Coordinate telecommunications projects, including circuit consolidation, new circuit installations, carrier transitions, VoIP migrations, and legacy service disconnects. Manage telecommunications services from order through disconnect, ensuring new services are installed and validated and outdated or redundant services are promptly retired. Troubleshoot telecom-related outages and connectivity issues, coordinating with vendors and internal IT teams to get things back up and running. Communicate outage status, business impact, and updates to internal stakeholders and leadership. Manage day-to-day VoIP administration, including users, extensions, phone numbers, devices, voicemail, fax, call routing, queues, licensing, and connectivity. Support telecommunications-related employee and device onboarding and offboarding. Maintain phone and voicemail systems and provide user support and training. Serve as an escalation point for telecom, voice, circuit, and connectivity issues.

Develop reports and dashboards that support budgeting, forecasting, cost management, and project tracking. Manage projects of varying sizes while keeping work aligned with established budgets and schedules. Look for opportunities to improve processes, performance, service reliability, and overall telecommunications efficiency.
