Type: Contract-to-Hire
Client: Confidential
About The Role
Our client is seeking a Senior-level Network Engineer / Manager with expert-level Cisco / Meraki experience to act as the critical link between the business and their outsourced Managed Service Provider (MSP).
This is not a heads-down, deep CLI all day role. We need someone who understands how enterprise networks are actually put together, can speak the language of the business, and can hold a vendor accountable to get things done. You will own the network strategy and execution internally while the outsourced partner handles day-to-day management.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the primary liaison between business stakeholders and the outsourced network management vendor
- Oversee, audit, and direct all network operations, projects, and incident resolution performed by the MSP
- Provide senior-level design, architecture, and troubleshooting guidance for LAN/WAN, WLAN, VPN, and firewall infrastructure
- Translate business requirements into technical requirements and ensure timely delivery by the vendor
- Manage network performance, security, and capacity planning for a Cisco / Meraki environment
- Lead network upgrades, site expansions, and standard equipment deployments
- Establish best practices, documentation, and SLAs for network operations
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of progressive networking experience, with senior-level / lead experience
- Expert-level hands-on experience with Cisco and Meraki - switching, routing, wireless, and security appliances is required
- Solid understanding of core networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, VPN, BGP, OSPF, QoS, firewalls
- Proven experience managing or interfacing with an outsourced MSP / vendor - you know how to get things done through a third party
- Strong communication skills - able to interface with both executive leadership and technical teams
- Experience with standard enterprise networking equipment and architecture best practices
- CCNP, CCIE, or Meraki CMNA certification is a strong plus
Work Model
Hybrid role based in Scottsdale, AZ - 4 days per week in office is required. Local candidates preferred.

Contract-to-hire opportunity.
