Drive product modernization, enhance feasibility accuracy, build future-ready capabilities, and enable scalable, automated planning and delivery processes.

Partner cross-functionally to ensure seamless product design, readiness, and execution.

The role ensures that product roadmaps, feasibility processes, and capacity planning directly support business growth while driving zero?touch, future?ready network capabilities.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Product Strategy & Automation :

- Define and design products in partnership with the BSG team, ensuring alignment with business goals and customer needs.

- Modernize and future-proof Connectivity & IoT products, including FTTH, PRI, SDWAN, RF, IWAN, and emerging technologies.

- Enable sales & BSG to sell better through solution catalogues, based on boilerplates, on SFDC for all products.

- Drive customer-backward tooling and develop a single pane of glass for customers and internal teams.

- Lead Zero-Touch Activation initiatives across RF, IWAN, and point-to-point services.

- Test and qualify devices before deployment on network

2. Feasibility & Planning Leadership :

- Lead the feasibility function for all new deployments FTTH, PRI, SDWAN, IoT with strong focus on demand forecasting, capacity planning, and network readiness.

- Improve feasibility accuracy and enhance instant feasibility to maximize lead-to-order conversions.

- Reduce implementation fallouts by institutionalizing proactive build strategies based on SFDC forecasting.

- Ensure planning standards, audit compliance, and partner governance across all deployment cycles.

- Integrate offline processes into LEO for milestone-based tracking.

3. Future-Ready Network & Product Modernization :

- Enable Transport network planning to teams to build an enterprise network & solutions

- Scale NB-IoT for smart metering and explore Satellite NTN for no-coverage geographies.

- Drive product lifecycle governance and ensure readiness before go-live across delivery and assurance.

4. Capability Building & Talent Development :
