Description

This role reports to the TelcoDR EVP of Product and will drive the TelcoDR strategic product vision and roadmap and work with our Telco customers on their cloud transformation.

TelcoDR is building an end-to-end portfolio of Telco software solutions, with a vision to drive innovation and redevelop these solutions as Cloud Native fully leveraging new AWS technologies and services wherever possible.

  • Create product vision that excites customers

  • Believe their job is project plans and feature/bug commitment tracking
  • Make technical decisions
