Lead RBC's mission-critical access network operations across branches, campuses, remote workers, ATMs, global Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, and WAN connectivity.

Drive operational excellence and modernization through SRE practices, automation, AI-assisted operations, resilience work, and incident follow-up.

Network operations

  • Lead global access network operations and maintain availability and service-level adherence.
  • Direct critical incident triage, root-cause analysis, escalation, and communications.
  • Oversee network changes, migrations, and refreshes while minimizing business disruption.
  • Conduct post-incident reviews, address resilience gaps and chronic issues, and implement preventive measures.

Team leadership and modernization

  • Champion SRE transformation, automation, observability, proactive detection and remediation, and AI-assisted operations.
  • Evaluate AI agents, intelligent alerting, predictive analytics, and other emerging technologies for operations.
  • Maintain standardized runbooks and documentation; plan network refreshes, SD-WAN expansion, and infrastructure upgrades.
  • Partner with engineering and business technology teams and report operational metrics, risks, and progress to leadership.

Required experience and skills

  • 6–8 years of enterprise network operations experience, including 2–4 years in leadership or senior technical management.
  • Experience driving modernization and automation; strong SRE foundation in runbooks, observability, automation, and metrics-driven operations.
  • Hands-on access-network knowledge including routing and switching protocols, SD-WAN, Aruba wireless, ClearPass, Wi-Fi, and ATM networks.
  • Strong critical incident management, root-cause analysis, and high-pressure communications experience.
  • Experience managing 15 or more technical operations staff with service-level, metrics, and delivery accountability.

Preferred qualifications

  • CCNP, CISSP, or another relevant network certification is a plus.
  • Python, Ansible, or Bash scripting; orchestration platforms, AI agents, or intelligent alerting experience are advantageous.
  • Cross-functional digital transformation or infrastructure modernization leadership experience is an advantage.
