Proven track record leading network modernization or standardization programs from design through execution
Prior experience managing or mentoring network engineering staff
Technical Skills
Fortinet (required) : Deep hands‑on expertise across the FortiOS ecosystem – FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager, FortiSASE, and FortiAnalyzer; Security Fabric architecture experience strongly preferred
SD‑WAN : Design, deployment, and operational management of enterprise SD‑WAN – Fortinet SD‑WAN preferred
Azure Networking : Practical experience with VNets, VPN Gateways, ExpressRoute, Azure Firewall, and hybrid on‑prem/cloud routing
OT/IT Segmentation : Understanding of network architecture requirements in manufacturing environments, including VLAN segmentation, zone‑based firewalling, and OT protocol awareness
Core Networking : Expert‑level command of TCP/IP, BGP/OSPF, routing, switching, VLANs, DHCP/DNS, QoS, VPNs, and network security principles

Cloud : Azure Network Engineer Associate or other Azure certifications
Security : Security+, CISSP, or equivalent
Soft Skills
Confident technical authority who can present architecture decisions to both engineers and senior business stakeholders

Comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast‑moving, PE‑backed environment where priorities can shift
Organized and accountable – able to manage multiple concurrent programs without dropping threads
Why Join Us
Be the most senior network voice in a company actively investing in infrastructure modernization
Own a multi‑year Fortinet standardization program with real budget and executive sponsorship
