What you’ll be doing…

You will be joining Verizon Business Group’s Product Organization as a critical member of the Strategic Enablement team.

Or perhaps you can leverage our AI tools to automate follow-up with ease.

In this role responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following:

• Portfolio & Decommissioning Leadership
  • Drive portfolio simplification, lifecycle management, and wireless/wireline product decommissioning initiatives from scope definition to execution.

• Product Readiness & Channel Rationalization
  • Partner with product owners to ensure product readiness, build cross-functional playbooks, and manage stop-sell notifications.
  • Support the work to rationalize Channel and Sales Partner products within the VBG portfolio.
• Strategy, Communication & Executive Presentation
  • Deliver fact-based recommendations, executive communications, and presentations for product strategy, transformation, business cases, and go-to-market plans.
  • Drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholder groups and provide senior leadership with regular updates on project status, metrics, risks, and issues.
• Project Management & Data-Driven Execution
  • Lead key decommissioning efforts designed to reduce expenses.
  • Develop detailed project plans and action registers to track cross-tower initiatives and coordinate resources.
  • Analyze data drivers impacting key metrics and prioritize business improvements based on customer, stakeholder, and employee feedback.
  • Provide regular status updates to stakeholders.

What we’re looking for...​

You’ll need to have:

• Bachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.
• Six or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.
• Product Management, Project Management or Technical Consulting Experience.
• Experience with the VBG Wireline product portfolio.

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• Business products lifecycle management experience and knowledge of Channel Sales Partners.
• Strong project management, financial acumen, and experience leading large integration programs or measuring KPIs (PMP, MBA, or VLSS preferred).
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with proven ability to derive insights, model data, and make data-driven decisions.
• Proficiency in leveraging automation workflows and enterprise AI tools to optimize operational speed and efficiency.
• Experience in risk mitigation, legal/regulatory compliance management, and stop-sell strategy execution during product decommissioning.
• Strong ability to align and influence cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, Network, IT, Marketing, Sales, and Legal teams.
• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills with experience communicating and presenting to all organizational levels.
• Experience in telecom or related industries, or tier-1 management consulting.
• Proven leadership skills in cross-functional matrixed environments, change management, and problem-solving while building trust across teams.
• Strategic thinking ability that translates into actionable ideas, driving operational efficiency and improving customer experience.
• Track record of handling highly confidential information with professional credibility.
