Position Summary
My client is seeking an exceptional Engineer with strong technology,
leadership, communication and execution skills for a key role in its
Enterprise Technology Services Group. This lead role will combine
technology skills with extremely strong communication, collaboration and
coordination capabilities. The Lead Data Network Engineer role is extremely
challenging and the high level keys to this position include:
Technology
The candidate should have a strong technical acumen with at least 10 years
progressive experience in lead data engineering roles supporting enterprise
environments. This individual will lead the Data Network Operations team
within Enterprise Technology Services. They will need to take initiative, be
able to function both independently and as a member of a team and be
successful with minimal supervision.
Candidates will possess expertise in managing a complex LAN and WAN
environment across numerous business units and geographical locations. They
will provide 24X7 production support in a multi-vendor environment for all
Network technologies. They will interface with technical and non-technical
individual contributors and business executives. The candidate will have
extensive production support and leadership experience; displaying
ownership, strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication and
decision-making skills.
Business Domain
While experience working in an investment management firm or in
Global Markets of a large Investment bank would be highly desirable, it
is not a strict requirement. Our successful candidate will understand the
urgency that is implicit in a 24 X 7, global trading environment and the
criticality of having the infrastructure available at all times. Experience
working with Asia Pacific and Europe in addition to the US is necessary.
Enterprise Technology Solutions is wholly responsible for all "piping" -
Data Networking, Voice Services, Security and Market Data - across the
entire enterprise that bridges across multiple time zones.
The successful candidate will contribute very "hands-on" technical and
thought leadership overseeing a team of 7 professionals to deliver services
globally, to a diversity of cultures. In addition, our successful candidate
will have experience working with a variety of vendors, understand contracts
and SLA's (Service Level Agreements) and be willing to "roll up their
sleeves" to maintain the continuity for global high availability front and
back/middle office applications.

fast-paced, mission-critical environment with a strong focus on delivery and

diverse background, skill set, and perspective, which could be summed up in
a trifecta of raw intellectual horsepower, strong management and technical
skills and an ability to learn and adapt in a rapidly moving environment.
The right person must incorporate outstanding technical skills, a
familiarity with many technologies with strong people and process skills.
This balance between superb technology strength, interpersonal communication
skills and process ability is a fundamental requirement. The appropriate
candidate must be self-sufficient and a collaborative team player, someone
who works hard and retains a long-term perspective, but with a strong detail

talented and creative professionals and they work very hard at retaining
their employee's long term.
* There is little internal politics. Most of the time is spent
working on specific, relevant issues or in moving the infrastructure
forward.
* This is not a "siloed" environment. You will be involved in data
networking, voice, security and market data services.
* This is both a technical and managerial role.
* The successful candidate can expect to have regular interaction
with the highest levels of management.
* Beyond management of the 7 team members and interaction with the
architectural and development teams, there is additional responsibility for
working with vendors and carriers; managing contracts and SLA's.
