As the Head of GEN Customer Network Solution (CNS), you will lead, mentor, and scale this multidisciplinary organization of Technical Program Managers, Program Managers (BRMs), and Network Engineers (CSEs), while serving as a core member of the GEN Senior Leadership Team (SLT). You will direct the end-to-end strategic customer portfolio—owning executive relationships across Alphabet Product Areas, governing annual demand and capacity planning (AOP), enforcing Out-of-Plan (OOP) intake and financial governance, and proactively shaping customer demand toward standardized, high-autonomy NextGEN network services rather than bespoke engineering.
