    Network Operations Team Lead - United Kingdom - Wifinity Group

    Default job background
    Description

    About us:
    Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem—our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn't an option.

    And that problem isn't exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.

    Conventional home broadband doesn't always work for them. Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms. We take the complexity out of connectivity.

    The opportunity:

    The Network Operations Team Lead is part of our Network Services team, playing a key part in establishing and maintaining our customer network. Wifinity have secured a 10-year contract to rollout and deliver high speed to connectivity to the largest supplier of later living accommodation in the UK. The Network Operations team lead will be the single point of contact for the programme team delivering this project and responsible for the successful transition of sites into live operations.

    Key areas of focus:

    The Network Operations Team Lead will provide outstanding service focussed on proactively establishing and maintaining our network for our valued customer base.

    Wifinity have invested heavily in automation and cloud network management platforms to enable this programme. You will be responsible for leveraging these tools to assure the quality and performance of services going live.
