  • Manage supplier performance through regular reviews, meetings, and comprehensive reporting.
  • Identify potential project risks and develop mitigation strategies as necessary.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to establish site lists, delivery timelines, and budgetary considerations.
  • Demonstrate a proven ability to drive project delivery across various organizational departments and third-party suppliers.
  • Exhibit substantial experience in delivering projects within a structured governance framework.
  • Possess a solid understanding of telecommunications processes and interdepartmental dependencies.
  • Have knowledge of various functional deliverables including acquisition, RAN, TX, and deployment.
