- Coordinate install and cutover execution, including site/provider scheduling, internal handoffs, maintenance windows, and execution readiness.
- Plan and execute testing aligned to agreed acceptance criteria; capture and manage test evidence and implementation exceptions through to resolution or documented acceptance.
- Complete BAU handover with closure evidence and required metadata; ensure documentation quality supports operational readiness and auditability.
- Execute decommission/disconnect activities where in scope, with appropriate governance and closure evidence.
- Partner with the Demand Managers for customer-facing status communications, providing accurate milestone updates, risks, and mitigation plans.
- Coordinate with telecom providers, vendors, and internal engineering teams end-to-end – from design through acceptance testing and BAU handover – driving performance against SLAs.
