About the role

  • Senior Program Manager driving Universal Inventory initiative for Canada's leading telecom company. Collaborating with senior leaders to optimize network performance via AI and automation.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the Universal Inventory Initiative from Vision to Impact
  • Define and communicate the Universal Inventory vision, roadmap, and strategic priorities to align stakeholders across engineering, network operations, CIO, and AI/ML teams on what gets built and when
  • Orchestrate cross-functional execution across multiple departments and external partners, coordinating software engineers, network specialists, data engineers, and product teams to remove blockers and maintain momentum
  • Establish data governance standards and quality frameworks to ensure inventory accuracy, completeness, and accessibility—creating the clean data foundation that powers predictive maintenance, automation, and AI/ML initiatives
  • Partner with network operations, automation teams, and business leaders to understand their needs, drive adoption of Universal Inventory, and ensure the system solves real operational problems
  • Manage program health, track milestones and deliverables, and provide regular status updates to executives and leadership—identifying risks early and escalating when needed
  • Present program progress, business impact, and key decisions at steering committees and leadership reviews, translating technical complexity into executive insights
  • Oversee program budget, resource allocation, and capacity planning across teams that don't report directly to you, building the business case for continued investment
  • Track metrics that matter—how inventory quality reduces MTTR, enables faster automation, improves ML accuracy, reduces outages, and drives cost savings
  • Navigate technical complexity, legacy system integration, and organizational change to keep the program moving forward
  • Enable team success by removing friction, providing clarity on priorities, advocating for resources, and creating conditions for execution

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of network data modeling, APIs, and data pipelines—credible in technical conversations with engineers about architecture, feasibility, and integration
  • Advanced influence, stakeholder management, and cross-functional leadership skills to drive program momentum
  • Advanced communication and presentation skills—comfortable presenting to executives and steering committees, with a demonstrated ability to translate technical complexity and system limitations into business risk narratives that resonate
  • Proven track record leading transformational programs from strategy through execution and adoption at scale
  • Strong problem-solving skills that turn complex business challenges into viable technical solutions
  • Great-to-haves Experience implementing or managing inventory systems like Netcracker, Circuit Vision, or AMDOCS. You've been in the trenches with enterprise inventory platforms and know their strengths and limitations
