6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Network Availability (Critical Infrastructure)
Achieving 'Five Nines' for our core network and critical communications systems.
Target · 99.999% uptime for core network, 99.99% for UCaaS/CCaaS platforms

If our core data centre network had 5 minutes of unplanned downtime over a year, that's 99.999% availability. For our main contact centre platform, we're aiming for no more than 52 minutes of downtime annually.

Carrier Spend Optimisation
Reducing our annual telecommunications carrier costs through smart negotiation, circuit optimisation, and robust TEM practices.
Target · 5-10% year-over-year reduction in total carrier spend (excluding growth-related increases)

Identifying and decommissioning £50K worth of unused circuits, renegotiating a major WAN contract to save £150K annually, resulting in a total £200K saving on a £2M budget (10%).

Strategic Roadmap Execution
Successfully delivering the key initiatives outlined in our annual network and communications strategy.
Target · 85%+ of planned strategic initiatives completed on-time and within budget

Completing the global SD-WAN rollout to 10 new sites, migrating 50% of legacy PBX users to the new UCaaS platform, and implementing a new network security segmentation project, all by Q4.

Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) for Critical Incidents
How quickly we restore service after a major network or communications outage. This is a big one.
Target · Reduce MTTR for P1/P2 incidents by 15% year-over-year

If our average MTTR for a P1 network outage was 60 minutes last year, we're aiming for 51 minutes this year. This means better diagnostics, faster escalation, and clearer runbooks.

Team Engagement & Development
Fostering a high-performing team, ensuring engineers feel supported, challenged, and have clear career paths.
  • Regular 1:1s, documented development plans for each team member, positive feedback in internal employee surveys, successful internal promotions, and a low voluntary attrition rate for your team. You'll know it's working when your team members are proactively suggesting improvements and taking ownership.
Vendor Relationship Strength
Building strong, productive relationships with our key carriers and technology partners, ensuring they deliver on their promises.
  • Regular, structured vendor review meetings with clear action items. Vendors proactively bringing us new ideas or solutions. Getting preferential treatment or faster response times during issues. Fewer disputes over billing or service delivery. Basically, they should see us as a valued partner, not just another customer.
Strategic Influence & Collaboration
Effectively collaborating with other IT and business leaders, ensuring network and communications strategy supports broader organisational goals.
  • You're regularly invited to cross-functional planning meetings. Your input is sought on new application deployments or office expansions. You can get other teams to agree on network standards without a fight. You're seen as a trusted advisor, not just 'the network guy/gal'.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Problems

You get a real kick out of unpicking a tricky network issue that's affecting multiple sites, or figuring out how to integrate a new cloud service securely and efficiently. It's the puzzle-solving aspect that keeps you engaged.

Successfully troubleshooting a mysterious latency issue affecting users across Europe, only to find a subtle routing misconfiguration that no one else spotted. Or designing a new hybrid cloud connectivity model that saves £100K annually.

Building and Developing a Team

You genuinely enjoy mentoring your engineers, helping them grow their skills, and seeing them take on bigger challenges. You're proud of your team's achievements and actively work to create a supportive, high-performing environment.

Helping a junior engineer get their first professional certification, or coaching a senior architect through a difficult vendor negotiation, seeing them succeed and gain confidence.

Driving Strategic Impact

You want your work to matter at a higher level. You're motivated by seeing your network strategy enable new business initiatives, improve customer experience, or deliver significant cost savings to the company.

Successfully championing the adoption of a new SASE architecture that fundamentally improves our security posture and user experience, getting praise from the CISO and Head of Remote Work.

What frustrates people
  • Carrier Accountability Black Hole: You'll spend countless hours fighting with telecom carriers over chronic billing errors, missed installation dates, and SLA breaches, often with little resolution. It's like banging your head against a brick wall sometimes.
  • Inheriting the 'Rat's Nest': You might take over a network with decades of undocumented legacy cabling, misconfigured devices, and abandoned circuits. It's a nightmare to troubleshoot and modernise, and it's your problem now.
  • The Utility Paradox: Most of the time, the network is invisible. But the moment an application slows down or a phone call drops, everyone blames the network, regardless of the actual root cause. You're the scapegoat, basically.
  • 'Shadow IT' Undermining Strategy: You'll discover that a department bought its own communications solution or signed a contract for a non-standard video conferencing platform. This creates security holes and support chaos, and you're left to pick up the pieces.
  • The Budget Squeeze: You'll face constant pressure from above to slash carrier spend by 15% year-over-year, even as business demand for bandwidth and new services is exploding. It's a constant battle.
  • Translating 'Geek Speak': The endless struggle of explaining to the board why a multi-million-pound core switch refresh is critical for business continuity when the current one 'seems to be working just fine'. It's exhausting.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine with minimal interruptions.
  • The luxury of focusing purely on technical problems without the need for people management or budget wrangling.
  • A guarantee that every project you start will see the light of day or be perfectly executed without external interference.
  • An environment where you can avoid difficult conversations with vendors, team members, or other department heads.

8Who you work with

This role directly underpins all business communications and data flow, impacting everything from customer service and sales productivity to financial transactions and employee collaboration. Your decisions here directly affect our operational resilience, security posture, and overall cost base. Basically, if the network goes down, so does the company. You're responsible for preventing that, or fixing it quickly when it does.

Inside the business
  • Head of IT Operations
  • CFO and Finance Leadership
  • Cyber Security Leadership
  • Application Development Leads
  • Regional IT Managers
Outside the business
  • Major Telecommunications Carriers (e.g., BT, Vodafone, Virgin Media Business)
  • Unified Communications (UC) & Network Hardware Vendors (e.g., Cisco, Microsoft, Palo Alto)
  • Telecom Expense Management (TEM) Providers
  • Industry Regulators (e.g., Ofcom)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven experience leading and managing a technical team, ideally in a network or telecommunications function.
  • Demonstrable track record of managing significant budgets (e.g., £500K+) and delivering cost savings.
  • Extensive experience in designing, implementing, and operating complex enterprise-level networks and unified communications solutions.
  • Strong background in vendor management and contract negotiation with major telecommunications carriers.
  • A solid understanding of ITIL principles and their practical application in a network operations environment.
  • Experience presenting technical information and strategic recommendations to senior leadership and non-technical audiences.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) Architecture

Critical within 12-18 months—the shift to hybrid work and cloud applications means traditional perimeter security is dead. SASE is the future of secure, flexible connectivity. You'll need to lead the strategy and implementation.

Convergence of Network & Security · Edge Computing Integration · Vendor Consolidation Strategies · Identity-Driven Security

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

AI-Driven Network Automation & Orchestration

Critical within 12 months—network operations are becoming too complex for manual intervention. AI and machine learning are moving from monitoring to actively managing and optimising networks. Teams that don't embrace this will be left behind, struggling with outages and inefficiencies.

  • Intent-Based Networking (IBN)
  • AIOps for Predictive Maintenance
  • Network as Code (NaC)
  • Closed-Loop Automation

Quantum Networking & Post-Quantum Cryptography Awareness

Important within 2-3 years—while not mainstream yet, the threat of quantum computing breaking current encryption is real. As a manager, you need to understand the implications for long-term network security and start planning for future-proofing.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, as a Network & Communications Manager, your plate is always full. You're juggling team management, budget reviews, vendor calls, and still trying to keep an eye on the tech. What if you could reclaim a significant chunk of that time, not by working harder, but by working smarter with AI? We're talking about automating the tedious bits so you can focus on the strategic stuff that truly matters.

Our AI Productivity Hub isn't just for engineers; it's designed to give leaders like you a real edge. Imagine AI handling the grunt work of report drafting or sifting through mountains of data, freeing you up to strategise, mentor, and innovate. Honestly, it's a game-changer for how you'll manage your function.

Proactive Outage Prevention

Use AIOps platforms (like Datadog or ServiceNow) to analyse network telemetry, predict anomalies, and automatically identify root causes of performance degradation before they become full-blown outages. This means less firefighting for your team and more stability for the business. You'll get alerts that actually mean something, not just noise.

Automated Invoice Auditing

Deploy AI-powered TEM tools to scan and analyse complex carrier invoices. These tools automatically flag billing errors, identify unused circuits, and highlight optimisation opportunities that are frankly impossible for humans to spot at scale. Think of the savings and the time your team will get back from manual audits.

Vendor & Regulation Research

Leverage AI assistants to rapidly summarise the key capabilities of new SASE vendors, compare complex Master Service Agreement (MSA) and Service Level Agreement (SLA) documents, or distil the key impacts of new Ofcom or international data sovereignty regulations on your network architecture. Get the executive summary in minutes, not hours.

Incident & Board Comms Drafting

Use AI to generate the first draft of a technical Root Cause Analysis (RCA) document after an incident, or to translate complex network performance data into a clear, concise executive summary for a board presentation. This means faster, clearer communication when it matters most, saving you precious time on documentation.
