Global Network Manager | up to £80,000 + bonus | Remote, UK
Most "global network managers" oversee an outsourced provider. This one owns the network. Lead a fully in-house team running a worldwide Cisco and Azure estate, and set the roadmap for where it goes next.
About our client
A large international business operating across a widely distributed global footprint. Its network is insourced from end to end: hundreds of sites connected back to on-premises data centres and multiple Azure regions, run by its own engineers rather than a carrier. A planned leadership change has opened this Global Network Manager role, with scope likely to grow over time.
What you'll be doing
- Leading a remote network operations team across Asia and North America, including a team supervisor
- Owning service performance, P1 escalations, patching and monthly SLA reporting to senior leadership
- Setting the global network roadmap, engineering standards and service catalogue
- Producing HLDs, LLDs and costed options for new projects, and presenting them to non-technical stakeholders
- Running asset lifecycle and refresh programmes, site openings and acquisition integrations
- Balancing BAU and project demand within an ITIL change framework

What we're looking for
- Experience managing remote operational teams across multiple regions and cultures

- Understanding of hybrid connectivity between on-premises data centres and Azure
- Confident with SolarWinds (ideally NCM), ServiceNow, Jira and Kanban
- Clear communicator who can turn technical detail into decisions for senior stakeholders
