• Coordinate with engineering, NOC, operations, and security teams to ensure readiness for TIC, SD‑WAN, WAN/LAN, and telecom services entering production.

• Provide Tier IV escalation support for high‑complexity network and telecom issues during transition.
• Maintain alignment with VA policies, NIST SP 800‑53, TIC 3.0, Zero Trust, and ATO sustainment requirements.
• Communicate transition status, risks, dependencies, and milestones clearly with internal and external stakeholders.
