Full Job Description
As a Manager in SNBA, you will lead high-impact, time-boxed sprints with America's largest communications service providers and internal leaders. This role is ideal for a successful management consultant ready to step into a tech company and lead the AI transformation-designing the playbooks, workflows, and assets others will use-rather than being the object of it. You will own problem solving end-to-end, coach high-performing cross-functional teams, and productize insights so our sales organization can scale impact across accounts. What you will do: • Lead executive-facing customer sprints that quantify the value of technology choices (performance, cost, risk) and drive outcomes such as RFP wins, CapEx reallocation to wireless, and premium price realization. • Own problem framing, analytics, and storyline-from hypothesis to executive-ready recommendations-with clear "make or save money" logic. • Build reusable, AI-enabled models and insight packs (e.g., RAN modernization ROI, FWA scenarios, competitive benchmarks) that reduce cycle time and raise quality. • Deliver multiple data-driven customer engagements leveraging AI tools; capture and share outcomes, lessons learned, and updates to prompts/templates. • Partner with technical experts across Strategy & Technology to translate network performance and solution choices into business value for customers. • Coach junior team members in structured problem solving, analytics, and executive communication; raise the bar for synthesis and storytelling. • Engage senior stakeholders (internal/external), negotiate scope and timelines of projects, and manage risks to deliver on time with high satisfaction. • Contribute to Ericsson's strategic bets (e.g., TAM expansion, 5G+Fiber convergence, beyond connectivity) with data-backed theses and thought leadership. • Foster a culture of AI-first delivery: pilot new tools, codify best practices, and embed automation and quality gates into day-to-day workflows. The skills you bring: • Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, or related field. • 5+ years in top-tier strategy/management consulting or equivalent high-impact internal strategy roles; track record of leading ambiguous problem spaces to clear, defensible answers. • Strong executive communication and storytelling; ability to translate complex technical topics into crisp business implications and recommendations. • Hands-on analytics competence (e.g., Excel modeling, data visualization; comfort working with analysts using Python/SQL/BI tools) and an instinct for data quality. • Demonstrated experience building reusable assets (models, templates, playbooks) that scale impact beyond a single engagement. • Familiarity with telecom, networks, or adjacent tech domains; ability to quickly gain depth in topics like RAN TCO, modernization sequencing, FWA economics, or 5G+Fiber. • Practical experience using or guiding GenAI/ML-enabled workflows in analysis, research, or content generation; appetite to experiment and industrialize. • Stakeholder leadership: proven ability to manage senior clients and cross-functional internal partners; calm under pressure and decisive in trade-offs. • People leadership: coaching analysts/associates; develop high-quality deliverables in complex workstreams; nurturing apprenticeship and feedback culture. • Outcome orientation: focus on business results (revenue growth, margin, price realization, cycle-time reduction) and rigorous measurement of impact.
