• Lead the design and development of assurance products that span across multiple telecom network domains, including core networks, access networks, transport networks, and service layers.
• Define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for end-to-end assurance solutions that provide visibility and monitoring across all network domains (e.g., 4G/5G, IP/MPLS, SD-WAN, optical, transport, etc.).
• Work closely with network operations, NOC operations, other product teams to gather requirements and deliver products that address cross-domain monitoring, fault detection, and performance optimization.

2. Unified Monitoring & Fault Management:

• Develop assurance solutions that provide a unified view of the network performance across multiple domains, enabling proactive fault management, root cause analysis, and automated remediation.
• Ensure the product supports multi-domain monitoring (e.g., backhaul, radio access network, core, cloud, and IT systems) to provide end-to-end service health visibility.
• Implement cross-domain KPIs, SLAs, and metrics that enable comprehensive tracking of service delivery, fault detection, and network performance.
• Define automated troubleshooting and performance optimization strategies that span across multiple domains to reduce service disruptions and ensure high-quality service delivery.
• Leverage AI and machine learning to predict and prevent potential network failures by analyzing trends and patterns across cross-domain data.

3. Market & Competitive Analysis:

• Conduct research on emerging technologies, industry standards, and trends related to cross-domain network assurance, such as 5G, SD-WAN, virtualized networks, and cloud-native solutions.
• Analyze competitor products and solutions to identify gaps and opportunities for differentiation in the cross-domain assurance market.
• Keep track of innovations in automation, machine learning, and AI that can be leveraged for multi-domain network performance monitoring and troubleshooting.

4. Product Roadmap & Prioritization:

• Develop and maintain a comprehensive product roadmap for cross-domain assurance solutions, ensuring alignment with business objectives, customer needs, and evolving network technologies.
• Lead product iterations, ensuring timely delivery of product updates and enhancements across multiple domains.

5. Product Testing & Validation:

• Lead testing initiatives, including pilot programs, proof of concepts (PoCs), and beta testing, to validate the product across multiple network domains.
• Collaborate with network engineers and QA teams to ensure the assurance product meets functional, performance, and scalability requirements for cross-domain visibility.
• Ensure the product supports seamless integration with existing network management platforms and tools used across different domains.

6. Post-launch Support & Continuous Improvement:

• Monitor the product's effectiveness and performance post-launch, gathering insights and feedback to inform future enhancements.
• Lead initiatives for continuous product improvement by analyzing customer usage patterns and market feedback.
• Ensure that the product evolves in response to new network technologies, regulatory requirements, and customer demands.

7. Documentation & Reporting:

• Maintain comprehensive product documentation, including user guides, product specifications, release notes, and best practices for cross-domain assurance products.
• Provide regular updates and performance reports to senior management and other stakeholders, including key metrics, product adoption rates, and roadmap progress.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. Master’s degree or equivalent is a plus.
• Experience:
• Minimum of 5-7 years of experience in telecom product management or multi-domain network assurance.
• Proven experience in managing assurance products that span multiple network domains (core, access, transport, service layers).
• In-depth knowledge of telecom network technologies preferably in transport (IP/MPLS, SD-WAN, fiber, optical etc.) and cross-domain service management.
• Familiarity with emerging telecom technologies, including SD-WAN, network virtualization, and 5G, as they pertain to cross-domain assurance.
• Proficient in using network management tools, performance monitoring platforms, and analytics platforms.
