  • Design, enforce, and continuously scale standardized operational frameworks and rules of engagement for all maturity and diagnostic services
  • Strategically align Education and Services by ensuring member organizations fulfill prerequisite capability and certification models prior to initiating benchmarking validation
  • Orchestrate the global delivery process by managing a matrix of internal technical experts, external freelance validators, and consulting partners
  • Oversee the commercial lifecycle of diagnostic services, including revenue tracking, partner contribution management, and holistic vendor management
  • Drive the member recognition strategy, ensuring successful industry-wide publication of benchmark achievements and integration into TM Forum’s overarching rewards programs

Requirements:

  • Proven experience directing B2B service delivery pipelines, professional services, or customer success operations for large enterprise clients
  • Exceptional ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and launch new products/services on strict deadlines
  • Strong capability for handling, analysing and standardizing complex data for executive reporting (eg extracting into, and manipulating data in Excel), establishing data integrity frameworks, managing confidential information etc.
  • Gravitas and high-level communication skills
  • comfortable advising and guiding senior technical stakeholders
  • Demonstrated experience managing vendor relationships, consulting partners, commercial tracking, and P&L/budget oversight

Nice to have:

  • Background in the telecommunications industry, with an understanding of network operations, IT architecture, or Autonomous Networks
  • Experience working with industry benchmarking, maturity models, or standardized auditing/validation processes
  • Familiarity with organizational change management models (e.g., ADKAR)
