Maybe you are a top-notch visual communicator and information designer – able to transform complex ideas into compelling infographics and executive presentations. Or perhaps you can leverage our AI tools to automate follow-up with ease.

In this role responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following:

• Portfolio & Decommissioning Leadership
  • Drive portfolio simplification, lifecycle management, and wireless/wireline product decommissioning initiatives from scope definition to execution.
  • Serve as decommissioning lead—aligning strategic evolution across Infrastructure, Applications, and Orchestration verticals while collaborating with Product Owners, Legal, Regulatory, and the Customer Modernization Team (CMT).
• Product Readiness & Channel Rationalization
  • Partner with product owners to ensure product readiness, build cross-functional playbooks, and manage stop-sell notifications.
  • Support the work to rationalize Channel and Sales Partner products within the VBG portfolio.
• Strategy, Communication & Executive Presentation
  • Deliver fact-based recommendations, executive communications, and presentations for product strategy, transformation, business cases, and go-to-market plans.
  • Drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholder groups and provide senior leadership with regular updates on project status, metrics, risks, and issues.
• Project Management & Data-Driven Execution
  • Lead key decommissioning efforts designed to reduce expenses.
  • Develop detailed project plans and action registers to track cross-tower initiatives and coordinate resources.
  • Analyze data drivers impacting key metrics and prioritize business improvements based on customer, stakeholder, and employee feedback.
