In this role, you will operate like a network capacity analyst who is responsible for the long-term health and scalability of our global network infrastructure. You will monitor utilization trends, forecast future requirements, and provide data-driven recommendations to ensure the network can support evolving business demands without performance degradation. You will analyze network usage to plan for upgrades, not troubleshoot the network.
