisms-including activation, usage, and tiering constructs-mapping them directly to feasible billing methods.
  • Manage Clearing Vendors: Handle the technical execution strategy for DCH/FCH partners, clearing setups, NRTRDE controls, and ongoing service performance.
  • Industry Representation: Represent Skylo within active GSMA working groups, including WSOLU, IDSBCE, BCE, and NRG NTN.
  • Cross-Functional Partnering: Partner internally with Finance, Product, BSS, Network, Legal, and Sales to convert commercial intent into implementable, auditable settlement processes.


REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in wholesale roaming billing, network settlement, clearing, revenue assurance, or telecommunications standards.
  • Advanced technical knowledge of TAP3, RAP, BCE, CDR/mediation flows, DCH/FCH operations, and dispute management.
  • Deep understanding of PLMN, TADIG, IMSI network numbering, roaming identities, and their direct impact on routing and settlement.
  • Proven experience developing wholesale pricing or financial models and converting them into operational billing controls.
  • Solid professional credibility representing an operator or technology provider inside GSMA or comparable standards forums.
  • Strong cross-functional coordination skills with an ability to create workable mechanisms where industry standards are incomplete.


PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Direct experience with NTN, NB-IoT, IoT roaming, NRTRDE, or multi-TADIG and multi-PLMN architectures.
  • Familiarity with major clearing platforms, GSMA portals, BigQuery/SQL, Jira, and Confluence.
  • Past experience negotiating clearing relationships or influencing global industry specifications.
