Your days will involve analyzing network demand patterns, identifying bottlenecks in our planning processes, and designing scalable solutions that balance short-term execution with long-term strategic vision. You'll present findings and recommendations to senior leaders across multiple organizations, building consensus around capacity investments that enable service growth without constraints. Beyond routine planning activities, you'll champion process improvements and mentor cross-functional teams on capacity thinking, helping shape how we approach infrastructure scaling.
