Position Summary

My client is seeking an exceptional Engineer with strong technology,
leadership, communication and execution skills for a key role in its
Enterprise Technology Services Group. This lead role will combine
technology skills with extremely strong communication, collaboration and
coordination capabilities. The Lead Data Network Engineer role is extremely

Enterprise Technology Solutions is wholly responsible for all "piping" -
Data Networking, Voice Services, Security and Market Data - across the
entire enterprise that bridges across multiple time zones.

thought leadership overseeing a team of 7 professionals to deliver services
globally, to a diversity of cultures. In addition, our successful candidate
will have experience working with a variety of vendors, understand contracts

The successful candidate needs the ability and willingness to work in a
fast-paced, mission-critical environment with a strong focus on delivery and

diverse background, skill set, and perspective, which could be summed up in
a trifecta of raw intellectual horsepower, strong management and technical
skills and an ability to learn and adapt in a rapidly moving environment.
The right person must incorporate outstanding technical skills, a
familiarity with many technologies with strong people and process skills.
This balance between superb technology strength, interpersonal communication
skills and process ability is a fundamental requirement. The appropriate
candidate must be self-sufficient and a collaborative team player, someone
who works hard and retains a long-term perspective, but with a strong detail
orientation. Though this person will be a hands-on contributor, they will

collaborative environment. This position requires excellent written and
verbal communication skills. A degree is required, with an advanced degree
a strong plus.

Why This Role

* Client is a privately held company with no affiliates. Their

not shareholders.

* Client is consistently viewed as one of the best organizations to
work for. Further they are very selective, consistently hiring the most
talented and creative professionals and they work very hard at retaining
their employee's long term.

* There is little internal politics. Most of the time is spent
working on specific, relevant issues or in moving the infrastructure
forward.

* This is not a "siloed" environment. You will be involved in data
networking, voice, security and market data services.

* This is both a technical and managerial role.

* The successful candidate can expect to have regular interaction
with the highest levels of management.

* Beyond management of the 7 team members and interaction with the
architectural and development teams, there is additional responsibility for
working with vendors and carriers; managing contracts and SLA's.
