  • Enter, update, and manage Change Requests / tickets in Footprints and ServiceNow associated with device changes and compliance-driven operational work.
  • Collaborate across all tiers of the operations organization and partner closely with TOC to ensure operational readiness and consistent execution of transitioned responsibilities.
  • Contribute to and participate in network improvement initiatives and operational process improvements.
  • Perform troubleshooting and analysis of network devices and related appliances (as applicable).

Basic/Required Qualifications

  • In lieu of Bachelor's degree and two (2) years of experience: High School/GED plus six (6) years of related experience.
  • Demonstrated network operations experience troubleshooting enterprise networks using strong TCP/IP fundamentals.
  • Network maintenance: Experience performing Cisco IOS/OS updates/upgrades and completing required validation checks.
  • Ticketing / change documentation discipline: Experience creating/updating operational tickets and documenting device changes in enterprise ticketing/change systems (Footprints and/or ServiceNow experience preferred).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to produce clear documentation and follow controlled operational procedures.
  • Networking Protocols: Proficiency configuring and troubleshooting common networking protocols and technologies.
  • Routing & Switching: Ability to troubleshoot routing and switching issues in a production environment.

Desired Qualifications

  • Prior experience providing network operations support in an enterprise environment.
  • Experience executing operational changes on network devices, including Cisco IOS/OS upgrades and post-change validation.

  • Hands-on experience with OpenGear configuration and troubleshooting (or similar console/terminal server platforms).
  • Experience implementing device security changes such as password changes and ACL modifications on Cisco/OpenGear/network devices.
  • Ansible automation experience-playbook execution preferred; playbook creation/maintenance is a strong plus.
